Even though the consensus top three free agents are still floating around out there (Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, Alex Bregman), a number of the bigger names on the market have slowly come off of the board. Kyle Schwarber went back to the Phillies, Pete Alonso went to the Orioles, Edwin Díaz came to the Dodgers.
The trade market has been far more underwhelming. Insiders were convinced that a Ketel Marte trade was imminent a few weeks ago, and he's stayed put. Tarik Skubal is still a Tiger, Brendan Donovan is still a Cardinal, Jarren Duran is still a Red Sox.
