While there is still time for any team to make a splash, the MLB offseason is winding down. Five teams have separated themselves from the rest of the pack throughout the winter break.

The action-packed MLB winter meetings are behind us and the offseason excitement has calmed. Nothing to be depressed about, it only means opening day is getting closer. Some teams would be ready if the season began today, others are keeping a keen eye on the market. Various big name players remain available including Edwin Encarnacion, Mark Trumbo, and Jose Bautista. Any of those three could shake up the power rankings. As of now, however, let’s take a look at the offseason winners as of December 22.

A brief exclusion: The Boston Red Sox. Everyone knows about Chris Sale. Sale single-handedly crowned the Red Sox the offseason champs, not to mention the witty additions of Mitch Moreland and Tyler Thornburg. An in-depth analysis of Boston’s offseason would go purposeless as just about everything that can be said has been said about the Sox.

Time to shine the spotlight on other deserving teams.
