Before we get started, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Moshe Wilensky and I just joined Cubs Insider as a weekly contributor, primarily focusing on financial issues affecting the Cubs and Major League Baseball.
For my first post, I would like to talk about this offseason’s free agent market. As you may have heard by now, it was extremely slow, with six of the consensus top 20 free agents unsigned at the start of spring training. Players and agents alike were vocal in their unhappiness with the system, going so far as to accuse teams of collusion.
