Analysis
- The Diamondbacks compensated for departing bats by becoming surprise players in the free agent market for one of the game’s elite aces. Corbin Burnes will sit atop a deep rotation featuring at least seven Major League-caliber arms. Depth will be an important factor for a team that dealt with impactful injuries to key starters, producing only one qualified pitcher in 2024 (Brandon Pfaadt). Can Burnes break the curse of the unfortunate recent history of free-agent starters signed by the D-Backs?
- With two key members of the 2024 Arizona lineup, longtime first baseman Christian Walker and platoon DH Joc Pederson, both signing free agent deals to head to the state of Texas, the Diamondback front office was forced to get creative to replace their thump. Enter Josh Naylor, a left-handed replacement for Pederson and a first base replacement for Walker. While he doesn’t equate defensively to Walker or offensively to Pederson, Arizona was able to deal from its pitching depth and Naylor will bring electricity previously missing from the lineup.

Analysis
- Forced to spend due to receiving 100% revenue sharing, the A’s dropped over $70M on two right-handed pitchers and acquired a couple more arms via a significant trade with the Rays, completely overhauling their pitching staff. After three straight seasons relying on rotations almost exclusively featuring pitchers under 30, the club splurged on Luis Severino, signing him to the largest contract in franchise history entering his age-31 campaign. Pair Severino’s reliability with the ace-upside of injury returnee Jeffrey Springs and the rotation in NorCal starts getting interesting.

Analysis
- Up until the signing of Jurickson Profar, the Braves were headed towards a devastating offseason, watching talent leave left and right while failing to acquire anyone of note. It’s a curious game plan for a franchise that has looked overmatched in the playoffs since winning the 2021 World Series.
- The pitching staff feels alien without Max Fried, Charlie Morton, and A.J. Minter. The Braves will look internally to replace the high-upside veteran arms they watched leave. There’s plenty of young pitching talent in the Atlanta farm system, but will those inexperienced arms be able to handle the bright lights of the postseason when the games truly matter?
- Profar fits on every team as a switch-hitter capable of playing most positions on the field. However, his offensive inconsistency makes him a curious player to offer a multi-year contract, especially considering that, despite his flexibility, he’s a terrible defender (2023-24: -17 DRS, -21 OAA). Since breaking out in 2018, Profar has alternated producing wRC+ marks above and below the league average. If the pattern continues, the Profar will return just one productive offensive campaign during the life of his contract.

Analysis
- The Orioles went an unusual route to replace one of the best starters in baseball, bringing a pair of veteran righties aboard. Tomoyuki Sugano was a star in NPB, winning two Sawamura Awards (Japan’s equivalent to the Cy Young Award) and earning eight All-Star selections. The 35-year-old had spent the entirety of his 12-year career with the Yomiuri Giants, and most recently produced a 1.67 ERA (156.2 IP) to secure his third career Central League MVP Award. It’s fair to wonder how his skills will transfer to MLB, especially at his somewhat advanced age.
- If age is a concern, then the addition of Charlie Morton should inspire more controversy. Regardless, the 41-year-old was remarkably consistent across the duration of his four-year contract with the Braves, as he compiled a 3.87 ERA (686.1 IP) and a 26% strikeout rate. His contributions will be crucial for a club that ranked fifth in starter ERA (3.77) last year but lost Corbin Burnes and John Means via free agency and will be without Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells due to elbow surgery.
- Baltimore went a more conventional route to supplement their lineup in the wake of Anthony Santander’s departure, signing bulked-up, injury-prone outfielder Tyler O’Neill. Following a pair of disappointing campaigns in St. Louis, he re-broke out with his second-career 30-homer campaign. An adjustment to the left field fence in Camden Yards should compensate for his downgrade in home ballpark and will continue to make it difficult to traverse the Orioles’ lineup altogether.

Analysis
- An efficient offseason for a club without a clear path to contention in the near future. Garrett Crochet was the most notable player to exit the South Side, but his trade brought in high-upside prospect talent, including the #32 and #55 overall prospects on MLB Pipeline’s updated top 100 prospects list, catcher Kyle Teel and outfielder Braden Montgomery. The former could be impacting the big league club by the summer after tearing up Double- and Triple-A at just 22 years old. Even Chase Meidroth, a less-hyped member of the return package for Crochet, could be an everyday middle infielder for the club after batting .293 (558 PA) at Triple-A in 2024. All three landed on Pitcher List’s ranking of Chicago’s Top 15 Fantasy Prospects.
- Ancillary additions this offseason are intended to be traded at the deadline. Mike Tauchman, Martín Pérez, Austin Slater, and a handful of relievers will be ideal candidates to build their resumes in Chicago during the first half before being dealt to contenders at the deadline. Their specialist abilities (backup outfielder, innings eater, lefty killer, etc.) will have plenty of rivals knocking on the White Sox door offering more prospects to build one of the game’s noticeably improving farm systems.

- C, Jacob Stallings (re-signed for one year, $2M) 1.0
Analysis
- It’s never quite clear what the plan is for the Rockies. They’ve remained on the fringes of free agency, inking a pair of veteran infielders and bringing back catcher Jacob Stallings. The 35-year-old had the best offensive season of his career in his first season with the Rockies, making up for his declining defense. Stallings is merely a stopgap for the club’s #9 overall prospect, Drew Romo, and could find himself in a backup role by year’s end.
- Thairo Estrada is an intriguing bounceback candidate and heading to the BABIP-influencing effects of Coors Field should only further boost his potential to return to being an above-league-average hitter. On the other hand, Kyle Farmer won’t be counted on as an everyday player, but his ability to play all over the field adds flexibility to the roster which was sorely missing last year.

- SP, Michael Lorenzen (re-signed for one year, $5.5M) 1.6
Analysis
- The Royals capitalized on the market early, re-signing veteran righties sharing a first name. After five straight years pitching for a different ballclub, Michael Wacha has finally found himself a stable home. The 33-year-old right-hander pitched 166.2 innings last year (his most since 2015) while turning in his third straight campaign with an ERA south of 3.40. Michael Lorenzen joined the club at last year’s trade deadline and impressed with a 1.57 ERA (28.2 IP) down the stretch, earning him a 2025 rotation spot and a chance at two-way eligibility if he finds some at-bats.
- The Jonathan India–Brady Singer trade makes loads of sense for both sides as the Royals and Reds swapped former first-round picks. India adds patience to a free-swinging lineup (ranked 27th in MLB with a 7.2% BB% in 2024), though his defensive limitations likely force him into the DH spot more often than not.

Analysis
- You have to commend the Angels for trying. Despite losing Shohei Ohtani and struggling to a division-worst 99 losses, the front office was determined to get the team back on track, injecting the lineup with power, shoring up the key defensive positions, and adding veteran savvy to the rotation.
- Yusei Kikuchi was the big addition of the offseason, and deservedly so, after the southpaw turned in a 2.70 ERA (60 IP) and a 31.8% strikeout rate following a deadline trade to the Astros. The new ace of the rotation, Kikuchi won’t be the only newcomer. Longtime Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks will don new threads for the first time in his career. Despite pitching to a career-worst 5.92 ERA (130.2 IP) last year, his ability to get on the mound every five days is something the Angels never seem capable of finding. The rotation and its depth feel more reliable than in years past.
- The signing of Jorge Soler is likely to go under the radar despite the right-handed hitter being one of the game’s premier power threats. Soler has recorded an isolated power of at least .190 every year since 2018, and his .236 overall mark ranks 11th amongst batters with at least 3000 plate appearances during that span.

Just one prospect, shortstop Starlyn Caba (#81 overall prospect), received in the trades of Jake Burger and Jesús Luzardo were members of MLB Pipeline’s list of top 100 prospects. Echedry Vargas joined Caba on Pitcher List’s ranking of Miami’s Top 15 Fantasy Prospects.

Analysis
- Coming off a disappointing 80-loss campaign, the Twins have sat in silence this offseason, watching key contributors leave for greener pastures without finding any replacements. Maybe it’s just a slow-developing offseason for the club and they amp things up closer to Spring Training, but they’re running out of time and options to upgrade a team that failed to make the postseason in 2024.

- Not what you’d expect from a franchise that has made waves every offseason this decade. Jesús Luzardo is the key addition coming off an injury-plagued and turbulent campaign. The southpaw will look to bounce back during his two years under team control. From 2022-23, Luzardo produced a 3.48 ERA (279 IP) and a 1.15 WHIP while striking out 28.7% of the batters he faced.

Analysis
- President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto didn’t earn the nickname “Trader Jerry” because he likes grocery shopping. Therefore, it’s been an uncharacteristically quiet offseason for the usually busy Mariners.
- The club cleaned up around the edges, adding Donovan Solano as a short-side platoon option after batting .302 (118 PA) with a 134 wRC+ against lefties for the Padres in 2024. The return of Jorge Polanco solidifies an underwhelming infield. In 2024, his first season with a new organization, the switch hitter produced one of the worst seasons of his career, and yet, will head back to the PNW with a guaranteed everyday role.

Analysis
- With a new era of stars on the way, the Nationals supplemented their lineup with a trio of defensively-limited mid. Nathaniel Lowe is the marquee addition, having earned a Gold Glove with his defense in 2023 and a Silver Slugger for his offense in 2022 with the Rangers. He remained above-average on both sides of the ball last year and will slot into the middle of a blossoming lineup.
