Winter Meetings Recap: Who Came Out on Top and Who's in Trouble? 

The MLB winter meetings have wrapped up, and the landscape of baseball is shifting in some intriguing ways. The Texas Rangers emerged as clear winners, securing Nathan Eovaldi and Jake Burger, which could significantly bolster their rotation and lineup. But what does this mean for their chances next season? Are they poised to reclaim their spot at the top after a disappointing follow-up to their World Series appearance?

On the flip side, the Miami Marlins seem to have stumbled, trading away their home run leader, Jake Burger, and missing out on a top draft pick. What was the rationale behind this move? Could it be a sign of deeper issues within the organization, or is there a long-term strategy at play that we just can’t see yet?

And let’s not forget the St. Louis Cardinals, who unexpectedly landed a high draft pick. With the potential departure of stars like Nolan Arenado, how should they approach this offseason? Is it time for a full rebuild, or can they still compete in the near future?
