Mychal Givens should start the season as Orioles closer, but how close is Hunter Harvey to mounting a challenge? Also: Ragged rotation in BOS, Plan B for saves in NYY, slimmed-down Lowe's hopes of sneaking into role in TAM and a bench battle in TOR.
Breaking down the options at the back of the ARI rotation, plus the new-look LA outfield, 2B options in SF, 1B in COL, and the suddenly formidable SD bullpen.
In a somewhat overlooked development, SEA is saying that Shed Long will be their Opening Day 2B over Dee Gordon. We take first looks at the divisional 2B playing time battles as spring training opens.
Who are some of the candidates to fill in for Hamels in the ATL rotation? Plus: Villar in MIA, NYM LF competition, finding a position for Segura in PHI, 1B in WAS, and more.
There are a trio of candidates for one spot in the CHC outfield. Plus, exciting depth options in the STL outfield, less exciting depth options for the MIL outfield, the woeful catching situation in PIT, and Raisel Iglesias's hold on saves in CIN.
The recent signings of Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama have created a crowded outfield in CIN. Plus, rotation overviews for CHC and MIL, the young infield in PIT, and the closer situation in STL.
Shohei Ohtani will be 18 months past Tommy John surgery on Opening Day. But when he next pitches for LAA is still one of their many rotation questions. The OAK OF outlook, SEA catchers, TEX 1B and more...
