Thanksgiving is over and now it’s officially time to move on to celebrating the December holidays as we wrap up 2024. It’s also nearly time to wrap up our Ranking the Rockies series, with the final two to be revealed next week.
The hot stove is also starting to pick up, but the Winter Meetings start Monday which should hopefully move things along (we’re all still waiting for the Juan Soto Sweepstakes to end likely in Dodger Blue). We already know that the Rockies are out on him, but you never know who else they might pick up!
That all said, here’s what our writers have been up to this week:
