Yesterday began the loveliest month of the calendar year. The one when all our hearts are filled with love and romance; we’re giddy because we know what’s coming in a few weeks. There are butterflies in our stomach and we jump with excitement. That’s what February brings every year. That’s when spring training gets underway.

Spring training is indeed almost here, and there are still so many free agents left unsigned. What’s happened this offseason — rather, hasn’t happened — is unprecedented, weird, and amazing in its own way.
