The internet is abuzz with MLB free agency and trade rumors these days as we all wait for the first domino to fall. Qualifying offers are in, fringe players have been assigned or claimed, and 40-man rosters have been pared down to 33 or 34, but the barometric pressure remains low. Even baseball’s true insiders haven’t had anything substantial to report. I am anxiously awaiting the moment I see the words “signed” or “acquired” on the 2017 Offseason Transaction Report.
So I thought I’d have little fun since yesterday was a relatively slow news day.
