Employees from teams are probably headed back to work this coming week, readjusting to life in the workspace post holidays. Will that mean more moves incoming? We know that a few of the Japanese players
have to make a decision this weekend, so that might be what starts to move the markets.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Chase Utley is getting some strong returns in publicly available HOF ballots, so it’s a good time to review his candidacy.
MLB news:
- Kyle Tucker is still a free agent, so that means his market might start moving. The Mets are among those that have checked in on him ($).
- There was a trade! Woo hoo! Sure it was only the Twins acquiring Eric Wagaman from the Marlins, but it’s a trade.
- If Kona Takahashi doesn’t get a satisfactory offer from an MLB team, he’s probably heading back to Japan.
- Bold predictions for 2026? Don’t mind if I do.
