I don’t think it really should be a surprise that the Winter Meetings have been as quiet as they have. As I wrote in my preview article, MLB front offices are in contact with each other 365 days a year. They don’t need to be in the same hotel suite to make a deal. But that doesn’t mean it’s a little disappointing.
Also, Andrew McCutchen looks weird clean-shaven. I assume the Phillies will let him grow back his facial hair.
- There was one very important development during the Winter Meetings as Craig Calcaterra released his sixth-annual list of the Most Handsome Managers in baseball.
