It's about two weeks from MLB's Opening Day and Blake Snell remains unsigned. The reigning Cy Young winner has not been added to a team's roster in free agency, but his recent social media activity hinted at a potential development.
Snell posted a cryptic message on social media, indicating that fans should keep an eye open. Whether that means he's poised to sign a deal remains to be seen, but the speculation has been stirred.
Fans, for the most part, are tired of the free agency cycle. The top four free agents not named Shohei Ohtani or Yoshinobu Yamamoto only signed after Spring Training began, with two still unsigned.
After Snell theoretically signs, only Jordan Montgomery will be left. There has been very little movement on either front this entire offseason, so there's still no guarantee that Snell's teaser even means a deal is done.
Where's Blake Snell signing?
With 18 days left before several teams' Opening Days, it's reasonable to assume that Snell will find a team soon. But where he will end up is still a mystery.
So far, the two main teams that have shown interest have been the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees even gave him an offer that was shot down because it was reportedly far below what Snell wanted. They later offered a second contract.
The Yankees haven't exactly been aggressive, and reports suggest Snell is leaning toward a contract with the Angels.
