To date, the Mets and Nationals have essentially moved their respective rosters sideways since the end of last season, though Washington is reportedly still trying to trade for Marlins C J.T. Realmuto.
The Phillies signed free-agent 1B Carlos Santana, but otherwise did little else to significantly improve themselves. The same can be said for the Braves, who added LHP Scott Kazmir, RHP Brandon McCarthy, andINF Charlie Culberson by trading Matt Kemp to the Dodgers.
Meanwhile, the Marlins have systematically decimated their lineup (and helped the other four teams in the division) by trading Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna, and Dee Gordon out of the NL East.
