Good morning. This is the weekend before the Winter Meetings. The quiet before the storm.

T.R. Sullivan has a story about the Rangers non-tendering Geovany Soto, Jake Brigham, and Brandon Snyder. Sullivan says that the Rangers expect to re-sign Brigham and Snyder to minor league deals, and that they are still hopeful of re-signing Soto, although the decision to non-tender him has left the Rangers in a bit of a bind in regards to their catching situation.

Jeff Wilson also has a story about the non-tendering of Soto, Brigham and Snyder, and indicates the Rangers want to bring all three players back.

Evan Grant has a blog post about Soto being non-tendered.

Drew Davison has a story about Derek Holland going to a local school and talking about the importance of nutrition.

Gerry Fraley has a post about Jurickson Profar getting benched for his Winter League team, in the midst of a slump.
