MLB

We are still a few weeks from the start of spring training, and a couple of months away from Opening Day, but it's never too early to take a crack at predicting how all 30 MLB teams' Opening Day rosters will shake out.

Obviously, the inevitable injuries, surprise performances and whatever signings and trades that take place this spring will shake things up between now and the beginning of the regular season.

The NFL wants you to think this is Super Bowl week.

But when you got up Monday morning and turned the calendar to February, that can only mean one thing: Baseball is back! Winter is over. Pitchers and catchers report this month, and so does everybody else.

It's time for spring training, time for the sun and the fun and the "everybody has a chance" cliches.

And time to remind you those cliches aren't true, because not everyone has a chance to win this year. The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers? They have no chance.

With apologies to Mike Leake, the St. Louis Cardinals didn't get an ace this winter. But they might be getting an ace back, which could be equally huge.

We're talking about Adam Wainwright, one of the best pitchers in baseball when he's right.

The Seattle Mariners have dipped into the Cuban talent pool, signing utility man Dainer Moreira to a minor league contract just three weeks before the team’s minor league minicamp in Peoria, Arizona, per Bob Dutton of the News Tribune.

Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun continues to rehabilitate from offseason back surgery.

The Baltimore Orioles announced Sunday that minor league infielder Ramon Ramirez died in a motorcycle accident Saturday night in the Dominican Republic.

Determining offseason winners and losers can be a futile task of sorts. We’ve all heard the cliches about playing the games, right?

There’s a paper champion and then the real champion. Very rarely do they match. Who is to say whether a contract is good or bad until we actually watch a player during the season?

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired right-handed pitcher Tyler Wagner in a five-player trade with the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, the team announced.

Along with Wagner, the Diamondbacks received 2013 All-Star infielder Jean Segura, while the Brewers acquired infielder Aaron Hill, pitcher Chase Anderson and shortstop Isan Diaz.

The Arizona Diamondbacks traded minor league shortstop Isan Diaz to the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday in a deal that sent Jean Segura to Arizona, per Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The Arizona Diamondbacks attempted to upgrade their second-base position by way of subtraction, trading away incumbent Aaron Hill on Saturday to the Milwaukee Brewers in a deal that netted them shortstop Jean Segura.
