The MLB offseason is heating up, and with recent signings and injuries, the landscape of the league is shifting. The Rangers have made a bold move by signing Patrick Corbin, while the Braves are taking a chance on Craig Kimbrel with a minor league deal. Meanwhile, the Cubs are promoting Matt Shaw, and the injury bug has bitten Royce Lewis and Jon Gray, who will start the season on the injured list.

As we look ahead to the season, what do you think these moves mean for the respective teams? Will Corbin be the veteran presence the Rangers need to stabilize their rotation, or is this a gamble that could backfire? Can Kimbrel find his form again in the minors and make a significant impact for the Braves later in the season?

Additionally, with the A's finalizing their rotation featuring Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs, how do you see their chances in the AL West? Will they be able to compete with the likes of the Astros and Angels, or are they destined for another rebuilding year?

And let's not forget about the injuries. How do you think the absence of players like Royce Lewis and Jon Gray will affect their teams' early-season performance? Are there any under-the-radar players you think could step up in their absence?

Lastly, with the Rays exercising options on Yandy Díaz and the ongoing discussions about stadium plans, what does the future hold for this franchise? Will they be able to maintain their competitive edge, or are they facing a crossroads?
