"This might be the worst stretch of the year for sports fans, particularly those dealing with sub-zero temperatures and snow up to their knees. College football is done, the NFL is on a two-week hiatus, and we've still got a little longer than that before pitchers and catchers report. With all due respect to college basketball, things are terribly slow right now."
"Zac Gallen remains unsigned despite reports of interest from the Cubs, though I maintain those were more about trying to juice his market. Future Hall of Famers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander have indicated that they'd like to keep playing, and both will probably bide their time waiting for the right opportunity. Other viable starters include Lucas Giolito, Chris Bassitt, José Quintana, Aaron Civale, and Nick Martinez, all of whom might have to end up settling for pillow deals of some sort."
Sports are in a slow stretch with college football finished, the NFL on hiatus, and spring training still weeks away. Numerous notable starting pitchers remain free agents, led by Framber Valdez, while Zac Gallen remains unsigned despite reported interest. Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander have expressed willingness to continue playing but may wait for the right opportunity. Other available starters include Lucas Giolito, Chris Bassitt, José Quintana, Aaron Civale, and Nick Martinez, who may accept short-term deals. The Padres could need an arm if Yu Darvish pursues contract termination, and Darvish clarified that he has not yet decided to retire.
