State of the AL East: What's next for Yankees, Red Sox, Jays, Rays and O's

Key Highlights

• On the other side, the Boston Red Sox are the only MLB club yet to sign a free agent to a major league contract (in addition to losing free agent Alex Bregman to the Chicago Cubs over the weekend), but they have made three significant trades to improve their roster. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles have been active in free agency and trades, aggressively improving their roster after a disappointing last-place finish.
• The New York Yankees, who are in a stalemate with free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger, have primarily retained secondary contributors on one-year contracts.
• And the Tampa Bay Rays have continued conducting their usual budget-conscious operations to compete with their richer foes. Let's take a look at each team's offseason activity and what might come next.
• Additionally, we've assigned each team an urgency rating -- from one to five, based on how much each still needs to accomplish before reporting to camp:1 -- Their work is (basically) done.2 -- They're having a strong winter, but more would help.3 -- We'll judge their winter on where it goes from here.4 -- We're waaaaaiting ...5 -- It has been a disaster.
