The Winter Meetings are often the high point of the MLB offseason. The fact that the high point is a lot of team execs in suits milling about a fancy hotel in early December probably says a lot more about baseball than it should, but I digress. This week will be filled with signings, trades, rumors of signings and trades, and also the Rule 5 Draft.
Two years ago, the Rockies walked away from the Winter Meetings with a shiny new Ian Desmond. Last year, they signed Bryan Shaw and Jake McGee and made progress toward signing Wade Davis, though that signing wasn’t completed for another couple of weeks.
