The weather outside may not be winter-like for some, but Christmas typically brings with it a cooling off for the Hot Stove League. This year is no exception, as the rumor mill has gradually slowed to a crawl over the past week as the baseball universe makes its final holiday preparations.
For a day, at least, the business of baseball takes a back seat to the business of family.
But that's not to say that there's nothing to talk about, however. Conversations between representatives of free agents and general managers continue, while seemingly never-ending trade talks between clubs rolls along in the form of email and text messages—between sips of egg nog, that is.
Have negotiations between a longtime clubhouse fixture and his former club reached the point of no return? Can a team ever have enough pitching depth? Will one of the rumor mill's longest tenants finally find his way out of the endless loop of trade speculation?
We'll tackle all of that and more in this week's edition of Fact or Fiction.
