What each team should do next after the winter meetings
Every team left Las Vegas with unfinished business. We have some suggestions on where they should go from here.
Law: Bullpen overpays and the Rule 5 draft
The Dodgers may have needed bullpen help, but did they and the Mets go too far for Joe Kelly and Jeurys Familia?
Buster's Buzz: Kelly, Familia deals set tone for bloated bullpen market
Teams have tons of relief options this winter. They can afford to wait. The relievers? Maybe not so much.

Callaway OK with Cano not running hard to first
Mets manager Mickey Callaway said new second baseman Robinson Cano, 36, deserves some leeway when it comes to running out infield grounders, as he is trying to protect his body.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
Peter Alonso hit 36 home runs in the minors for the Mets and Mickey Callaway says the big first baseman has a chance to make the Opening Day roster — suggesting the Mets maybe won't worry about service time: "He's put himself in a position to make the team and maybe hit in the middle of the lineup."
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
Mets manager Mickey Callaway says there won't be anything fancy with the way the team uses Edwin Diaz: "He's our closer. ... It makes the most sense to keep him in that role." Diaz recorded 57 saves for the Mariners but entered before the ninth inning just three times. So expect to see him remain as strictly a one-inning guy.
Buster's Buzz: Mets eye another jackpot in J.T. Realmuto
So far, new GM Brodie Van Wagenen has shown a penchant for playing high-stakes poker. No surprise he's all-in on the best available catcher in Vegas.
Bradford Doolittle ESPN Staff Writer
There is a lot of stuff slinging around Vegas in regards to the rumored Mets/Marlins/Yankees deal. With so many moving parts, it seems unlikely to move from rumor to reality, but you never know. It's been awhile since baseball had a great blockbuster three-teamer. The big clog in the machine: Would the Yankees really want to part with Miguel Andujar and a package of meaningful prospects for three years of Noah Syndergaard, who has started just 32 games over the last two years? Also, it still seems like any win-right-now scenario for the Mets would involve Thor, but Andujar and JT Realmuto would be an amazing return. Should be an interesting day in Vegas.
