Outfielder Matt Joyce found a new home Wednesday, as he signed a two-year, $11 million contract with the Oakland Athletics. 

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports was the first to report the deal, which is pending a physical. Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball confirmed the report.

Slowly but surely the free-agent dominoes are beginning to fall around Major League Baseball. It should make for an intriguing December as the marquee names still available make their decisions about where to play in 2017 and beyond.

As always, there are some eye-popping numbers being thrown around during the early stages of the offseason. But that's all part of the roster-building process. Sometimes front offices are forced to overpay a bit in order to fill a void on their roster with a coveted target.

Major League Baseball's hot-stove season is supposed to be heating up, but unfortunately, the looming specter of a lockout if a new collective bargaining agreement can't be reached before the current one expires on December 1 has given the offseason a sense of dread. 

With the winter meetings set to kick off next week (barring a work stoppage) and myriad action already taking place this offseason, the MLB offseason is undoubtedly in full swing with the month of December now just around the corner.

They were two of the biggest stars in baseball, and the Detroit Tigers ensured they didn't get away.

"I want to finish my career here," Miguel Cabrera told reporters when he signed an eight-year, $248 million deal in the spring of 2014.

There hasn't been much action in the first month of the 2016-2017 Major League Baseball offseason. Everyone's been busy tip-toeing around the rather large elephant in the room.

Nonetheless, the time has come for a routine stock-taking. Let us now discuss the winners and losers of the hot stove season so far.

The Chicago Cubs are the team to beat in the National League. That was true before they busted their 108-year championship drought and it's certainly true now.

Here's the thing about being the team to beat, though: Everyone wants to beat you.

Like, say, the Washington Nationals.

Dexter Fowler put together an All-Star-caliber season with the Chicago Cubs throughout 2016, and at least one American League team has already expressed strong interest in bringing the free-agent center fielder aboard.
