The snow cleared — but the MLB market is still moving slowly.

On this episode of The Baseball Insiders, Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray check in on the trade and free-agent landscape after a quiet winter storm weekend, including why Brendan Donovan now looks unlikely to move, what to make of Giants–Nationals rumblings around CJ Abrams, and whether San Francisco still has another move lined up.

Plus, the latest on the mid-tier free agent pitching market, including Lucas Giolito buzz with the Tigers, and which notable free agent could be waiting all the way until Spring Training to sign.

The MLB hot stove just detonated again. Mackenzie Gore is traded to the Texas Rangers in a surprise five-for-one that nobody saw coming, and it hits just as the Freddy Peralta market closes with Peralta landing in Queens to cap a massive Mets week. Adam Weinrib and FanSided MLB insider Robert Murray break down what the Gore trade means for Texas and Washington, why the Nationals finally moved him, and what the ripple effects look like for contenders who missed out on Peralta.

Plus: with Cody Bellinger back in the Bronx, are the New York Yankees actually finished — or do they still need to add a starter and fix a bullpen that remains a glaring question mark? We also dig into the growing Jason Domínguez trade buzz and what kind of return would (and wouldn’t) make sense.
