The offseason for several Major League Baseball teams has been surprisingly quiet as the holiday season approaches. While big-market teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, and New York Yankees have been active, others such as the Atlanta Braves and Toronto Blue Jays have struggled to make significant moves.
The Atlanta Braves, hindered by injuries in 2024, have not made impactful signings, losing key players like Max Fried and Travis d’Arnaud. They may need to look for a veteran pitcher to fill gaps in their rotation.
Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays, coming off a disappointing season, are under pressure to make changes. Despite pursuing high-profile free agents, they have yet to secure any major additions. The urgency is palpable as key players approach free agency.
The San Diego Padres face financial challenges as their roster costs rise, prompting potential trades to create space for new acquisitions. The Detroit Tigers have made a modest signing but need to build on their surprising 2024 performance to remain competitive.
Lastly, the Washington Nationals have remained inactive, leaving fans concerned about their future direction. With a low payroll and a need for impactful signings, the Nats must decide how to navigate their next steps.
