(and one day) ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed long-time ace Clayton Kershaw to what, at the time, was the most expensive contract in franchise history.

Filling needs with all-stars was the route the Arizona Diamondbacks have taken this winter, earning an A in ESPN's mid-offseason grades.

Opening Day for the Diamondbacks' regular season is a night game at Chase Field on March 27 at 7:10 p.m., against the Chicago Cubs. Arizona's opening series is four games against the Cubs from March 27 to March 30, all starting at different times.

Spring training is less than a month away, but there is still plenty of MLB offseason business to tackle. A handful of notable players remain on the free-agent market, including Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso and Anthony Santander.

Even though it had been nearly three weeks since ace right-hander Corbin Burnes had agreed with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a $210 million, six-year deal, it was still a little stunning to see him in the team's jersey at Chase Field on Wednesday.

This is how it feels, anyway, and it isn't just because the Dodgers were revealed as the winners of the Rōki Sasaki sweepstakes on Friday. It is a big deal that one of the most talented pitchers on Earth is destined for Dodger Blue, but there's more going on here.

The Los Angeles Dodgers may have to watch one of their pitchers bolt in free agency to sign a massive deal with the San Francisco Giants.

Last season the Diamondbacks led the major leagues in runs scored. Next season they could have one of the National League's top rotations.

Although the Guardians made their way to the AL Championship Series in 2024, Chris Antonetti, Mike Chernoff and co. saw that maybe changes to the lineup, overall approach and financial strategy of the team were still necessary.

You can’t hit a home run from the dugout. The Padres were right to pursue Roki Sasaki, even though, by the time the Japanese pitching ace chose Friday to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, much of their offseason had come and gone to little effect.
