The Red Sox are the most improved team of the winter, with the addition of Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler at the front of the rotation.

Houston Astros will have a different look to them for the first time in several years .

The Cubs have the look of the old San Francisco teams that were really good at playing low-scoring games.

The Royals will hope to hold the ground they gained after last year's miracle turnaround.

The Blue Jays have had the worst winter of any team attempting to get better.

The Angels were the strike-quick team of the winter.
