We’ve tried our hand at predicting each team’s Opening Day roster a few times so far this offseason, but now that we have some actual spring action to base things on, here’s a significantly more in-depth dive into each team’s likely roster.
What follows is a projected 25-man roster for each team.
Player names in bold on the rosters are viewed as locks, and we didn’t waste time discussing their status.
However, for the handful of players on each team who are not locked into a spot, we provided a breakdown of why that player was the choice, as well as a look at other potential candidates for the job.
Any player in italics on the other candidates list is a non-roster invitee, so he would need to be added to the 40-man roster to make the team.
Things will continue to change with the inevitable injuries, breakout performances and last-minute trades or free-agent signings, but for now, this should give a good idea of what each team could look like when Opening Day rolls around.
