Just seems to be a lot of speculation that something big is happening from a ton of accounts I follow, they're probably all foodie burner accounts to be honest. 

I haven’t seen much, but my corner of WST makes no claims to know anything, we’re just jaded AF.

Jerry is going to read Bob the riot act after Smithers hands him Bob’s article tomorrow morning.

And if a team like the Padres, who play in the 27th-largest market in the country, can be willing to have a payroll exceeding $250 million, hey, no excuses for anyone else, right?

The good news is spring training isn’t for 10 weeks. Most teams are in the same position as the Sox as far as acquiring players for 2023. s%*# may happen tonight or tomorrow. Certainly the next three weeks will be active for everyone. Let’s see what the roster looks like on 1/1/23 compared to the rest of the league.

Aside from the Cubs, Giants, and Phillies, the winter meetings have been pretty quiet.  No major trades.  A few big signings on Monday (that were probably already in agreement before the meetings started).  Hopefully the Sox have been laying some groundwork for a trade or two.  There's no way this team can go into spring training without some substantial upgrades and expect to compete.

2 of the top 3 free agents and a whole bunch of mid level guys signed this week.  Besides teams that got signings done, you also had teams like the Giants and Padres who were clearly making strong offers for guys. Plenty of activity for the year.
