tecnically midnight on the 1st - but they're so far apart it doesn't really matter. Looks like the Hot Stove will not be reporting much in roster movements/signings or trade = everything except negotiations come to halt 12/1 at midnight. That will definitely hinder the rehab of guys coming off injuries. Michael Kay expects no agreement before mid February which under normal conditions is when P&Cs report to ST. Not going to be a fun off season this year - will cooler heads prevail in the interest of the game or will bitterness cause this drag out indefinitely???
