The baseball universe has descended on sunny Boca Raton, Florida, for the annual general manager meetings and official start of the hot stove league. Agents, general managers and, quite likely, a smattering of players are making the rounds and laying the groundwork for deals down the road.
While none of these talks revolve around landing a condo at the exclusive Del Boca Vista, the chatter coming out of Florida has been focused on pitching—including a number of high-profile, All-Star-caliber arms—which is a bit surprising when you consider how deep the free-agent pitching market is.
Keep in mind these proposed deals are only ideas and pure speculation. Unless otherwise noted, there’s no indication any of them have actually been discussed.
