It’s just that time. Things are moving like pond water. Snails pace.
It’s the holidays. Mothers and women are getting set for Xmas, in laws, relatives, travel, weather, gift buying, cooking, entertaining, and now you tell them they are moving to a new city. That’s right- stress city.
Even the Cardinals org is going thru Xmas activities. People missing. Parties.
Wouldn’t it be easier to have most deals in place and then finalize after the holidays. Most teams won’t have but 1-3 trades or signings, plenty of time.
From my experience at a high level, most important transactions did not occur from 18 Dec- 4 Jan.
Just my way of thinking why things are slow. I bet the market sizzles after 4 January.
Whats your name? Who’s your daddy?
Thoughts.
MLB needs to find a way to incentivize moves/deals before Thanksgiving and before Christmas. Maybe throw in a deadline of sorts and/or shift the draft lottery to dominated the holiday discussions in favor of Baseball.
Why does baseball need to oncentivize moves before Christmas or Thanksgiving?
Ridiculous
have a cup. Baseball is in need of serious public relations. In a dead space where fans are still rabid over trades, they could make a bigger deal for deals, and put the sport more in the public’s eye. Anything would be an incentive to the industry.
Keeps interest longer over the offseason till spring training vs getting it all done by Christmas.
Instant gratification culture shouldn't be encouraged.
Weird, because the exact opposite is happening in society.
Malls and Brick-&-Mortars are losing to online commerce.
Streaming is killing Cable.
MLB is falling behind the other sports in popularity because they haven’t adapted to society’s demands
Because baseball is boring to the instant gratification culture.
How would you bridge that gap.
No need. That simple. Baseball isn't everyone's cup of tea. They sped the game up, enticed more movement and action on the field.
Offseason is off-season.
Same for all major sports leagues....moves are made when moved are made

Your position is baseball is fine references public relations and existing deadlines. Not broke don’t fix. Let sleeping dogs lie, sort of deal.

I think the offseason is fine and doesn't need some ambiguous holiday deadline push
