Is the MLB free agent market cooling down or just taking a holiday breather? With Soto's mega-deal setting a new benchmark, are teams now hesitant to splurge, opting instead to explore the trade market? Or are they playing a strategic waiting game, hoping player demands soften closer to spring training? This slow period post-winter meetings has me wondering - could this lead to an unexpected flurry of last-minute signings, or are we about to witness a fundamental shift in how teams approach free agency? With over $2 billion already committed and big names still available, the final spending total could shatter projections. What are your predictions for the rest of the offseason? Which teams are you most surprised by so far, and what moves do you think are still to come?
