Three potential offseason targets for the Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles is in an envious position as they head into the postseason once again.

Three potential offseason targets for the Tampa Bay Rays

Tampa Bay started the year on such a hot streak it was unclear if any team would catch them. Injuries took their toll on the pitching staff but it didn't slow the Rays down.

Three potential offseason targets for the Houston Astros

As the Astros head to the postseason once again, there aren't many glaring holes in the Houston lineup if you look beyond first base. Here are three free agents that Houston could consider targeting.

Three potential offseason targets for the Milwaukee Brewers

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. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Toronto Blue Jays

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.

Three potential offseason targets for the Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies rode a hot streak to a World Series appearance a year ago, only to spend the offseason making incremental changes. This year the club is bound for the playoffs once again, but this offseason figures to be different. Philadelphia will have questions to address, starting with Aaron Nola's future. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Minnesota Twins

The right offseason additions might put the Twins in a spot to hold onto the division title for years to come. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Chicago Cubs

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. With the right offseason additions, the Cubs could be primed to be a favorite in the division next year. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Texas Rangers

Spending big in free agency has become routine for the Texas Rangers, but much of those efforts have been focused on the starting rotation and infield. Strategically addressing the rest of the roster this offseason may let the Rangers take another step forward in 2024. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Seattle Mariners

It had been a 21-year drought for the Seattle Mariners before the club made the postseason in 2022 and now they are on the verge of making it for the second year in a row. Still, even teams built to content consistently will seek upgrades in the offseason.

Three potential offseason targets for the Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox's 2023 season will end disappointingly, and there will be change beyond the front office following the club's decision to fire Chaim Bloom as chief baseball officer. A new front office will need to make changes if it expects the club to compete next year in the AL East. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Arizona Diamondbacks

Led by a youthful outfield and rotation ace Zac Gallen the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks have kept themselves in the wild-card hunt most of the season but may still lack the depth to challenge the National League's top contenders. 

Three potential offseason targets for the New York Yankees

Fighting to stay above .500 was not how the New York Yankees expected to spend the 2023 season but it's where they have found themselves, facing an offseason with a lot of questions and a roster looking at change. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Cincinnati Reds

The right additions this offseason could set the Reds up for a serious run in 2024 and beyond. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Miami Marlins

General manager Kim Ng's first unencumbered offseason resulted in some risky moves that have paid off in Miami, as the Marlins chase a wild-card spot. This offseason should be about letting Ng (once the club extends her as her contract is up at season's end) add the next pieces. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Cleveland Guardians

Cleveland will look to upgrade as the AL Central continues to be up for grabs.

Three potential offseason targets for the San Francisco Giants

Taking a look at three players the San Francisco Giants would be wise to pursue this offseason.

Three potential offseason targets for the Detroit Tigers

The Tigers have a young core of players to build around but need to smartly complement it as they look for traction it what should once again be a wide open AL Central. 

Three potential offseason targets for the San Diego Padres

San Diego entered the 2023 season as a favorite to challenge the Dodgers in the NL West, but the year has been a total disappointment for the Padres. This offseason they'll need to strategically retool if they hope to compete next season.

Three potential offseason targets for the Pittsburgh Pirates

Youth and patience have been virtues the Pirates have stood behind in recent years and some of those efforts started to show dividends in 2023. Now the club must look to continue building.  

Three potential offseason targets for the Los Angeles Angels

Will Shohei Ohtani leave as a free agent? Will Mike Trout ask to be traded? Will Arte Moreno revisit selling the franchise? There are major questions facing the Los Angeles Angels this offseason following yet another disappointing season.

Three potential offseason pitching targets for the New York Mets

The New York Mets will head into the offseason seeking pitching following a challenging and disappointing 2023 season, but it remains unclear who exactly will be running the club's front office. That could ultimately play a key impact in the exact approach the Mets pursue. 

Three potential offseason targets for the Nationals

With their high-spending rivals sitting atop the division standings, the Washington Nationals are once again facing an offseason of adding supplemental pieces rather than pursuing franchise-altering stars.

Three potential offseason targets for the Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox is facing a lot of pressure this offseason to make moves that produce results. Here's three possibly targets for them.

Three potential offseason targets for the Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies thought they'd see progress following a 2022 season in which the club lost 94 games, but 2023 has proven to be more of the same. Once again they'll be heading into the offseason looking for ways to improve.
