MLB Rumors: Trade Market Stalls, Giants Lurk, and Free Agents Still Waiting

The snow cleared — but the MLB market is still moving slowly.

On this episode of The Baseball Insiders, Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray check in on the trade and free-agent landscape after a quiet winter storm weekend, including why Brendan Donovan now looks unlikely to move, what to make of Giants–Nationals rumblings around CJ Abrams, and whether San Francisco still has another move lined up.

Plus, the latest on the mid-tier free agent pitching market, including Lucas Giolito buzz with the Tigers, and which notable free agent could be waiting all the way until Spring Training to sign.
