With just about three weeks to go before pitchers and catchers begin reporting to spring training, the baseball season draws ever closer. Yet a number of notable free agents remain unsigned, which—you'd think—would lead to a flurry of activity in the days ahead.
Yet the rumor mill has remained silent in regard to many of those players. Whether it's because teams are at their payroll limits or choosing to hold onto some disposable income for later, when injuries could require them to make a substantial addition, there's not much cash available for those free agents.
Could one of those free agents wind up taking a small-market deal with a small-market club? Does a contender value a catcher as highly as it does a front-of-the-rotation arm? Can a team find a taker for a high-priced veteran who is past his prime?
We'll tackle all of that and more in this week's edition of Fact or Fiction.
