I can’t believe I’m still saying this, but we’ve gone another day without a significant free agent signing in the MLB. The market is moving like a snail stuck in molasses, as nearly all of the top free agents are still waiting for a suitable offer. We’re getting increasingly used to seeing agents wait out the market, but we’ve never seen this many prepared to head into January without a new contract.
I don’t want to rehash the top players that are still available (note: It’s nearly all of them except Carlos Santana, who signed with the Phillies), as it feels like we’ve been allowed more than sufficient time to dream about guys like Lorenzo Cain or Yu Darvish ending up in a Blue Jay uniform.
