The only baseball preview you need this season
The doldrums endured in the harsh winter months by baseball fans were hardly warmed by a Hot Stove this offseason. This free agent market was closer in consistency to collusion-riddled molasses than the quick flowing open-market that us baseball fans are accustomed to following.
In baseball, the season for hope to spring anew is not springtime but winter, when the shackles of a team’s record the previous year are consigned to the history books, and everyone has the same win-loss of 0-0. Championships are won during these winter meetings, when GM’s confer with hungry agents to bring in elite talent at a fairly high cost.
