The MLB offseason rolls on, and it seems to have hit its peak. As we put the holiday season behind us, some MLB teams have already had their wishes granted.

The holidays are just about over, and the MLB offseason is rolling on. Over the past several weeks, the offseason has seemed to have reached a very high point. Free agent deals have been flying out of front offices. We’ve seen trades that have been beneficial, questionable and just flat-out terrible. With two and a half months remaining, most big free agents have already been signed, while a few remain on the market. Other big names that are already on a roster await their fates as their trade value rises. While the offseason has already been eventful, the remaining two and a half months leave a feeling of wonder and excitement for all MLB fans.

Now, we look back at what has transpired. Several teams struck gold so far in the offseason with free agent and trade acquisitions. Some of these moves will help these teams heading in 2017, while others will help these teams going beyond 2017. For some of these clubs, their already good rosters got even better. For rebuilding teams, their futures became futures to wait for. No matter what the case may be, these teams are in for a very successful future, whether near or distant.

Here are the three biggest winners of the MLB offseason so far.
