Based on the last few days of activity, as well as the number of players still available via free agency and trade, I have a feeling this year’s Winter Meetings will be wild. We haven’t had an opportunity to witness baseball’s yearly rumor mill of chaos in the last two years due to COVID and the MLB-instituted lockout, but it’s finally here tomorrow.
The Rangers made the first big tsunami-sized splash in the free agent pool this offseason by signing Jacob deGrom to a five-year, $185 million deal last night. Apparently, he didn’t even wait for the Mets to make a final offer.
