The San Francisco Giants are basking in the glow of their third world championship in five years. In today's era of free agency and player movement, this is indeed a dynasty.

However, the Giants did not make a major splash in the free-agent market this winter, and one must wonder if general manager Brian Sabean has done enough to keep the Giants in contention in 2015.

Pitchers and catchers have officially begun reporting to spring training, with the first full-squad workouts slated for the middle of next week. 

MLB spring training is finally underway.

It's been a busy offseason, as busy as any in recent memory with exciting winter meetings, some big free-agent signings and no shortage of blockbuster trades.

The Boston Red Sox are set to kick off spring training this week in Fort Myers, Florida.  While there is sure to be some minor roster tinkering before Opening Day arrives, Boston is poised to enter the 2015 season with the team it currently has.

The Red Sox made several key additions this offseason, highlighted by the signings of All-Star sluggers Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez.  But, what about the moves Boston didn't make?

We've already touched on under-the-radar Boston Red Sox to watch this spring as well as hyped prospects to keep an eye on. The natural progression of things now leads us to breakout candidates. 

It wasn't long ago that Jurickson Profar looked like the future of the Texas Rangers. 

But now, you suddenly have to wonder if he even has a future with the Rangers.

Age was just a number for Jason Giambi, as he continued to defy the odds by playing Major League Baseball well into his 40s.

Toronto Blue Jays top pitching prospect Daniel Norris didn’t get a lot of attention this offseason (unless you count the attention he’s received for his nomadic lifestyle).

The Washington Nationals have one of the most well-equipped farm systems in baseball, and every year around February and March it churns out a crop of players who turn big league spring training invites into coming out parties. 

Washington's collection of 40-man roster members and 20 non-roster invitees who make up the spring training guest list all have different motives to show out in Viera, Florida. 

Everyone, Alex Rodriguez would like you to know that he's sorry.

Not that it matters for most, of course. After all he's been through, the vast majority of baseball fans are likely permanently against the New York Yankees veteran slugger. Instead of winning back the everyfan, really his only hope of redemption is to at least win back Yankees fans.

Alex Rodriguez apologized once again on Tuesday, as the New York Yankees controversial star issued a formal apology to the fans for everything about the Biogenesis situation.
