It’s been a little while since we’ve done one of these, so there’s some old-ish news in this post. If you’ve been following the baseball world over the holiday week, this won’t be news to you! If you haven’t, well, it’s the holidays so there isn’t quite as much going on as your typical week.
The biggest signing of the last week-plus came from the Twins, which is not a sentence you will hear for many weeks in a given baseball offseason. They did make a decent splash last week, however, signing veteran slugger Nelson Cruz to a one-year deal worth a little more than $14 million.
