While there are still a few weeks before pitchers and catchers report to camp and about a month before the exhibition season gets underway, make no mistake about it—baseball season is nearly upon us.
Sure, a number of notable free agents still need to find new homes, and a handful of trades figure to go down between now and Opening Day, but we have a pretty good idea how each MLB team's roster will look once the games begin to count.
So what better time to check on the stock of each contending club?
Initially, we were only going to focus on those teams that either made the postseason or came within five games of reaching the playoffs. But simply too many teams that had hugely successful offseasons fell outside those parameters for us to go down that route.
As a result, we've pegged 19 teams as legitimate contenders heading into spring training. And yes, that number figures to increase, as clubs on the fence add additional pieces. Parity in baseball is alive and well.
The focus will be on the comings and goings from each team's roster.
Who got better, who got worse, and who looks pretty much the same as they did at the end of the 2015 season? Let's take a look.
