"Well the NBP posted players all seem to be settled now, with Imai and Okamoto having signed with an MLB club and Takahashi returning to the NBP. Those players do not seem to have sparked movement in the overall market, either in free agency or in trades, at least so far, as this offseason continues to be glacial. Hopefully things pick up a bit as we get more separation from the holidays."
"The Braves still seem to be motivated to make a big addition, but this front office has shown that the right deal has to be there for them to pull the trigger. Kona Takahashi will reportedly forgo signing a deal with an MLB club and will instead return to the NBP and will pursue his options in MLB in future years. The Phillies are reportedly interested in signing Bo Bichette, as they join a list of big-spenders after the young infielder."
NBP-posted player situations are largely resolved, with Imai and Okamoto signing with MLB clubs and Kona Takahashi opting to return to the NBP while preserving future MLB options. Those transactions have not yet generated broader movement in free agency or trade markets, and overall offseason activity remains glacial so far. The Braves continue to appear motivated to add a significant piece but have shown they will only act for the right deal. The Phillies have joined other big spenders in expressing interest in Bo Bichette. Activity may pick up as the calendar moves away from the holidays.
