Winter Meetings Time

Contributed by: John Northey

The old thread is getting a bit long so time for a new one, plus the winter meetings start tomorrow so a perfect excuse too!

MLB has a summary of key needs for each team - it will come to no shock that they list starting pitching as the Jays key need.

The schedule of events shows the event is at Hilton San Diego Bayfront from December 8th to 12th.

Main things are....

Modern Era Hall of Fame class announced: Dwight Evans, Steve Garvey, Tommy John, Don Mattingly, Marvin Miller, Thurman Munson, Dale Murphy, Dave Parker, Ted Simmons, and Lou Whitaker to be voted on tomorrow. C'mon sweet Lou.
Rule 5 draft - occurs on Thursday December 8th <edit - it is the 12th...I knew it but typed in the wrong thing>
Free agents galore and trade talk up the wazoo.

Always interesting, hopefully the Jays do something interesting and good during it this year.
