Ah! The Winter Meetings are here! And things are happening! You better catch yourself up quick on the HUGE news from the weekend so you don’t feel lost today …

Friday, December 8

• Notes on the Cubs’ Tyler Chatwood signing, including even more reasons to dig the deal.
• Kyle Schwarber is aiming to be in the best shape of his life, and it’s something he talked about with the front office.
• And Jason Heyward is aiming to get that swing back in shape. Again. He’s already working in Arizona, and you can see what’s what.
• The big news on Friday was also the sad news on Friday: Shohei Ohtani picked the Angels.
• On a lighter note, remember that time when Michael Jordan threw a pitch way over Sammy Sosa’s head?
• The post-Ohtani Lukewarm Stove reset the stage.
• Friday night was crazy on the Giancarlo Stanton front, with the Cardinals announcing they were out after Stanton had rejected a trade, and the Giants following suit. And then the Yankees suddenly leapt in with advanced talks.

• It finally happened – Giancarlo Stanton was traded to the Yankees, with Starlin Castro among the players going the other way.
• Among Saturday’s Bullets, the blazing hot stove, talk about structure of contracts, and more.
• The Rule 5 Draft is coming this week, so here’s an early primer.
• What’s that? The obligatory Cubs-Chris Archer connection? But of course!
