It\u2019s likely to be a slow week in what\u2019s felt like a slow offseason, though I think this makes it a good time to reflect on what\u2019s actually happened. Even if things seem like they\u2019re moving glacially, more than half of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlbtraderumors.com\/2025\/11\/2025-26-top-50-mlb-free-agents-with-predictions.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:MLB Trade Rumors Top 50;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">MLB Trade Rumors Top 50<\/a> free agents have signed, with 14 of the top 25 having put pen to paper, lest you think that figure is propped up a bunch of by low-end free agents. And even in Yankee universe, where we\u2019re all going a little stir crazy waiting for New York to make a big splash, things have moved along at a steady (if deliberate) pace. The Yankees\u2019 haul so far only really consists of players they\u2019ve re-signed, but it shouldn\u2019t be discounted that they have signed Trent Grisham, Amed Rosario, Ryan Yarbrough, and Paul Blackburn while picking up Tim Hill\u2019s team option. With the exception of the spend-happy Blue Jays, I\u2019d argue the Yankees have been roughly as active as any other team in the AL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On the site today, we\u2019ll have our latest in our Free Agency series, as Jeff looks at the signing of Phil Niekro, while Jeremy airs some grievances. Also, Sam takes a gander at Tyler Mahle as an under-the-radar pitching addition, and Peter analyzes a very intriguing, if unlikely, trade target in Hunter Greene.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Questions\/Prompts:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">1.
