For MLB fans, Christmas comes a little early. The Winter Meetings kicked off on Sunday night, which is the biggest gathering of all the front office executives in baseball. But there are two former Tar Heels who have gone in different directions over the last couple of seasons, and now find themselves looking for a fresh start.

If you follow North Carolina baseball, or MLB baseball, Matt Harvey is almost a household name. In 2015, Harvey helped pitch the New York Mets into the World Series.

He also finished in the top-5 of Cy Young voting in 2013 before having Tommy John surgery in 2014.
