Baseball's off-season has been eerily quiet. Yes, there have been tiny ripples of action surrounding free-agent pitcher CC Sabathia, who was lectured by the New York Yankees for not jumping all over their $140m six-year contract offer, cheap new york giants jerseys choosing instead to bide his time and flirt with other teams in his preferred west coast locales.

It could all begin next week, but keep in mind that movement at these meetings is not a given.
