Good morning, Birdland!
This offseason is shaping up to be the weirdest in recent memory. The CBA negotiations are looming over everything. It feels like the entire industry is just about certain the month of December, at least, is going to be off limits to getting business done, and that means the hot stove is gonna need to get up to temperature real quick before it hibernates for the holidays and beyond. This metaphor is getting mixed, but you understand.
GM’s wrapped up their annual meetings this week, and little actual news has emerged. But there was a feeling afterwards that teams are ready to make big moves and fast.
