The unofficial end of baseball’s offseason is quickly approaching. Pitchers and catchers will begin reporting to camp next week, and soon, we’ll have a clear picture of how every team’s roster is going to look on Opening Day.
Of course, with a slew of notable free agents still available and both the inevitable injuries and surprise performances that come along with spring training, those pictures are sure to change. In fact, some teams could be ordering new photos before the exhibition games get underway.
Has a team learned from its past mistakes? Does a contender still have enough trade chips to fill multiple holes? Could we see another free-agent defection within the NL Central?
We’ll tackle all of that and more in this week’s edition of Fact or Fiction.
