MLB Free Agency

Johnny Cueto and Jose Fernandez are just two of the big league stars whose future has yet to be determined as the winter meetings recede into the background and the 2015-2016 MLB offseason rolls along.

In addition to Cueto, there are at least a couple of prominent players who are still waiting to hit the free-agent jackpot. Meanwhile, Fernandez isn't the only dynamic major leaguer who just can't seem to shake all those pesky trade rumors.

There was a report Thursday morning from Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area that free-agent outfielder Jason Heyward could sign by the end of the day, "or very soon."

So I guess we could wait to see where Heyward goes before we do winter meetings winners and losers. Or we could wait until Chris Davis signs. Or until Johnny Cueto signs. Or until the Cincinnati Reds make a trade that actually goes through.

Dominoes are starting to fall this Major League Baseball offseason at the winter meetings, opening the door for deals to come fast. 

As the final day of the MLB winter meetings rolls along in Nashville, Tennessee, keep it locked right here for all the latest updates from the Rule 5 draft, the trade market and the free-agent front.

Surprisingly, the 2015 Major League Baseball winter meetings have yielded very little results on the free-agent market. There have been some deals, mostly involving relief pitchers, but everyone seems to be waiting for the one big shoe to drop. 

Ever wonder what goes on behind the closed doors of a salary negotiation for a top-flight free agent? What about how players evaluate potential suitors?

A flood of trades, signings and speculation headlined Day 1 of the 2015 MLB winter meetings, but for now, Aroldis Chapman remains a member of the Cincinnati Reds.

According to Tim Brown and Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, a proposed trade between the Reds and the Los Angeles Dodgers was "held up" following a report that Chapman was allegedly involved in a domestic incident in October.

The Detroit Tigers are officially out of the Alex Gordon sweepstakes, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Gordon Could Land Huge Contract

Monday, Dec. 7

Nightengale reported the 31-year-old, four-time Gold Glove winner is out of talks with Tigers GM Al Avila. He could have been a good fit in Motown considering Detroit has no proven left fielder for the time being.

For years, the New York Yankees won the winter the traditional way.

They bought it.

The 2015 MLB free-agent pitching class is rich. As in, loaded with talent.

Now, it's rich in another way. As in, drowning in dollars.
