The Rundown: Hoyer Front and Center as Meetings Approach, Bellinger/Hoerner Rumors Escalate, Beltin’ Bill Melton Passes Away

Hey! It’s the last Friday before the 2024 Winter Meetings and we’re all hoping Jed Hoyer will ring those bells that’ll tinkle our troubles away. Please, Jed, make this December the one we’ll remember, “the best and the merriest we ever did have.”

Unfortunately, his sleighful of potential transactions doesn’t include Juan Soto or Corbin Burnes, but a splendid time could be had for all with a blockbuster trade or two and a free agent signing. The Winter Meetings are a great time no matter what, so if Hoyer initially abstains and keeps us waiting, it’s simply Jed doing as Jed does.
