NASHVILLE, Tenn — For a while there, I was starting to wonder whether anything was going to happen. Day 2 of the Winter Meetings started slow, but ended with a bang.
One of the first big offensive dominos fell when Ben Zobrist signed with the Chicago Cubs. Almost immediately after that news went official, the Cubs turned around and traded Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees.
But that wasn't the end of it. As writers were still scrambling to compose headlines for those deals, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves came together for a monster trade involving Shelby Miller.
