To say MLB's offseason moves slow is an understatement. It's hard to use the words "MLB offseason" and "move" in the same sentence. The NBA does not have this problem. Its offseason is the anti-MLB offseason. Signings and trades are agreed upon before it even begins (imagine that) and the majority of major transactions take place almost immediately. Stars demand trades. Teams acquiesce. The world reacts.
So if only for a moment, imagine the MLB offseason operating like the NBA's. How would signings and trades and rumors transpire? SI's MLB staff has some ideas...
