Baseball’s winter meetings in Orlando, Fla., last week didn’t provide much entertainment, much to the dismay of MLB Network, which provided non-stop coverage of the annual affair.
It was a fake swap-o-rama, with only one big deal — Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna to the Cardinals — and a plethora of no-name middle relievers signing free-agent deals.
The Giancarlo Stanton deal to the Yankees was made official, but all the drama took place the weekend before. Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani was discovered to have an elbow issue, but no one from the Angels seemed too concerned.
