It’s Monday evening, which means the first day of the Winter Meetings is coming to a close (though we’re still monitoring those Chris Sale-Nationals rumors).
But boy was it a busy one.
Aside from the standalone rumors and reports (Shohei Otani, Kenley Jansen, Mark Melancon, Rich Hill, Tyson Ross, Ticket Price Increase, Wade Davis (Jorge Soler), and Aroldis Chapman) – yeah, those are all individual pieces from TODAY – we’ve also already had two other Winter Meetings Updates and a Cubs executives notes piece already!
So, yes, it’s been a busy day, but that doesn’t mean things are going to slow down tonight. Deals are often struck after hours at this event, so stay by your phones and computers, fellow nerds.

Sources: O's willing to discuss 4-year deal w/Trumbo in the range of $52m-$55m; counter was $75m-$80m, w/ full no-trade. So it stalled.

Sources: Rangers have shown interest in Mark Trumbo. Just how strong it is remains to be seen, but Texas is looking for a right-handed bat.
