The New York Yankees have had an eventful offseason despite not making any major splashes, yet there is still some work to do.

They have already found Derek Jeter's successor in Didi Gregorius, traded for young starter Nathan Eovaldi, re-signed third baseman Chase Headley, brought in reliever Andrew Miller and made a handful of other smaller moves, so it has not exactly been quiet on the Yankees' front.

Marcus Stroman’s graduation to big league starter last season put a temporary dent in the Toronto Blue Jays' system, but right-hander Aaron Sanchez, lefty Daniel Norris and center fielder Dalton Pompey each picked up the slack in his absence, as all three prospects finished the year in the major leagues.

One of the Los Angeles Dodgers' biggest weaknesses last season was their bullpen.

It was no secret, and the numbers didn't lie. Los Angeles relievers in 2014 surrendered more earned runs than 18 other bullpens in the majors, and only four other relief corps finished the year with a higher walk rate.

Journeyman Emilio Bonifacio has a new home.  

On Tuesday afternoon, a handful of former MLB players' lives may change forever. 

When the 2015 MLB Hall of Fame voting results are announced on Tuesday, Jan. 6, at 2 p.m. ET, a lucky few will go from great players to legends. From "I remember that guy" to, "I'll never forget that guy." From star to Hall of Famer. 

What once was a tremendous responsibility that brought joy and awe has degenerated into an exercise in frustration. But I'm not going to bore you with whining no matter what the Steroid Era has wrought, because let's be honest: Being entrusted with a Hall of Fame ballot remains a tremendous responsibility, no matter what.

So my 16th Hall of Fame ballot has been cast, and before I get into the names, there are a few things you should know.

It may appear as if most of baseball is still sleeping off the effects of their New Year's Eve festivities given the relative lack of action and chatter on the rumor mill, but rest assured, general managers are indeed awake, and sooner rather than later, we're going to see some deals come to fruition.

When it becomes this meaningful, there is bound to be impactful fallout.

The 2015 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame voting results will be announced Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET, and if not much else, we already know that this ballot is one of the most intriguing in the history of the prestigious building at 25 Main St. in Cooperstown, New York.

The Baseball Writers' Association of America will announce the 2015 MLB Hall of Fame class Tuesday, Jan. 6, at 2 p.m. ET, as this year's crop of candidates will look to follow up what was an impressive 2014 class.

John Smoltz, Mike Mussina, Curt Schilling...or all of the above? It's a question Hall of Fame voters wrestled with this year (we'll find out what they concluded on Tuesday), and it's a damn tough one.
