I haven't been writing a lot about baseball lately. Mostly because, well, there hasn't been much going on worth writing about.

Things have been amazingly quiet. No major free agent signings. Not even many publicized offers, other than the Yankees $140 million deal to C.C. Sabathia. Given the fact that the big guy hasn't accepted what amounts to the largest contract ever signed by a pitcher, you have to think that he just doesn't have a lot of interest in playing in the Bronx.

Other than that, nothing much is happening. No word on Teixiera, A.J. Burnett, Manny or any of the other big name free agents. The biggest thing the Sox have done is try to sign Japanese free agent Junichi Tazawa. Tazawa is projected to start the year in Portland, most likely, so it's not exactly huge news.

So we wait. The Winter Meetings start in about a week and a half, so maybe something will happen then.
