While MLB hasn’t announced the winter meetings will remain a virtual event, my guess is once owners realize how much money they’re saving on flights, hotel bills and bar tabs, they’ll come to the quick realization the Hot Stove League works just as well without any face-to-face meetings.
In case you haven’t been paying attention, baseball’s traditional offseason gathering of executives, agents and media was canceled this year because of COVID-19 concerns, forcing all parties to do their jobs at home.
This week still has been delegated as the “Winter Meetings” and the virtual Rule 5 draft will be held Thursday on the last day.
