That doesn’t mean there’ll be a ton of early movement (I think it’ll just be a normal offseason in that respect). But I had about 50 tabs open this morning with reports and rumors out of Las Vegas. For your convenience, I’ve collected some of the highlights from those stories, alongside my own perspective, below. Let’s dive in! Starting Pitcher Trade Market No surprises here...

Another mediocre season would likely […]
