This figures to be a pretty slow period as we head into Thanksgiving and the dust settles from all the procedural moves last week. As such, we’re left with little other than rumors and speculation for the next few days. Jed Hoyer spoke of the trade market heating up after everyone recovers from their tryptophan hangovers, so here’s to hoping there’ll be some actual news before December gets here.
In the meantime, we’ll just keep obsessing over the Shohei Ohtani saga and whether the Cubs are really a factor in it. Bruce Levine said on Saturday morning that his sources believe it’ll come down to the Cubs and Dodgers, a possibility that may have grown at least mildly stronger with the reported elimination of another potential suitor.
