This past offseason for Major League Baseball provided a lot of excitement and much anticipation. Big name players such as Albert Pujols, Jose Reyes and Prince Fielder left their respected ball clubs for greener pastures—or greener contracts. Small-market clubs grew up in Miami and Washington following multiple signings, a high profile coaching hire and trades.
Halfway through this season, and with the deadline still a couple of weeks away, we’re yet to see a large amount of in-season trades. But, the action and storylines have not disappointed.
With almost three months of the regular season to go, there are still some big questions that remain to be answered.
Will the surprising teams continue their success?
Will this year’s disappointments right the ship in time for October?
And, of course, what team and which players will be taking home some hardware?
