If you think this free agent market is moving slow, well, it’s not your imagination.
The vast majority of the biggest stars are still available, and theories for the deliberate pace almost outnumber the stars.
Is it due to a potential work stoppage? Is it the price tags and a few high-dollar early signings? Is it the star-studded trade list, which still includes Freddy Peralta, Edward Cabrera, MacKenzie Gore, Ketel Marte and maybe even the great Tarik Skubal (that one still seems like a long shot).
If there’s worry, star free agents and their agents aren’t showing it — not yet.
