Obviously, all of you have read John Trupin’s fantastic piece on the acquisition of Dan Wilson. Obviously.

Dexter Fowler rejected his qualifying offer and is now a free agent. Now, we can all wait and trickle in as articles dictating why Team A should not sign Fowler and Team B should will populate the blogosphere for weeks.

A Seager was the unanimous Rookie of the Year. Corey Seager ran the table, becoming the third unanimous ROY for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Seager, of course, had a fantastic year, and without Kris Bryant would have a credible claim to being named NL MVP as well.

Speaking of the Mets, Yoenis Cespedes seems like a cool guy to have on your team. Unfortunately, he is going to cost your team a healthy chunk of change this offseason. MLB.com also says there is a good chance the outfielder’s contract will dictate the market price this offseason.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson partnered with the Seattle Arena Group to help bring a basketball team back to the area. Combined with the now 100 percent funded stadium, this is really starting to seem less of an “if” and more of a “when” scenario.
