There are 90 minutes tonight to keep raging over the Red Sox not signing free agents during the Winter Meetings. Confusion arises where if the reports say the Sox loved Kyle Schwarber, then why wasn't there an offer given to him?! Then, between that and the uncompetitive Pete Alonso offer, you have to go back to JD Martinez to find the last big name player the Sox targeted for a long time and eventually signed. Those days appear to be long gone now. And, some thoughts on how the Bills have changed since losing to the Patriots at home and how desperate they will be this Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
The Padres didn't make many moves during the Winter Meetings, but they did make tons of noise. Is A.J. Preller cooking up another blockbuster deal? What players would even be involved to make such a thing possible? Should Fernando Tatis Jr. be untouchable? Is Mason Miller on the block? And would that just be a way to get out of a bad contract? The Padres don't plan on moving a top reliever to the rotation, but might they move some to fill needs? The Mets had a rough week, could they look to San Diego for some star power? Suddenly there are some very interesting possibilities - the guys discuss on the 400th episode of On Friar!
With the Winter Meetings now in the rearview mirror, it was fitting that the week's first Schwarbomb was, well, Kyle Schwarber reupping with the Phillies, kickstarting a spate of moves. That was one of Mark Feinsand's 4 big takeaways from Orlando.
