No major moves thus far, why is this offseason going so slow?

its november.

Earth's rotation period relative to the Sun (its mean solar day) is 86,400 seconds of mean solar time. Each of these seconds is slightly longer than an SI second because Earth's solar day is now slightly longer than it was during the 19th century due to tidal acceleration. The mean solar second between 1750 and 1892 was chosen in 1895 by Simon Newcomb as the independent unit of time in his Tables of the Sun. These tables were used to calculate the world's ephemerides between 1900 and 1983, so this second became known as the ephemeris second. The SI second was made equal to the ephemeris second in 1967.[1]

 

Earth's rotation period relative to the fixed stars, called its stellar day by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), is 86164.098 903 691 seconds of mean solar time (UT1) (23h 56m 4.098 903 691s).[2][3] Earth's rotation period relative to the precessing or moving mean vernal equinox, misnamed its sidereal day, is 86164.090 530 832 88 seconds of mean solar time (UT1) (23h 56m 4.090 530 832 88s).[2] Thus the sidereal day is shorter than the stellar day by about 8.4 ms.[4] The length of the mean solar day in SI seconds is available from the IERS for the periods 1623–2005[5] and 1962–2005.[6] Recently (1999–2005) the average annual length of the mean solar day in excess of 86400 SI seconds has varied between 0.3 ms and 1 ms, which must be added to both the stellar and sidereal days given in mean solar time above to obtain their lengths in SI seconds.

Are you talking about the Marlins or the Majors in general? If you're talking about the Marlins, we've certainly been the most active club out there, so I don't know how we've been "slow."

 

And if you're talking about the Majors, like poptart said, it's Novemeber.

its november.

Slow in what way?

slow like duuuuurrrrrrr or slow like ZZZZZZZZZ?

damn bro you sound like my astronomy professor this semester lol I love that class btw...and yeah the offseason is going slow as helllllllllllllll.

Quiet before the storm

Slow in the majors, no doubt we been busy, but I just dont see much happening at all for the last two weeks.

Is not like this big FA players are not going to sign a contract for next year. Relax, I'm sure they be one signing news per each top FA sometime this off season.

Yeah, this is how I feel.

The volume of free agent signings is already fixed. It's just a matter of when they all occur. So far, I think only Dempster has signed, but it is still only November - less than one month from the last game of the World Series.

 

In reality, the only thing that can make an offseason "busier" (or less busy) is the volume of trades. And in that regard, our team has made 3 deals, and Nick Swisher, Coco Crisp, and Matt Holliday have been moved. That's pretty decent volume in my book for only about 25 days since the postseason concluded.
