We've officially entered 2022 and despite their being no end in sight for this player lockout, spring training workouts are tentatively scheduled to start in 6 weeks.
Obviously, the mid-February reporting dates for MLB clubs is in jeopardy of being pushed back if no agreement is made within the next couple weeks, but I'd imagine talks to start heating up here in January.
Despite the two sides being a ways off in discussions, I don't think anybody wants to risk pushing the season's start date and once business is back to normal, I expect a flurry of moves similar to what we witnessed at the end of November.
