Torii Hunter signed early with the Tigers two years ago, and that was November 16.

 

I wouldn't expect anything major until the Winter Meetings (Dec 8-11)

Ok. Thank you

They will start right away. The bigger ones seems to gravitate around the winter meetings.

I wouldn't expect movement at midnight. It's not like the NFL or NHL.

Yes

 

Thanks.

GM Meetings start next Monday, is there usually any moves happening during this period? Or is it to get a feel for some FA's and what of own teams players are worth discussing with other teams?

 

Can someone help me out.

Yes. Stuff starts happening at this point as all of the teams are together in one place at the same time.

Yep a bunch of teams are meeting the top free agents. Maybe some resigns will take place and trades.

There are fewer than 110 days until the Spring Training opener.

 

yay

 

AKA "an entire miserable winter" until the Spring Training opener.

 

:'(

So today is the tender deadline for arbitration-eligible players.

This has me thinking about a baseball organization. There are summer and winter jobs, plus a few year round. Some of the staff spent the past 9 months preparing for these three months, others are using these three months to prepare for the following nine months.

Sox at Royals - 16 weeks

My first Sox game of 2015 - 15 weeks from this Friday

I went to the opener in Glendale last year on Feb 28th, was a glorious 75 degree partly cloudy afternoon. Had a lot of fun. Probably won't make it down this year but I encourage anyone that can to go down there, the weather is spectacular that time of year and Camelback Ranch is a nice place to watch a game.

100 days

White Sox pitchers and catchers report and work out on Feb. 20. Full squad reports and workout on February 24.

 

Full squad- 7 weeks away.
