There are many reasons to believe we will see a flurry of moves in the coming days. One is that the three major posted free agents coming from Japan will see their respective posting windows close within about two weeks, with Munetaka Murakami’s closing this upcoming Monday. There is a preference to finish business up before Christmas from many teams, so that would leave this week as prime time for these three free agents to sign. In related news, Tatsuya Imai would make a lot of sense for Atlanta. From there, movement can spark other movement. Additionally, the top of the free agent classes have tended to sign overwhelmingly in December in recent years, but only Dylan Cease, Kyle Schwarber, and Pete Alonso of the expected $100 million+ free agents have signed anywhere as of yet. I am personally expecting a flurry of movement over the next couple days.
