Get pumped for Hot Stove season by listening to the walk-up music used by key free agents
Baseball's annual Winter Meetings will begin next week in National Harbor, Md. It's there that players, agents, team representatives, media and others on the "inside" convene for what's always a busy time around the league.
Top free agents still on the market are looking to ink deals with new clubs ahead of Spring Training, and with that in mind, we've put together a Spotify playlist of the particular musical accompaniment several of them use when they stride to the plate (or mound).
Enjoy the playlist below, and while we have your attention: be sure to follow MLB on Spotify to check out all of the rest of our playlists:
