As we careen toward the MLB Winter Meetings next week, we should start to see more free agent signings and even some more trades going down as the offseason starts to kick into high gear. The Philadelphia Phillies still have yet to make a real move, with free agents J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber still unsigned.
One of the Phillies' top goals this winter is to re-sign the veteran backstop Realmuto. There is competition for the catcher, however, as he is by far the top free agent at the position. But as we learned on Thursday, at least one competitor has dropped out of the race when it was reported that the Texas Rangers won't be making a move for Realmuto.
