The MLB Offseason rolls on, and it seems to have hit its peak. While some teams fire on all cylinders, others remain stagnant while failing to capitalize.
Christmas time is here, 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 the front office. 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 for all MLB fans.
Now, we look back at what has transpired. Some teams have already addressed their needs, while others missed their opportunities. Some players thought they were going in one direction, while winding up going in a completely different route. A month and a half into the offseason, and some teams are already fully prepared for the upcoming 2017 season. Then, there are the other teams, who missed their chance of acquiring the big name they need. These teams have made questionable moves, bad moves, or no moves at all in an effort to improve their staff going into 2017. The offseason has definitely had its winners. It has also had its losers.
