Just because a season ends, whenever it ends, doesn’t mean the baseball beat writer is done traveling for the year.
There are always two big off-season events that require coverage — the general managers meetings and the winter meetings.
Both will be held this year in Orlando, Fla., with the GMs meeting Nov. 13-16 and the baseball world converging Dec. 10-14.
Those two dates are especially relevant for the Texas Rangers in light of their weekend series at Oakland Coliseum. The Rangers will be free to travel after their game Oct. 1, next Sunday.
