There are a lot of possibilities out there this offseason, and the surprises will be just as entertaining as the ones we see coming from a mile away. Will there be a blockbuster trade this year? Do Harper or Machado go to a team we never expected? We’re tracking all of the rumors popping up this offseason and you can find them all here.
