THE HOT CORNER
Some teams got fresh coal for their hot stove yesterday. Other teams got fresh coal for their holiday stockings.
There are lots of angles to riff off of with the Yasmani Grandal signing. Mine is the temptation to start score keeping to line up winter winners and losers (and...OK...so I take some shots below...), but mostly I will restrain myself.
Instead, here, let’s consider that so far we have some hope that this will not be yet another offseason full of conspiracy theories and writer frustration. In the last 10 days we have had 3 decent signings, with $126 million committed.
