MLB’s offseason is off to another painfully slow start, with most of the top free agents remaining unsigned. However, a few of the best pitchers have come off the board, and all of their contracts signal just how crazy the starting pitching market is going to be this offseason. The biggest of the bunch was
Unlike the promising first half of the season, where the Falcons repeatedly found ways to eke out close victories, the start of the second half has been a stark contrast—defined by miscues and underwhelming performances across the board.
