Passan makes some interesting points but would rather be discussing moves rather than guessing why clubs aren't making moves.
Agree that clubs are more excited about the 2018-2019 free agency class than the 2017-2018 class but doubt that this offseason is slow to develop as clubs are actively robbing the 2018 season budgets to potentially pay for the 2019 season. Haven't other clubs heard Ricketts dictate that every season is sacred.
Agree that coaching moves have had an impact. Hell, the Yankees don't currently have a manager so guessing their front office might be spending a bit of time on finding one while sorting through free agent moves.
