There are no MLB games on the schedule today, so there’s no score to chase and no matchup to manufacture. This is one of those November Mondays when the playing field gives way to the planning room. I always find this part of the calendar revealing because every organization has to evaluate what it really is, not what it hoped to be. Contenders are looking for the move that keeps their window open. Everybody else is deciding whether to reload, rebuild, or take an aggressive swing. We don’t have verified transactions or contract news in today’s scoreboard, so I’m not going to pretend otherwise. What we do have is a clean break from game action and a reminder that championships are shaped long before Opening Day. The roster decisions made during this stretch will eventually become the stories we follow next season. Did You Know? On June 29, 1990, Dave Stewart and Fernando Valenzuela became the first pitchers in the modern era to throw separate Major League no-hitters on the same day. Dean's Take: MLB should move the amateur draft back to June Everything Baseball. Every Day. Every Era. — Baseball Nation Network
