I love this time of year. No, no…not the “holiday season”, or the run-up to Christmas Winter Break… (For us lazy shift-less teachers) the MLB offseason! I love this time of the year… it’s when rumors are flying like courier pigeons carrying unsubstantiated messages from one team to another. (I was going to use ravens instead of pigeons…not sure if everybody watches Game of Thrones)
Since the late 1970’s, (when I was a young pup and most of you were at least a decade from being born) I have fanatically followed baseball’s winter meetings…grasping for any crumbs of info I could scarf down.
