Good morning, Birdland!
Did you realize that the GM Meetings were taking place this week? It’s understandable. After all, not much occurs during these meetings that makes immediate news. Free agency has not begun, so no deals can be struck. Trades of players already under contract could be worked out, but that is a lot to ask when many teams are awaiting decisions on contract options.
Instead, it is said to be a time when front offices and player agents all get a feel for the landscape. They also, apparently, stop and talk to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.
