The date to exchange figures is today.  Some teams are "file & trial" teams, meaning that they do not negotiate further after numbers are exchanged, where others will continue to negotiate to avoid the trials.  Trials are very contemptuous events, as the team tells the arbitrator what is wrong with the player and why they don't feel he is worth his price.  Some hard feelings are inevitable.

Mets and Harvey agreed. I think it was a little over $5M.

All the writers treating this like it's trade deadline day or something on twitter today are annoying.

Yeah it's been a bad offseason. Ohtani and Stanton have been the only big stories.

Yea it's weird. 4 biggest moves are Ohtani, Stanton, Carlos Santana, and Jay Bruce.

Looks like Astros and Springer might not settle. He wants 10 million and Astros offer 8. I have a feeling he might win, but you never know
