Major League Baseball's winter meetings have come and gone with plenty of players, both free agents and not, finding new homes during the four-day stretch.
But the offseason could have more twists and turns awaiting before pitchers and catchers report for spring training in February.
Here is the latest on three big names who have been rumored to be on the trade market recently.
Andrew McCutchen
One of the biggest names rumored to be available during the winter meetings, Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen, hasn't moved yet.
It was rumored at the beginning of December that the Pirates were discussing a potential trade with the Washington Nationals, per Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
However, Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball reported a deal could not be reached, which has left the Pirates searching elsewhere for a suitable offer.
According to Heyman, Pittsburgh received a "nice offer of prospects" from a "mystery team." But the Pirates are looking for players who are ready to compete in the majors in 2017 and turned it down.
It's a dangerous philosophy, considering McCutchen's sudden drop in production over the past few seasons.
The 2013 NL MVP batted .256 with a .336 on-base percentage and .430 slugging percentage last season, all of which were career worsts.
Having turned 30 years old in October, McCutchen may not bring back an impressive haul for Pittsburgh, as teams might believe his struggles will continue into 2017.
If the Pirates are patient and McCutchen puts together a solid first half in 2017, however, they could find it easier to deal him closer to the trade deadline.
Brian Dozier
Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier developed into a solid hitter through his first four years in the majors, but 2016 saw the 29-year-old record one of the best seasons at his position in American League history.
His 42 home runs were the most by a second baseman in AL history, per Baseball-Reference.com, and he also posted career highs with 99 RBI and an .886 OPS.
While he won't be a free agent until 2019, Dozier has become an attractive option for the Los Angeles Dodgers, per ESPN.com's Doug Padilla.
This comes after Los Angeles re-signed closer Kenley Jansen to a five-year, $80 million deal and third baseman Justin Turner to a four-year, $64 million contract, per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com—increasing the team's payroll considerably.
Dozier is owed $15 million over the next two seasons before he hits free agency, per Spotrac.
But the Dodgers could have problems at the position after dealing Howie Kendrick to the Philadelphia Phillies. Chase Utley is also a free agent, but even if he returns, it's risky to assume he can produce as the team's full-time starting second baseman.
Utley, who will turn 38 on Saturday, batted just .252 with 14 home runs and 52 RBI in 2016.
Padilla noted the Dodgers would have to send a package centering around someone such as pitcher Jose De Leon—Los Angeles' No. 2 prospect, according to MLB.com. However, Alex Tekip of ESPN.com added that the Dodgers would be "reluctant to part with" him, which could make acquiring Dozier all but impossible.
Brett Gardner
The New York Yankees look like they still want to add some pitching help despite getting Aroldis Chapman back during the winter meetings.
A swollen payroll that is near $210 million could be a problem though, considering that team owner Hal Steinbrenner wants to see that number decrease to $197 million by 2018, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
Sherman added that the Yankees are interested in adding a free-agent reliever such as Boone Logan and Brad Ziegler to provide some support for Chapman and setup man Dellin Betances.
In an attempt to cut some of that salary, the Yankees have been floating veteran left fielder Brett Gardner's name, per Sherman.
The 33-year-old is owed $23 million over the final two years of his contract, according to Spotrac, and his departure could provide some financial relief for New York to mount a serious bid for either Logan or Ziegler.
A speedy presence who has carved his niche at the top of the Yankees lineup for the past nine years, Gardner could be an effective table-setter for a team that has some big bats but little support for them.
