Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:06:23 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Day One of the MLB Winter Meetings concluded Monday with nary a peep of activity.The San Francisco Giants are expected to be major players here and, depending on how things go, deeper into the offseason. But when president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi took a seat in the club’s sixth-floor suite he welcomed reporters to the “most awkward session of the year.”As in: There’s about to be a whole lot of questions I can’t answer.Prohibited from talking publicly about current free agents, Zaidi zigged and zagged around naming names — we can: Shohei Ohtani — while attempting to explain the lack of transactions that so far have defined this winter and the first day of baseball’s offseason gathering.“It almost feels like this year there’s more of an awareness of some of the bigger dominoes that may fall. My sense is that there’s more patience for things to play out,” Zaidi said. “In one sense there’s a little bit ...
