If we reasonably take out the Covid and lockout offseasons, the tally looks like this:
November: 3 (Boras 1)
December: 19 (Boras 8)
January: 1
February: 2 (Boras 1)
March: 1 (Boras 1)
The top free agents pretty much come off the market by New Year’s Day, 22 of 26 over the last five unencumbered player markets. Boras clients follow the general trend -- nine of 11, with Bregman last year and Bryce Harper in 2018 the exceptions.
