AL East

The Boston Red Sox have had an eventful offseason, but without a true ace, they can't expect to seriously contend for a World Series.

The Boston Red Sox have bolstered the future of their pitching rotation by signing southpaw Wade Miley to a new contract.

O'Connell Sports reported the news on Thursday:

More details were presented by the Red Sox's official Twitter account:

The Baltimore Orioles are heading into the 2015 season with a less-than-below-average farm system after stud righty Kevin Gausman and second baseman of the future Jonathan Schoop shed their prospect labels this past year.

The ongoing cold war between the New York Yankees and third baseman Alex Rodriguez reportedly is headed for another battle.

The drought needs to end.

The Toronto Blue Jays have not made the postseason since winning the World Series in 1993, the longest dry spell in Major League Baseball. Though the Jays have made blockbuster trades aimed at ending the streak in recent years, including this offseason, they have not finished any better than third in the American League East in the last eight seasons.

Spring training is almost here, which means Opening Day and the 2015 season are getting closer and closer with each passing day.

October 25, 1998, has been seen as a great day in Toronto Blue Jays history. The ball passed from one legend to another when reliever Dave Stieb took the ball from starting pitcher Roy Halladay for the first and only time in club history.

These icons are widely considered two of the greatest in Blue Jays history, so it is no wonder that this moment has been frozen in time.

After missing the playoffs for the 21st straight season last year, the Toronto Blue Jays spent much of the offseason retooling their roster in an attempt to reverse their fortunes during the upcoming season.

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos began his overhaul by first electing to part ways with several notable players from last season, such as Adam Lind, Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie.

After starting the offseason with a bang and following it up with some active winter meetings, the Red Sox transaction wire has been practically dormant for over a month. The team is in solid shape but could use a few more moves to transition into a genuine title contender.

In an attempt to make a comeback after suspensions and injuries have essentially kept him out of baseball for the past two years, New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez has reportedly enlisted the services of another controversial superstar in his day, Barry Bonds.
