In our first Divisional Outlook for the AL East, we look at the questions regarding pitchers and catchers that will begin to be answered when spring training begins.

The Mets add Brandon Lyon to their bullpen, but give Frank Francisco a vote of confidence. Plus Brian McCann, Ivan Nova, Chris Carter and more.

Chris Carpenter's shoulder woes continue and the A's pick up Jed Lowrie. Plus more news and analysis from both leagues.

Corey Hart has begun rehab from his knee surgery. Plus Travis Hafner, Toronto closer news, Shaun Marcum and more ..

Michael Morse heads back to Seattle in a three-team trade, and a new catcher goes to Oakland. Also on the move, finally, is Justin Upton, with Martin Prado, among others headed in the other direction.

The Rangers sign Lance Berkman, and the Nationals land Rafael Soriano. Their arrivals have domino effects on the current rosters.

The Indians have made a year-end free agent splash with the signings of Nick Swisher and Brett Myers. Plus the Red Sox' trade for Joel Hanrahan, PIT changes closers, and more.

Josh Hamilton is an Angel, R.A. Dickey heads for Toronto, the Red Sox land Ryan Dempster and Stephen Drew, while A.J. Pierzynski signs with TEX. Plus the LAA-SEA deal, the Edwin Jackson sign with CHC and more...

Implications of traded players on the move: James Shields, Shin-Soo Choo, Trevor Bauer, Drew Stubbs. Plus free agents Zack Greinke, Brandon McCarthy, Kevin Youkilis and Mark Reynolds.

As the Winter Meetings wound down in Nashville, two of the bigger moves involved speedy outfielders switching teams... and leagues. Shane Victorino landed in Boston as a free agent, while Ben Revere was traded by the Twins to one of Victorino's former teams, the Philadelphia Phillies.

The hot stove is heating up. The Red Sox nabbed free agent Mike Napoli, while the Angels and Braves uncorked a trade sending Tommy Hanson to Anaheim for reliever Jordan Walden. Dan Haren signed with Washington, and Russell Martin with the Pirates.
