NY Post: Winter meetings may finally bring movement for Aaron Judge, Jacob deGrom. "...the winter meetings kick off on Sunday, Dec. 4 in San Diego.

Joel notes that At Single-A and Double-A in 2022 — at which the new shift rules were deployed — batting average on ground balls rose nine points (from .240 to .249) for lefty hitters while staying near neutral for righties.
