A frustrating winter continues for Cubs fans, and those clinging to hope that Jed Hoyer will be overly active in the next few weeks — just as I do — are becoming skeptical. Four of the top 10 free agents remain unsigned with pitchers and catchers set to report in about three weeks. If you’re hoping for a trade or two there aren’t many rumors to be found.
Scott Boras represents the four players at the top of the market, and one obstacle he’s fighting to overcome is limited interest in each of those free agents.
