Part 6/9:
An interesting discussion has emerged around the concept of having an offseason trade deadline coinciding with the winter meetings. While such a move could invigorate the market, the implementation of a free agent signing deadline appears unlikely. Major League Baseball's reluctance to impose such restrictions stems from concerns about player agency and representation.
Notably, the impact of this idea would likely create a flurry of activity during the offseason, contrasting with the current slower pace. However, due to union resistance, it remains a fantasy rather than a forthcoming reality.
