Is Stanton destined to go west? Can the Red Sox strike big? The MLB hitters market is full of potential solid, if not franchise-altering players.
With the GM Meetings finally underway, the MLB Free Agency period has opened. Teams are able to discuss possible contract terms with free agents as well as discuss trades with other clubs.
The 2017 Free Agency period sees many sluggers and above-average hitters hitting the open market. Considering last year’s weak market for hitters, it will be curious whether teams invest significant money in a middle-of-the-order slugger. At the outset of the Winter Meetings, there has also been a significant flurry of trade rumors regarding several sluggers, most notably Giancarlo Stanton, and what it would take to acquire them via a trade.
