The Winter Meetings. Rumors and more rumors. Tweets, texts, posts, and TV updates. Back-slapping, guffaws, plenty of cologne, and more than the occasional malocchio. Oh, and maybe a drink or three. Grown ass men acting like children, only with millions of dollars at stake.
No better place to follow the action than Hardball Talk.
Let the mishegoss begin.
Update: First bit of business has Jose Reyes bringing his talents to South Beach.
Jose Reyes to the Fish, 6/$106. He's still only 28..I like the deal. Reyes and Hanley a nice 1-2 punch for sure.
[1] Not Carl Crawford money, but the years with his injury history are kinda scary. I think the Mutts had no legit chance to bring him back, and if that's what it took then they shouldn't cry over it. Reyes goes from Hot Mess to Hot Town and the Mutts should be content to be the A's for the next two-plus seasons and stockpile high prospects in the meantime.
