Barely into winter, AL West clubs have plenty of roster construction remaining. Some key situations to keep tabs on as we take an early stab at Opening Day rosters and playing time...
Tyler White was one of several unexpected performances for the only AL West club with an MLB-ready talent glut. We look at Houston's potential 2019 contributors, along with some final questions confronting the other AL West clubs.
Michael Kopech's Tommy John surgery leaves a major hole in the White Sox 2019 plans. Plus, a look at rotation and bullpen options for every other AL central team in 2019.
While RHP Ken Giles seems well on his way to locking down the Blue Jays' closer role, new faces in AL East rotations in 2019 may include Justus Sheffield (LHP, NYY) and Sean Reid-Foley (RHP, TOR), among others
CIN and PIT each have one significant FA contributor to replace in 2019, while CHC, MIL and STL have multiple decisions facing them once their playoff chases run their course.
Roster expansion and a recent trade create an abundance of options in the MIL outfield, plus CHC catchers, the PIT bullpen, middle infielders in CIN and rotation options in STL.
A trade and an injury open up playing time in the SF outfield, a familiar catcher worth a look in LA, outfielders in COL and SD, plus middle infield options in ARI.
Even beyond the near-certain departure of long-time Mgr Mike Scioscia, LAA seems to have more questions than their divisional competitors. We examine the off-season outlooks for all the AL West clubs.
Could Jake Cave's second-half success be complicating the MIN outfield playing time picture for 2019? Plus, how Eloy Jimenez might impact the CHW roster next year, the offseason OF exodus in CLE, and lineup openings in DET and KC.
