MLB Free Agency

Even though Thanksgiving dominated Week 3 of the 2015-2016 MLB offseason, there was still plenty of buzz surrounding stars like David Price and Jose Fernandez.

When it comes to the chase for Price, a heavyweight has emerged from the American League East. Meanwhile, some clarity has been provided on the future of Fernandez in South Beach.

As you enjoy your Thanksgiving leftovers, here's a look at all the biggest questions and answers from the week that was.

Historically, the real fun of the MLB offseason doesn't begin until the winter meetings.

Unfortunately, that gathering of baseball's top minds and decision-makers doesn't convene until Dec. 6 in Nashville, Tennessee. As we sit around waiting, there's no harm in taking a look at 10 impact moves that make so much sense that they should have already been made.

A big part of assessing the long list of free agents each year is identifying the players who stand a good chance of bouncing back. In the past, we’ve seen plenty of “risky” free agents go on to successfully prove their worth.

Every MLB teams has a best-case scenario on how their offseason could play out in terms of what specific players they add to address their various areas of need.

However, with 29 other teams vying for the services of the same crop of free agents, things don't always go according to plan, and teams are often forced to move on to Plan B or Plan C to address a particular need.

So with that in mind, what follows is a look at the best fallback options at each position in this year's free-agent class.

The MLB winter meetings are just two weeks away, and the competitive landscape of free agency will likely make its biggest plays this offseason. 

Executives of all 30 teams will convene in Nashville, where the hot stove will reach its peak. 

From Zack Greinke to Aroldis Chapman, both the MLB free-agent market and the trade block are stocked with impact arms.

For now, no one knows just where exactly those stars will end up. However, after considering team needs for 2016 and taking into account all the latest buzz, here are some surprise destinations that make sense as potential landing spots.

We spend a lot of time early in the free-agent season discussing good fits and where players would like to go. And then it still almost always comes down to which team offers the most money.

From Zack Greinke to David Price, the MLB free-agent market is flooded with impact starters.

That's great news for big league general managers because revamping the rotation is the most pressing need for an array of teams across the league.

There's also an assortment of squads whose top offseason objective is to land that late-inning ace. As it so happens, there's plenty of prominent relievers up for grabs on the trade block.

Attempting to replace top MLB free agents like Zack Greinke and David Price is not an enviable task. For teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, doing just that is on the docket this winter.

A stock-piled offseason of free agents is about to get into full swing in Major League Baseball with some of the game's top pitchers and position players ready to narrow down their suitors and sign offers for their futures.
