It's the seventh inning stretch of the offseason, a time to take stock of where teams are and who's still out there waiting for someone to stuff a few million dollars in their stockings.
After binge-ing by teams in early to mid-December, only crumbs typically remain on the free agent market when Christmas rolls around and executives take a brief respite from their offseason maneuvering.
But several big-ticket items remain available, including Chris Davis, Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Gordon, Justin Upton, Scott Kazmir and Dexter Fowler.
Even Alexei Ramirez is still out there in case the White Sox are interested in bringing back an enigmatic shortstop who is one year removed from an All-Star season.
