Listen, we know it's tough to catch up on everything happening in the baseball world each morning. There are all kinds of stories, rumors, game coverage, and Vines of dudes getting hit in the beans every day, and trying to find all of it while on your way to work or sitting at your desk isn't easy. It's okay, though, we're going to do the heavy lifting for you each morning, and find the things you need to see from within the SB Nation baseball network as well as from elsewhere. Please hold your applause until the end.

Yoan Moncada is officially a free agent, and you can expect bidding for his services to ramp up soon. That works just fine for Moncada, who almost immediately after being declared a free agent told MLB.com that he wants to sign soon, and with a team that can get him to the majors as quickly as possible. Basically everyone in the game wants Moncada -- who has first-overall pick talent, were he only eligible for the draft -- but not everyone has what it takes to have him: most of the league is just lustfully checking out a teenager from afar and wow have you ever thought about how weird it is that scouts do that for a living? Sports!

The teams that do have what it takes and are considered the favorites are the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, and Tigers. All four are rich and have no issue spending money when money is the answer to their problems. All four could use Moncada, though, the Red Sox could use him the least given their outfield and three-fourths of their infield are locked up as a unit for the next four years minimum. Buster Olney wrote that this fact might lead them to be less desperate in their negotiations than the competition, but make no mistake, talent is talent, and the Sox will still try to acquire Moncada even if there is no place for him. They'll deal with that logjam when it needs to be unjammed, and not a moment before.

The A's could always surprise everyone, and not just because Billy Beane is known for that sort of thing. They came out of nowhere to nab Yoenis Cespedes a few years back, and since Beane only hates holding on to first-round picks, would likely be delighted to add a high-priced international free agent to his farm system. The Cardinals are also a threat, especially since they never did spend big on a pitcher this winter. We won't have to wait very long to find out which of these places Moncada will land, not with his desire to participate in spring training going public two weeks before camps open.
