The Los Angeles Dodgers have the best roster in baseball, arguably by a decent margin, but that didn’t stop the San Diego Padres from reportedly acquiring pitchers Yu Darvish and Blake Snell, along with Korean shortstop Ha-Seong Kim in the past two days.
The Washington Nationals are trying to catch the Atlanta Braves, so they swung a trade for switch-hitting slugger Josh Bell. The New York Mets, who already signed catcher James McCann, are expected to be one of the most active teams this winter.
Meanwhile, the moves that National League Central teams have made are putting up for sale signs.
