A Quiet Off-Season Bereft Of Bad Moves

Well, Jim Bagg doesn’t seem to be writing anything so I guess I’m chime in. What do write about when your team is annoyingly quiet as you wait, with great anticipation, for that bold, key, or unexpected winter move?

One thing you write about is the absence of that dreaded clunker: the regrettable deal that comes with “no takesies backsies” printed in blocked letters across the pre-expired receipt. So far, as 2019 has turned to 2020 we have been spared the A’s bidding against themselves to get “ahead of the market” in offering Billy Butler an inflated 3-year deal.
