Here we are, the week after Thanksgiving and before the Winter Meetings, and very little has happened not just for the Cubs, but for all of MLB. I think we don’t have to officially freak out until after the Winter Meetings have concluded, or maybe not even until Spring Training since the rhymes-with-schmollusion is delaying free agent deals in recent memory, but as fans, this is rather frustrating. Anyway, let’s look at the major league signings we do know about.
- Joc Pederson (Giants) and Martín Pérez (Rangers) accepted the qualifying offer and thus remained with their original teams, so obviously they’re off the board.
