The Rundown: A Cubs Holiday Wish List, Winter Meetings Conclude With Little Movement, MLB Uncertain About April 1 Start Date

I am not sure why I hoped this year’s Winter Meetings would offer us a maniacal frenzy similar to that of Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall) and his troops during the Ride of the Valkyries scene from Apocalypse Now, but with teams expecting to cut costs I was relatively certain that there would at least be more trade activity. However, after four days of virtual meetings, none of Francisco Lindor, Kris Bryant, Javier Báez, Yu Darvish, Sonny Gray, or Giancarlo Stanton have been moved.
