This year’s winter meetings, while not nearly the whirlwind of blockbuster activity they were last year, gave us plenty to chew on through the new year.
A few notable teams have been clear offseason winners through this past week, and a few others have been virtually shut out despite carrying high expectations into the meetings. That is part of the reason there is so much left to dissect as the hot-stove season enters what could be a cool period before teams pick up their activity after Christmas.
From the Arizona Diamondbacks stunning the National League West to become the division favorite at this point to Jason Heyward leaving money on the table for a chance to be part of a potentially historic Chicago Cubs roster, this past week had everything required for a great drama.
And it all started with the trade that never happened.
