Rankings/List

After getting started with a look at the top starting pitchers available this winter, the B/R MLB Offseason 100 will now turn its attention to the guys who live in the bullpen.

Oh, the elusive championship. Teams spend countless seasons hunting for it. Some make it to the top while others are left clamoring in the dust, looking like a character out of Mad Max.

When a franchise finally is able to nab a championship, things tend to change.

Our goal here was to analyze 10 changes that happen and explain each element in detail. Whether it's how these wins affect a city's economy or how coaches are suddenly given more slack, these changes are evident.

Bust—it's a word with a negative connotation.

That's even truer in sports, as the term "bust" sticks with a player throughout his career. Over the next few slides, we'll identify our all-bust team filled with free agents that could potentially flop next season. 

By sifting through stats, we can see trends that are developing during a player's career. Home runs, RBI and ERA are nice, but they don't always tell the entire story. 

While you're scanning a list of potential free agents that will be available this winter, don't forget there should be a handful of impact players available via trade over the coming months.

Over the next few slides, we'll identify a few major leaguers entering the final year of their contracts who could be trade candidates during the offseason. 

On Saturday at 12:01 a.m. ET, MLB free agents will officially be free to sign with any club. With 139 names on the free-agent list, there is plenty of intrigue as the hot-stove season gets set to fire up.

The 2015 MLB season has come to a close, but that doesn't mean baseball is done for the year. In fact, many 2016 storylines will be molded over the next few months during free agency. 

Over the next few slides, we'll take a look at a handful of the hottest questions that need to be answered this winter. 

Now that the World Series and, with it, the 2015 Major League Baseball season have been put to bed, it's time for dozens upon dozens of players to pack their bags and get ready to move. 

Where these players will be moving is a job for a crystal ball. But if all you want is to know which of them are this offseason's most desirable free-agent and trade targets, we can help with that.

Let the rumors fly…as if they haven’t been already. 

Following one of the most eventful and entertaining offseasons in recent memory, which was followed by a busy and surprising non-waiver trade deadline, this fall and winter has quite a billing to live up to. Based on the free-agent class and potential trade targets, it is not likely to disappoint.

With the 2015 World Series in the books and the offseason officially underway, let's put a bow on the 2015 season with one final edition of MLB power rankings.

Each team's spot in the following rankings reflects its overall performance in 2015, so the 10 postseason teams will be at the top, and the further they advanced in the playoffs, the higher they will be ranked.
