Baron Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) 30 minutes ago, bmags said: I think the process isn't a hibernation, NFL between May and Training camp isn't particularly interesting, rather we don't get that big burst of activity that makes the hibernation worth it. While you'd think everything happening in a few days would be worse to keep interest, it instead creates the big anticipation, the owning of a one-week news cycle, and then the post-discussion and prep for the season. Baseball sucks because sometimes its spring training, you've discussed the same move ad nauseum, but still no guarantee on it. The big burst works alot better for the other sports. Hell even Hockey has a good week of nonstop free agency. This sport could use a good week of dominating the news cycle. I don't think it helps anyone who's trying to make money on this league having little blips on the radar when the signings actually do happen. By the time some of these free agent signings happen the NFL Playoffs are on. Or your at the NBA/NHL Trade Deadline. Big anticipation for the very very involved baseball fans sure. For everyone else it's Ohtani. They are lucky he's a free agent. For us maybe Cease will be traded by February 1st. Sorry you don't like it when I bring up some changes a dwindling sport needs to bring. Day 1 of the Winter Meetings has been exhilarating.

I was saying I don't think it's the fact that nothing happens for a few months, it's that nothing happens AND there is no big bang of activity like first day of free agency for NFL/NBA/NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I could see them wanting to hold onto Kjerstad and instead wanting to move one of the 1-2 year control guys (Mullins, Santander, Hays) for prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
