No player enters free agency hoping to sign in January. No team wants to let half the winter go by with significant needs unfilled.
But here we are in the new year. Free agents remain unsigned. Deals that had to be made remain undone.
And Jose Bautista wonders where it all went wrong. Or maybe he doesn't.
If Edwin Encarnacion waited forever before landing with the Cleveland Indians on a three-year, $60 million deal, Bautista has waited forever and two weeks to find his next employer. The Minnesota Twins have waited forever to get a Brian Dozier trade done. The New York Mets still have too many outfielders, and the Atlanta Braves still haven't improved behind the plate.
Oh, and after trading Chris Sale and Adam Eaton in two much-praised deals, the Chicago White Sox have gone nearly a month without more rebuilding.
There's plenty still to do as we wait for Hall of Fame voting results and the start of spring training.
Reporting day is just six weeks away. Now these guys just need to know where to report.
We're here to help, with Bleacher Report's predictions for where the top remaining winter targets will land.
