Kyyle23 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 6, 2012 -> 08:44 AM) Has there ever been a Winter Meetings with so few trades? It seems like every year for the past 5 years it has gradually gotten less and less. I think social media/cell phones/etc has made the winter meetings more of a formality than a necessity. Who needs to get in a room with another GM to work out a deal when he can skype/facetime/teleconference with him at any moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably just delay the free agent action a week. I do agree the free agents are holding up trades. I just wish there was a way they could get the major guys out of the way before the winter meetings began. I think it would make a real nice offseason event for MLB, but with contracts what they are, and only going higher, it probably will never happen. Also, the days of baseball trades with contracts not playing the leading role for either side, are probably over as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
