I like how the rangers off-season additions is literally an entire starting rotation 😂

[@Noahlee55]

What they needed the most. They had that plus a better bullpen they probably would’ve won about 80. Offense was good. But pitching wasn’t.

I think one non player move that's going to pay off is the Astros signing Dana Brown from the Braves organization. Dude's got an eye for scouting talent and has already shown he's willing to do whatever it takes to re-sign key players to long term, team friendly deals by extending Cristian Javier to a 5 year, 65 Million deal.

exactly lmao, he will do anything to prop up his Mets, but in reality they should be no higher than maybe a B+. They did almost exactly what the braves did, and I don't think they got better with adding Verlander to replace DeGrom.

[@masterbaiters1183]

Despite not doing much, I think the White Sox are generally good enough to improve from last year I’m super high on Cleveland so I don’t think they’re winning the central but they’re young and talented enough to see a bounce back if they stay healthy and see some improvement from the young guys

[@JackTuretzky]

[@noahwelch2931]

The Twins are so deep at every position. They are injury proof and are built for a 162 regular season games. However, they are not top heavy and will get bounced in the playoffs (if they even make it).

[@masonbilak3855]

how come padres are only a B? they brought in veterans for their younger players and added Bogearts, i feel like that’s an A for any team

[@Ryski74]

This off season is painfully long. I forgot about half of these signings. Can it be March already ? 😂

[@aidentracey2332]

I feel like the Guardians did what they knew they had to do this offseason: upgrade catcher, and upgrade 1b/DH. They did that, so although I would've loved to see them use the prospect surplus they have to trade for someone to put this team over the top, I think they could have gotten a B- or a B.

[@pohorex6834]

100%, they fixed their few problems, and aren’t ruining their future yet by tearing apart the team. Smart FO

[@DigiRangerScott]

So many names I didn’t know. They feel like they were tucked away within their teams for a year or two, maybe most of them backups, since being called up and were let loose and weakly picked up

[@Joe-dy1qv]

Mets did so “gargle gargle gag gag” good this season. Good lord keep blowing a bad team

[@syloffire]

Ain no way the Yankees get an A: other than Rodon signing, the rest of the roster is essentially the same

[@Redpoppy80]

I personally give the Giants a "D" for the offseason more viewing the lens of "what they needed" vs "what they got" They only needed minimal help in the pitching but over-acquired in that area which is not nearly as much of a problem as what they actually needed. They needed a legit centerfielder (struck out), needed middle infielders who field (struck out), some arms to get to Doval our closer (got those), and some actual all star postion players (SUPER STRIKE OUT). It wasn't a train wreck but what they got was not what they needed and again on extreme player-friendly deals that cap our upside which we really need more of right now. I don't mind one bit about letting Rodon go but they didn't give fans any reason to care about them this year.

[@jsteimel]

It's pretty unfortunate that in an offseason that had so much talent on the move, you had nearly half the teams in the league unsure if they'll get their TV revenue for the next couple years, which definitely had some of them reigning in spending. No doubt it was just an excuse for some of those teams, though.

Miami added AJ Puk just moments ago for JJ Bleday. So that might up the grade to C+.. but they need bats.

[@joshneumann2513]

I wouldn’t say the Tigers have “no farm”, they’ll have a lot of guys rise up this year with the new development staff. Already have seen it in guys like Wilmer Flores, Parker Meadows, Kerry Carpenter

[@Deeptocenter]

I think the Justyn-Henry Malloy pickup gives the tigers a small boost in my opinion. Dude is an on base machine and I have a feeling he’s going to be a future all star

[@dnavarro972]

With Mitch Garver back it should help Jonah Heim offensively. We’re also getting a full season of Josh Jung. Got a lot of talent competing for LF too.

[@cjbain3632]

I think the jays deserve an A-. Not only are the guys they brought in good, but Ross Atkins is in a way playing moneyball baseball trying to build a squad around a certain scheme. Scheme is to have high upside pitchers and get them with one of the best pitching coaches in baseball and fix their issues along with having their positives which is them being flamethrowers. Then to bring in good outfielders who can play defense at a very high level. Which is all of what they did bringing in Varsho, Kiermeier, and Julian Fernandez/Junior Fernandez

From what I heard with the Orioles gm, he said that he thought it wasn't their time to go all in because we haven't reached our window which is supposed to be 2024-2027.

[@sams2124]

Yes, I think the Orioles are being extremely strategic. Picking up any high-quality guy on a multi-year deal it's just going to serve as a blocker for the loaded farm system that we have. Literally if 25% of the guys we have in the minors pan out to be average or above average contributors at the major league level then we're going to be in a really good spot in the next few years. I do think the Orioles got better and I do think that the wild card is in our reach

[@graemewallace8868]

Anthony Bass was traded at the deadline last year, not a new acquisition for Toronto. Although a full season of him should indeed make the team better, as the bullpen was much better the second half of the season, which was perhaps lost among a disastrous collapse against the Mariners.

[@austinskaggs4184]

The Mets giving a contract extension to Brandon Nimmo was huuuge. Anyone who is pro-analytics, knows that he is an elite player when healthy. Nimmo is the real deal.

[@frankisfunny2007]

So.... the A's got slightly better

[@digiblader1]

Yankees don't deserve an A. In fact, they deserve a C or lower - they still haven't addressed LF, and are a starting pitching injury away from being in serious trouble with Montas already out the 1st month of the season (likely to be longer if he needs shoulder surgery), Sevy and Rodon have injury concerns, and Cortes has a high risk of regressing due to the shift bans + the fact he had a abnormally low BABIP - without the shifts, he's a backend starter/long reliever at best.

[@Puruvian]

Nestor cortes could regress, but he has a cristian javier type fastball which causes lots of pop ups

[@CrushDani]

[@sebastianholinaty6560]

Id give the bluejays a B+ or A. i think the defensive shift changes and larger bases are gonna change the game to more of a small ball mindset with easier stolen bases and more hit and a need to have better overall defense which is what the jays did. could be a Rays/Royals speed and defense team but they also have vladdy, Bo and some other power bats in the lineup
