"Winter Meetings Underway: Players, agents, and executives alike arrived in Orlando last night for this year's Winter Meetings, which officially kick off today and run through this coming Thursday. Even before the meetings began, there was significant movement around the league. The big news of this weekend was a trade between the Mariners and Nationals that saw top prospect head to D.C. in exchange for ground balling lefty Jose A. Ferrer."
"That four-year offer is expected to be worth more than $100MM, and comes from an unusual place: Pittsburgh. Pirates brass have frequently indicated this winter that they have more resources at their disposal than usual, but a nine-figure deal for Schwarber would be a massive departure from the franchise's previous comfort zone; they've never signed a free agent to a guarantee of $40MM in the past."
Winter Meetings are taking place in Orlando with players, agents, and executives present; the meetings run through Thursday and have already produced significant roster movement. The marquee transaction this weekend sent a top prospect from the Mariners to the Nationals in exchange for ground‑ball lefty Jose A. Ferrer, and additional trades and transactions are expected during the meetings. Kyle Schwarber has received at least one four-year offer worth over $100 million, unexpectedly from the Pittsburgh Pirates, marking a potential nine-figure departure for that franchise. Multiple teams are pursuing Schwarber, and several clubs are monitoring Ketel Marte despite the Diamondbacks' reluctance to trade him.
