From the reloaded Chicago Cubs to the restocked San Francisco Giants, there's no shortage of teams who have gone big during the MLB offseason.
Now that the hype machine is in full swing, it's time to look back at the winter and predict which club's offseason activity will translate to regular (and post) season success.
The first step was to scan the entire league to single out the franchises who have moved the most aggressively since the close of the 2016 campaign.
The next step was to consider whether these teams successfully addressed their most pressing issues from last year, how fierce the landscape of their respective divisions figure to be and whether they can count on any holdovers turning in strong bounce-back seasons after a lackluster 2015.
All six of the "rebuilt" clubs made important improvements to their roster, and in the case of the Cubs, that roster was already ridiculously good.
