Some would say that compiling a list of the offseason's biggest steals and mistakes with more than a month to go before spring training begins—and a handful of impact players still available via free agency and trade—is an effort in futility.
After all, teams are sure to make some decisions that will change this list over the next four weeks or so. But there's no time like the present to look back on what's unfolded in the baseball universe over the past three months.
Now this entire exercise is largely subjective—there's no convoluted formula or advanced statistics to aid us in our quest—and there are sure to be some disagreements over which moves were mistakes, which were steals and where they were ranked.
While we're largely focusing on moves that were made, moves that teams didn't make are fair game as well. So don't be surprised if you happen to see a player (or players) appear more than once on this list.
What decisions made the cut? Let's take a look.
