... the perception that there’s an abundance of openings may be a bit exaggerated.

John Stockstill is the only major league scout who was removed, with Dave Engle and Jim Howard remaining under contract. The Orioles need an East Coast crosschecker to replace Kirk Fredriksson, who’s still searching for a job. National crosscheckers Danny and Matt Haas were let go and now work in other organizations.

Director of scouting Gary Rajsich has taken a scouting position with the Braves and the Orioles also must replace pro director Patrick Di Gregory, who hasn’t latched on with another club. Northeast area scout Dana Duquette is working for the Marlins.

...Joel Bradley’s departure creating one vacancy in scouting. Cale Cox, assistant director of minor league and international operations, also was removed.

Doesn’t seem that exaggerated to me.

I believe I read that Fredriksson had signed on with the Braves as well. The Braves have really been expanding their scouting department the past few months.

Saw this.   Practically could have called it “collusion coordinator.”

This detail from Jeff Passan's ESPN story on the arb process in general was not something I knew before:

While MLB works diligently and impressively to coordinate the arbitration targets of its 30 teams -- this behavior is sanctioned under the collective bargaining agreement and not considered collusive --
