Every year at the onset of the MLB Offseason, ESPN's Jeff Passan, one of the best writers and reporters in all of sports, not just baseball, puts out his annual 'MLB Offseason Preview,' where he runs through a bunch of different topics and usually has at least one nugget about every single team in the big leagues. While he put this out almost 2 weeks ago, it slightly flew under the radar here at District on Deck, so I decided to pounce on it now before the Hot Stove gets too heated.
For someone like Passan, who is about as well-connected as anyone in the sport with teams and front offices around the league, it is almost like his chance to show off his connections and the leaks and tidbits he gets that he is permitted to share, but they often turn out to be pretty credible.
