Shelby Miller has been the Cardinals organization's top prospect for the last three years or so.  Finally, in September, Cardinal fans were graced with Miller's presence on the big stage.

Shelby pitched fairly well in his first stint with the big league club. 

It's the Holiday season and several Major League Baseball teams have been busy shopping.

Who made out the best?

While Michael Bourn, Kyle Lohse and Rafael Soriano are some of the few lingering free agents on the market who could have a tremendous impact on whichever team they land with, they are all non-factors in this list.

Here is a power ranking of players who have been signed so far this winter with a break down of what each team will be getting for their money.

The Toronto Blue Jays are arguably the favorite to win the American League East.  

It's without doubt that they have had the most busy offseason of any team in Major League Baseball.

With an offseason that has already rocketed the Toronto Blue Jays to the top of the baseball world, would anyone really be surprised if general manager Alex Anthopoulos was to pull off another move?

The Major League Baseball world was dealt a sad blow Saturday night with the death of former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Ryan Freel.

Firstcoastnews.com reporter Chad Cushnir had the report:

Everyone knows baseball games are won on the field, but winning games is made easier if a team has a good general manager. The offseason is a busy time for front offices, as they try to construct teams that will be competitive during the coming season.

This year there have been four GMs who have really made a statement about the direction they are taking their team and have delivered with big home runs.

The Boston Red Sox made a move to shore up the back end of their bullpen by trading for two-time All-Star closer Joel Hanrahan.

Raul Ibanez is 40 years old, but apparently the Seattle Mariners still believe that the left-handed power-hitter can contribute.

Ibanez appeared in 130 games for the New York Yankees in 2012. He faced right-hand pitching almost exclusively in that time.

The Seattle Mariners need a boost offensively, and they're hoping Raul Ibanez can supply some pop in his return.

According to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Mariners and Ibanez have reached an agreement:

It was rather shocking to see Michael Bourn's name linked to the New York Yankees this winter.

It's shocking because the Yankees already have their outfield all set for the 2013 season with Brett Gardner in left, Curtis Granderson in center and the recently re-signed Ichiro Suzuki in right.
