Chaos is unfolding throughout MLB as the offseason is in full go. Everywhere you look a team is either closing a deal or talking about their anticipation to close a deal. The big name free agents have consumed the attention thus far, and with the majority of them having yet to sign, it’s unlikely that will change anytime soon.
However the winter meetings are just around the corner. All of the mastermind General Managers will come together on the week of December 4th to discuss the well being of their respected teams.
Three GMs that should earn their fair share of attention are those of the Tampa Bay Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, and Chicago White Sox. Why do they demand such attention? Because each represent a truly desired corresponding player–Evan Longoria, Ryan Braun, and Chris Sale.
Deservedly so, Chris Sale has been the focal point of the trade market for roughly two years now. The other two, however, have flown under the radar, mainly due to their team’s lack of success. All three should command the trade market. Teams around the league should be salivating over them, and their current teams need to understand it’s time to let go.
The Rays, Brewers and White Sox are admittedly listening to offers…who’s interested?
