A pivotal change could be looming for the Philadelphia Phillies and for once, it isn't all bad.

Who needs the MLB winter meetings? 

Teams evidently didn't want to wait until the second week of December to complete major offseason transactions. Impact players like Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Carlos Beltran all made decisions about their baseball futures on Thursday and Friday.

On Friday afternoon, the Seattle Mariners acquired Robinson Cano on a 10-year, $240 million blockbuster deal, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

The Seattle Mariners signing Robinson Cano isn't the last big move you'll see this offseason.

ESPN Deportes' Enrique Rojas reported the team signed the All-Star second baseman to a 10-year, $240 million deal.

In the aftermath of one of the craziest weeks in recent offseason history, it's natural to wonder if the winter meetings will disappoint baseball fans.

With news of second baseman Robinson Cano signing a 10-year, $240 million deal (via ESPN Deportes' Enrique Rojas) with the Seattle Mariners, fans of his former team, the New York Yankees, are showing their disapproval by burning their Cano Yankees jerseys.

This will likely be the first of many videos like this from Yankees fans that we'll see this week.

After five consecutive losing seasons, free-agent disasters like Frank Francisco and payroll slashing into mid-market territory, the New York Mets made a splash on Friday morning. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, ex-Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson is on his way to Queens on a four-year, $60 million deal. 

Curtis Granderson has signed with the New York Mets. On Friday, the Mets and Granderson agreed on a four-year, $60-million deal. The signing has Mets fans thrilled, as the front office finally seems to be spending money trying to improve the team.

As Chicago prepares itself for its first major snowstorm of the season, members of the Ricketts family and the front office prepare to make the trip to Orlando for next week's winter meetings.

Jealous much? Thought so.

Many topics will be addressed and decided on at the meetings, from the future of instant replay to the fate of free agents around the league.

The biggest story of the MLB offseason to this point broke on Friday afternoon, as Robinson Cano and the Seattle Mariners agreed on a massive 10-year, $240 million deal just days before this year's winter meetings kick off in Orlando.
