Final week, Main League Baseball’s 30 workforce homeowners voted unanimously to lock out the players. MLB‘s offseason has, consequently, come to a pause. Groups usually are not permitted to signal free brokers, or to commerce gamers who’re a part of the union throughout the work stoppage. (Minor leagues can nonetheless be traded.) It might be a while, then, till the fates of Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman, and the opposite high remaining free brokers are revealed — to say nothing of the gamers, like Matt Olson and Sonny Grey, who might be traded earlier than spring coaching.

Whereas we anticipate the return of the recent range, we figured we would mark the event by grading every workforce’s offseason up to now. You could find the total grades beneath, however please observe that this report card (or is it extra of a progress report?) is damaged down division by division, and that that is principally for leisure functions. (Hey, we may all use a distraction lately, proper?)

Let’s get to it.
