The NL West was a snooze-fest at the Winter Meetings. It’s almost as if the GMs in the West were angry that the meetings didn’t give them a chance to travel to a different time zone. But, there was that one acquisition …
Rockies
Nothing.
Grade: F
D-backs
Nothing.
Grade: F
Dodgers
It probably felt good to stick it to the Red Sox as they outbid them by offering one extra year to reliever Joe Kelly. He made a big difference in the Red Sox winning the World Series, maybe he’s the piece the Dodgers need to finally get a ring in the 21st Century. They also hired Jeff Kingston as a Vice President and Assistant GM.
Grade: B+ (for slightly better than Boston)
Padres
Nothing.
Grade: F
Giants

Grade: D-
