Following weeks of seeing candidates remove themselves from consideration even before an interview, the Boston Red Sox are finally going to appoint someone in charge of the front office.
One year ago, with a roster crunch approaching, the Washington Nationals elected to non-tender right-hander Erick Fedde, a move that seemingly made a lot of sense given the pitcher's production and knowing that he would be out of options once the 2023 season began.
While speculation surrounding whom the Boston Red Sox will hire as their next general manager has run a wide spectrum of candidates, it is possible the team's best option has been a part of its front office all along.
The free-agent pitching market is limited in higher-end right-handed options. Tyler Glasnow should be an intriguing option to some teams if the Rays do make him available.
Numerous players stood out at last spring's World Baseball Classic, but few wowed quite like Yariel Rodriguez. Used as a starter by the Cuban squad, Rodriguez showcased an upper-90s fastball and a slider with extreme movement.
Extending power-hitting and fan-favorite slugger Pete Alonso may have just become more expensive for the New York Mets. The soon-to-be 29-year-old has hired Scott Boras as his new agent.
For the first time since 2017, the Diamondbacks are in the postseason. The club took significant steps forward this season, improving their record by 10 wins from 2022 while infusing some rookies into key roles in the lineup, and ultimately earned a wild-card spot.
Extra-innings games have not been kind to the San Diego Padres this season.

Superior pitching, a breakthrough behind the plate, and a return to form in left field helped carry the Milwaukee Brewers to the NL Central crown, but the club will still have opportunities to improve this offseason.
Toronto rode a high-powered offense and a consistently reliable starting rotation (four players made 30+ starts) to a wild-card spot but the organization will have questions to address this offseason.
The Phillies rode a hot streak to a World Series appearance a year ago, only to spend the offseason making incremental changes.

All has not gone according to plan on the north side of Chicago, but the Cubs still find themselves in contention for a wild-card spot, a feat that almost feels like a disappointment given how winnable the NL Central appeared to be.
