After a calm Day 1 of the Winter Meetings, where rumors dominated the headlines as opposed to actual transactions, Day 2 was different story almost immediately.
Before the clock struck noon on Tuesday, two of the bigger free agent names came off the board. First it was the Philadelphia Phillies locking up their DH and MVP finalist last season in Kyle Schwarber to a brand new five-year, $150 million contract. Then just minutes later, the news of Edwin Díaz signing with the Dodgers on a three-year, $69 million deal dropped.
Now, while the Royals could use relief pitching, Díaz seemed like more than they needed and thus doesn't have a terrible amount of bearing on Kansas City's offseason plans.
