The status of C.C. Sabathia, whom the Yankees will likely owe $25 million for 2017, is just one of many pitching questions to be resolved in the offseason. Also: Whither Buchholz in BOS, Dickey in TOR? How will trade winds blow in TAM? And will Jimenez, Gallardo and Miley earn their keep in BAL?
Newly promoted Kennys Vargas should see an increase in ABs during Trevor Plouffe's absence. Plus updates on Andre Ethier, Rubby De La Rosa, Ozzie Albies, Jason Motte, Tom Wilhelmsen and more.
Jose Peraza is on fire, and making his case to start—both down the stretch and in 2017. But where will he play? Plus a look at a few other potential playing time battles, and a few players who could be on the trade block in the NL Central.
With Rich Hill ending up as the only "Strong Start" option, we're forced to investigate the matchups of "Wildcard" options like Seth Lugo, Felix Hernandez, and Tom Koehler.
Matt Duffy's season is over, giving Mike Mahtook and Richie Shaffer an opportunity for playing time. Plus updates on Stephen Strasburg, Billy Hamilton, Jordan Zimmermann, Chad Green, Danny Santana and more.
With 3 AL Central teams still in the playoff chase and uncertainty about the other 2 clubs, the 2017 rosters are very much unknowns. We take an early look this week at some position players who could take the field on Opening Day 2017. Next week: pitchers.
