The winter meetings start today and run through the rule 5 draft on Thursday. Discuss all the blockbuster action here. Also Fangraphs has released the ZiPS projections for the 2016 Jays.

To start the winter meetings it seems as though Aroldis Chapman is on his way to the Dodgers for a couple of minor leaguers.

Also Mark Lowe has signed a two year deal with Detroit.

The Jays will be on the hunt for relievers in Nashville. Recalling how relief pitchers show a lot of variability from year to year, the Jays should be looking to sign some pitchers who had down years in 2015.


ZiPS likes the Jays offense but doesn't like the pitching. That is not a surprise. ZiPS prefers Andy Burns to Ryan Goins at second base, assuming Burns survives the rule 5 draft this week.

Here is the link to the ZiPS projections.
