The recent signings of Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama have created a crowded outfield in CIN. Plus, rotation overviews for CHC and MIL, the young infield in PIT, and the closer situation in STL.
Shohei Ohtani will be 18 months past Tommy John surgery on Opening Day. But when he next pitches for LAA is still one of their many rotation questions. The OAK OF outlook, SEA catchers, TEX 1B and more...
In Reese McGuire and Danny Jansen, TOR has two 25-year-old catchers. But which has the better upside? Also: Another shot at redemption for Davis in BAL, bullpen thoughts in BOS and TAM, and Andujar's new positions in NYY.
An early winter flurry of activity suggests that the White Sox may be winning the bat race to overtake the Indians as the chief competition for the Twins in the AL Central.
With a championship finally under their belts, will re-signing Strasburg be enough to help the Nats return to the promised land? Plus: SP & RP additions in ATL, NYM, PHI; MIA adds a couple decent bats, more.
Still plenty of time for clubs to make changes before Opening Day. But scarce starting pitching makes the outlook for some AL West clubs better than others. Notably in Oakland, where Jesus Luzardo looks ready to ascend.
Nico Hoerner is the the second baseman of the future in CHC, but will he be an everyday player in 2020? Plus, a bad break for Tyler Mahle in CIN; outfield outlook in PIT; a pitching showdown in STL; breaking down the corner infield in MIL.
Gio Urshela heads into the preseason with a "leg up" to be the starting 3Bman for NYY, but can Miguel Andujar bump him off the spot? Also: Jobs to fill in BAL, 1B vacancy in BOS, center field thoughts in TOR and the end of the opener in TAM?
