On the heels of a notable , here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world today: 1. Soto beginning to take offers? The early part of the offseason has been littered with reports about teams meeting with or planning to meet with superstar outfielder . The , , , and are all known to have met with Soto at this point. The were reportedly planning to meet with the slugger as well. Other teams, including the Giants and Royals, are known to have at least checked in on Soto, but the stars free agent proce s is seemingly moving past the introductory stage Andre Roberson Jersey as a report yesterday teams are expected to start making offers this week. Given that Sotos contract is widely expected to mark a new record in terms of net-present value, the coming stage of the proce s could quickly weed out teams that were remaining involved in hopes that Sotos market would prove softer than some of the sky-high numbers thrown around so far. Could things begin to progre s quickly for Soto once he begins receiving offers? 2. Non-tendered players enter the free agent pool: Friday night saw a number of interesting players enter the free agent pool after being non-tendered by their clubs. These players generally occupy the lower tiers of free agency, as teams with substantial interest in them at their arbitration price point could have just traded for them in the days leading up to their non-tender. That said, interesting players such as , , and have found themselves in the non-tender pile in recent years.

Whats next for the Royals following the India trade? Over the weekend, the Royals and Reds got together on a previously-rumored trade that sent to Cincinnati in exchange for and . Wiemers fit in Kansas City as a short-side platoon partner for center fielder is a fairly straightforward one, but the acquisition of India is a bit more complicated. India is seemingly poised to play everyday as a potential leadoff option for the club ahead of and , but it remains to be seen how the clubs defensive alignment will shake out now that both India and incumbent second baseman are in the mix. Both India and Ma sey have played second base almost exclusively in the majors, but India came up as a third baseman and both players could surely handle either left field. Is a position change in the cards for either player headed into Spring Training, or are there more deals on the horizon that could clarify the clubs infield picture? and Ma sey were the clubs primary options on the infield alongside Witt and first baseman last year. Could Garcia or Ma sey be relegated to a utility role or even on the move in a future deal to upgrade the clubs questionable outfield mix now that India is in the fold? Nerlens Noel Jersey
