The UUBO merger is the talk of the baseball world this week, but the Winter Meetings in Tiny Sea were more than just this big announcement. This offseason has been the most active so far in pro baseball’s history. Teams and players hashed out deals that will shape the landscape of the game as we begin the transition into the UUBO era of Uplantic baseball.
