It's going to be a busy and exciting offseason, and we here at MLBTR will have all of the latest news as it breaks.  We'll be tracking all of the winter's trades and constantly updating our list of available free agents, so stay tuned.  For now, here are a few reactions from around the baseball world on some of the moves that have already taken place... Matt Eddy of Baseball America takes a deeper look at the trade that brought Mark Teahen (and $1MM) to the White Sox.  Teahen will start at third base in 2010 with sophomore Gordon Beckham sliding over to second base. Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reviews the swap that netted the Twins shortstop J.J. Hardy.  "The deal has the potential to look very good for the Twins if Hardy can regain his pre-2009 form," writes Christensen, "but that “if” is as big as Hardy’s 6-2, 190-pound frame."
