The free-agent market this winter has been a lot of things, including incredibly profitable and excruciatingly slow-moving. However, what has never been is unexpected. Is it asking too much to expect a change in this before spring training begins? Since things are so dreary right now that one can’t help but drift into wishful thinking, it’s a question worth addressing.

A few days ago, the Milwaukee Brewers signed Rhys Hoskins to a two-year, $34 million contract, with an option for a third year and an opt-out after the first. This was one of the team’s more unexpected offseason additions. This contract pales in comparison to the well publicized agreements worth hundreds of millions of dollars like Yoshinobu Yamamoto or Shohei Ohtani. However, this is the highest compensation the Brewers have ever paid an outside free agent; it exceeds the $16 million Lorzeno Cain brought in on a yearly average for Milwaukee. The general consensus in the league was that the…
