Baseball held their annual Winter Meetings in Indianapolis over the past three days which are always interesting to the Hot Stove crowd. This year’s edition featured a blockbuster trade and a few free agent signings, plus just enough rumors to make us all want baseball to come back.
Let’s review.
The Yankees acquired Curtis Granderson, the D’Backs acquired Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy , and the Tigers acquired Max Scherzer, Daniel Schlereth, Phil Coke and Austin Jackson in a three team trade.
The World Series Champs made their team even stronger by acquiring the speedy lefty Granderson to man center field for the next few years. Granderson mashed 30 homers last year in Detroit, so there’s no telling what number he’ll reach at the new Yankee Stadium. Than lineup is actually scarier now than it was last year.
