The Winter Meetings extend into tomorrow, with the Rule 5 Draft at 8am CT as the central event. In a typical year, the bulk of the transaction activity takes place in the first three days of the meetings, but, hey, this year hasn’t been typical. So maybe we’ll see more action tomorrow than usual.
In the meantime, here’s what’s going down to wrap up your Wednesday night …

Nats aren’t sure they have the money for Arrieta so they’re looking at trades first. Archer, Odorizzi are on their radar. Greinke may be too. Remember, Nats gm Mike Rizzo once agreed to trade for Greinke (Zack invoked no-trade that time)

Many teams checking on #Reds' Billy Hamilton & Adam Duvall. #BlueJays, casting wide net in their search for OF, are believed to be among them (@JaysJournal mentioned Duvall).

#RedSox were in on Ozuna. But they didn't match up pitching prospect wise, Dombrowski said.

The #MNTwins have inquired about former Cubs closer Hector Rondon. But sounds like he's inching close to a deal with another team. pic.twitter.com/BJ547v6H7h

The Nationals have expressed interest in former Cubs right-handed Hector Rondon this week, per source. They aren’t considered favorites to land him, but having Dave Martinez and Henry Blanco on staff helps.
