The arrival of spring training marks both the unofficial beginning of the spring season itself, and the unofficial end of baseball's offseason.
Teams don't know what their Opening Day rosters are going to look like yet, but by now they're all stocked with enough players to pick and choose from over the next few weeks. The free-agent market, meanwhile, is almost entirely dried up.
But there are still moves to be made. Michael Bourn found a home with the Cleveland Indians on Monday, leaving veteran right-hander Kyle Lohse as the lone big-name free agent still on the open market. He and other free agents will find jobs before Opening Day, and teams will be busy making trades and working out extensions as well.
With many weeks still to go until Opening Day, here are 10 moves that I see happening during spring training.
