Major League Baseball is facing a lawsuit from Sylvia Lind, who works in the Office of the Commissioner as the director of baseball initiatives. 

According to a report from the Associated Press, via FoxSports.com, Lind has filed a discrimination lawsuit against MLB:

I know what you're thinking.

"Fix" is a silly word to use for a team that won the American League East by 12 games last year, clubbed more than 200 home runs for the third consecutive season and swept the Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series.

Still, after losing Nelson Cruz, Andrew Miller and Nick Markakis to free agency and with Delmon Young possibly on the way out as well, the O's have some work to do if they want to compete for another division crown in 2015.

After being disappointing for most of the offseason by missing out on a couple coveted free agents, the Chicago Cubs made their first major free-agent splash in five years. That splash, of course, was the six-year, $155 million contract they signed ace Jon Lester to at the winter meetings.

The 2014 MLB winter meetings saw many big splashes, but the Atlanta Braves were not a part of one of them.

Despite rumors of the Braves being involved in trade talks, nothing materialized on that front.

The two main trade targets the Braves are shopping are Justin Upton and Evan Gattis, and things remained quiet on that front throughout the week, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman:

After one of the most active winter meetings in recent memory, several general managers have planted the seeds for potential dealings in the coming weeks of the offseason.

Many teams were active while in San Diego, making huge trades and signings that have already shaken up the landscape of the upcoming season. The MLB trade rumors won't stop just because the meetings are over, however.

The Cincinnati Reds made headlines Thursday with two big trades in which they parted with two of their five starting pitchers from the 2014 season.

Are there any MLB players left to trade?

With winter meetings closing shop on Thursday, teams decided to throw a massive going-away party in San Diego. A frenzy of deals hit the fan before concluding the convention, spawning many of the offseason's hottest rumors.

A lot of talented MLB trade targets are still available after the winter meetings in San Diego came to a close Thursday afternoon.

With the 2014 MLB winter meetings now in the rearview, it's time to take a look at how a busy four days in San Diego may have changed the landscape of the league looking ahead to the 2015 season.

A whopping seven 2014 All-Stars found new homes this past week, as Jon Lester, Jeff Samardzija, Dee Gordon, Yoenis Cespedes, Miguel Montero, Alfredo Simon and Pat Neshek joined new teams.

In the early a.m. on Thursday, I gave Walt Jocketty a C- for his participation in the winter meetings. This was clearly before Mr. Jocketty's phone went nitro and things started to move.
