With lockout looming, Cleveland Guardians play waiting game: Week in baseball

Teams have been making trades and signing free agents at a faster than normal rate as they try improve their rosters before a potential lockout shuts down all offseason transactions. The non-tender date, for instance, has been moved from Dec. 2 to Tuesday to avoid being neutralized if a lockout is declared. It means teams must offer unsigned players on their 40-man roster with fewer than six years in the big leagues contracts for the 2022 season.
