Major League Baseball fans, specifically those who love hot-stove action, probably aren't enjoying the lockout's impact on the offseason. There was a thrilling flurry of free-agent signings just before the work stoppage, but the market has been necessarily silent for more than two weeks now.
Teams have been able to make minor league deals, so there has at least been something to follow in recent days. The Philadelphia Phillies, for example, recently added six pitchers on minor league contracts.
Fans looking to see notable names on the move, though. have to wait until the work stoppage is over.
