The calendar has flipped to February and the start of Spring Training is just a matter of days away. While some notable free agents (including nine of for the 2024-25 offseason) remain unsigned, most clubs have already done the heavy lifting in terms of preparing their roster for the 2025 season. In the coming days, well be taking a look around the league at which clubs have had the strongest offseason to this point. So far, the and have decisively won the polls covering the NL East and Central respectively. Today, the focus shifts to the NL West. The west coast represents the cla s of the National League given that theyve represented the senior circuit in Paul Millsap Jersey the World Series in each of the past two seasons. The division has sent at least two teams to the postseason in each of the past five seasons, and this offseason finds three of the clubs five teams firmly in win-now contention windows while a fourth has also begun acting aggre sively. Which team has done the most to set themselves up for succe s this winter? Teams are listed in order of their 2024 record. Los Angeles Dodgers The reigning World Series champions may have stayed mostly on the sidelines during the bidding for top free agent and $765MM man , but that in no way means theyve had a quiet offseason. The Dodgers have been one of the leagues most active teams this winter, re-signing and , extending , and also making a number of additions in free agency. The club kicked off the winter by poaching lefty from their division rivals in San Francisco and havent let up since, adding to the outfield and to the infield while bolstering the bullpen with both and , arguably the two best closers available in this winters market. The most notable addition of the winter for Los Angeles, however, was surely longtime NPB phenom , who was posted despite not yet being eligible for anything more than a minor league contract and international bonus pool money. Getting Sasaki under such favorable terms would be a coup for any team, and it only serves to strengthen the Dodgers further. Thats not to say their offseason has been flawle s, however. Their roster crunch reached a point where they had to sell off some of their le s-nece sary 40-man prospects and depth pieces like , , and . Aside from that, the clubs biggest question mark in 2025 was the shortstop position, and that remains largely unaddre sed as the club plans to give veteran star another run at the position despite his lack of experience there. Even with a potential hole at short if Betts is unable to handle the position, however, the Dodgers have set themselves up well as they look to defend their World Series title in 2025. San Diego Padres Its been a quiet and disappointing offseason in San Diego amid discord within the clubs ownership group and a clear budget crunch that has hampered president of baseball operations A.J. Preller all throughout the winter. The departures of Scott, , , and in free agency have left the clubs strong core without much of its supporting cast, and San Diegos hopes of landing Sasaki were dashed by their rivals in L.A. despite a strong push that made them a finalist. The clubs only big league signing to this point in the winter has been re-signing to help shore things up behind the plate. Its a welcome addition but hardly a needle mover, and it seems as though the Padres may not be able to make more impactful additions without trading a player like or to clear salary. Arizona Diamondbacks After mi sing the playoffs by just a hair in 2024, the 2023 NL champions have not been resting on their laurels this winter. The club re-upped with yesterday to keep a key right-handed bat in the outfield mix, and while the lo ses of , , and to free agency are all sure to sting the lineup the addition of in a trade with the Guardians should help to ease that blow considerably. By far the clubs most notable addition, however, is that of . Arizona managed to reel in the offseasons top pitching free agent on a surprisingly favorable six-year guarantee, and the 2021 NL Cy Young award winner will now join at the top of an already-strong rotation that also features , , , and . With that being said, the club still has one major question mark in the lineup after letting Pedersons role as the regular DH go as-of-yet unfilled, and the clubs efforts to add a closer to their relief corps have not yet come to fruition either. San Francisco Giants Much like the Diamondbacks, the Giants offseason is highlighted by one major, splashy signing: they added shortstop to their infield on the largest free agent contract in club history, pairing him with recently-extended third baseman to form a dynamic duo on the left side of the infield for years to come. Aside from that signing, perhaps the biggest addition to the Giants organization of the offseason was longtime franchise face taking over for the exiting Farhan Zaidi as president of baseball operations. Since adding Adames just before the Winter Meetings, however, things have been fairly quiet in San Francisco. Future Hall of Famer was brought in to help anchor the rotation after Snell departed for Los Angeles, but Verlander turns 42 later this month and its fair to wonder how much he has left in the tank after a difficult 2024 season. That appears to be all the club plans to do this winter, as Posey recently suggested that the organization feels with their offseason moves despite departures like Michael Conforto and having gone as-of-yet unanswered. Colorado Rockies Coming off back-to-back 100-lo s seasons, the Rockies have continued to eschew the full rebuild strategy other bottom-feeders like the White Sox and Marlins have taken up in favor of retaining their veteran players to serve as a bridge to their younger pieces. Thats led to extremely quiet offseasons in recent years, and this one has been no exception to that. The club added some infield depth by signing and to one-year deals as they look to replace , but those are the clubs only big league free agent additions of the winter. Arguably their most impactful move was re-signing catcher on the heels of an excellent rebound season with the club last year, and he should help to solidify the catcher position until well-regarded prospect is ready to take over regular catching duties. The pitching staff has been almost entirely unaltered aside from the departures of and , however, and there hasnt been a bat brought in to replace the production of retiring franchise stalwart . __________________________________________________________ This offseason has been a bit of a mixed bag around the NL West, with three of its five clubs making multiple major additions to the roster but the other two having done very little to this point in terms of either buy-side or sell-side moves, instead largely remaining stagnant. The Dodgers have been, unsurprisingly, the most active club of the winter both within the division and arguably in baseball as a whole. With that said, however, Arizonas coup in bringing Burnes into the fold and San Franciscos record-setting deal for Adames are strong moves that could catapult either club back into the postseason after mi sing out last year. Colorados trend of modest offseasons has continued, however, and with the caveat that Preller can never be counted out when it comes to making bold moves, it seems that the Padres have elected to join them in that quiet approach to this point in the offseason.
