MLB Bullets finds a little winter heat
Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty ImagesGood morning. We’ve sort of entered a lull in the baseball news as we enter the Christmas holidays. It also seems that the MLBPA doesn’t let general managers and coaches show up unannounced at the door of free agents on Christmas Eve like they used to in the days of Moneyball. (Note: Billy Beane did not show up at Scott Hatteberg’s door to sign him on Christmas of 2001. They actually had telephones back in 2001.)
The Nationals have agreed to a two-year deal with free agent pitcher Anibal Sanchez. The Nats should be careful and make sure that Sanchez is not just using them to get a better deal out of the TIgers.
