The MLB offseason has been all mouth and no trousers thus far.
Although the Jays have endured a quiet start to the winter, it appears that this waiting game on free agency hold trues for the rest of the league.
Given the imminent pandemic, the financial uncertainty for owners is as high as its been in recent years and it is likely that the owners are waiting for a team to draw first blood on a marquee free agent in order to set the tone for the rest of the market.
