It may still be freezing in some parts of the country, but spring is officially here as pitchers and catchers are set to begin reporting to spring training in sunny Arizona and Florida later this week.

Before the preseason officially begins, it's time to roll out our official farm-system rankings for the upcoming year, complete with a look at the top 10 prospects within each organization.

Spring training is about to begin, and so too should your preparations for the upcoming fantasy baseball season.

While most drafts are still a few weeks away, nobody wants to be caught unprepared by relying on the preset rankings supplied by whatever site you use and haphazardly scribbled names on a sticky note that you can barely make out.

From Spotlight to The Big Short, we've seen most of the Oscar contenders (loved both of those, not so hip on The Martian). From Kendrick Lamar to Alabama Shakes, we tracked the Grammys from start to finish the other night.

Nobody can say the Boston Red Sox are lacking in stars heading into 2016. To rise from the depths of the AL East, all they need is for their stars to live up to their track records.

Chicago White Sox prospect Tim Anderson Jr. may be too talented for his own good.

While taking some hacks in the batting cage on Monday, Anderson—who is listed as the No. 1 prospect in the White Sox organization by MLB.com—decided to film himself with his phone. The 22-year-old shortstop even took proper precautions to try to protect it.

The Texas Rangers and third baseman Adrian Beltre are discussing a contract extension that could keep the 36-year-old slugger with the organization for the rest of his career.

The Miami Marlins have a "tentative game plan" to put ace starting pitcher Jose Fernandez on an innings limit for the upcoming season, which the team "will review with Jose in spring training,” according to president of baseball operations Michael Hill (via Jon Morosi of FoxSports.com).  

The American League has won two of the past three World Series, with the Kansas City Royals defeating the New York Mets in five games last year.

However, the National League is favored to rebound in 2016, led by a team that has not won the World Series since 1908 in the Chicago Cubs at 4-1 odds at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.
