MLB 2025-26 offseason: Biggest needs for 10 contending teams
Copy Link
Major League Baseball's winter meetings begin next week, and, although we have seen some action already, relatively little has been resolved so far this offseason.
More than 100 relievers are unsigned, major stars from Japan remain up for grabs and many of the best free agent hitters -- Kyle Schwarber, Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette -- are still available. Some executives also expect a flurry of trades to be made, as potential dealers account for the possibility of labor strife in 2027 and make moves sooner rather than later, perhaps with the likes of MacKenzie Gore, Joe Ryan and Sandy Alcantara.
