If you’re starting to get bored with the offseason, fear not. The Winter Meetings are almost here.
The annual poorly entitled (it’s still fall, folks) GM swap meet will start this coming Sunday in sunny San Diego (the least wintery place in America). Baseball is flush with cash. And confidence since the new CBA was ratified last spring. There’s labor peace. For now, at least. The league reaped the monetary benefits of a new playoff system and the television contracts that come with it. Yes, the global economy might be in a bit of a hiccup, but baseball’s finances look relatively strong.
