NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Here are five things to take away from Tuesday, the second day of baseball's winter meetings.
No. 1: All of the texts, calls, emails, smoke signals and carrier pigeons in the world don't always add up to a deal.
Chris Antonetti's phone buzzed, buzzed and buzzed some more as he met with reporters on Tuesday afternoon at the Opryland resort in Nashville. Antonetti said the Indians have had dialogue with 22 or 23 teams this week about 20 or so of the Tribe's players and prospects.
"Every day, it's literally hundreds of exchanges, whether it's meetings or phone calls or text messages," Antonetti said.
