The off-season has been slow to develop, but with Shohei Ohtani signing with the Angels this week, action picking up on the Giancarlo Stanton trade front, and the Winter Meetings next week, things should pick up quickly now.
The Royals have kept Eric Hosmer in their sights as the primary free agent they would like to bring back, but are being passive in their pursuit, hoping the market comes to them. The market has been slow to develop for Hosmer, but things are starting to move. Hosmer had been expected to be pursued by the Red Sox, Yankees, and possibly Cardinals, but there has been little in rumors with those teams.
