The MLB offseason has seen nearly $2 billion spent, with Juan Soto's record-breaking $765 million contract leading the charge. While Soto shines as the biggest winner, the Houston Astros have faltered, trading Kyle Tucker and failing to re-sign Alex Bregman. The Chicago Cubs have improved by acquiring Tucker, while the Milwaukee Brewers have lost key players like Willy Adames and Devin Williams.
Left-handed pitchers have thrived this offseason, with Max Fried and Blake Snell securing lucrative deals. However, corner infielders remain unsigned, indicating a market shift. The Oakland Athletics have made strides by signing Luis Severino and acquiring Jeffrey Springs, positioning themselves for a potential postseason push.
Meanwhile, the AL Central teams have been notably quiet, with minimal activity and trades that raise questions about their competitiveness in 2025.
