HARBOR PLACE, Md. - The baseball season always comes to an abrupt halt. Be it the regular season or the postseason, it's a finite thing. One day somebody is busting it from first to third, the next day he's packing his bags for home.
The winter meetings aren't like that. They go from Sunday through Thursday every winter, but when they end the signings and trades keep going. Like a Mike Napoli home run, they have good carry.
This year's meetings ended Thursday at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.
