"The MLB offseason is slowly plodding along as a handful of major free agents find new homes. The AL East has been front and center with the majority of the activity taking place among those five teams this winter. The Toronto Blue Jays should be feeling good about the additions they have made to a roster that almost won a World Series."
"5. Ben Rice The Yankees first base situation is currently manned by Ben Rice. Rice started 48 games at designated hitter, 46 games at first base and 26 games at catcher for the Yankees last season. The native of Massachusetts slashed .255/.337/.499 with 26 home runs, 65 RBIs and a OPS in 138 games. The question is can he sustain that level of production again next season?"
MLB offseason activity has concentrated in the AL East, with several teams adjusting rosters and the Blue Jays adding pieces after nearly winning a World Series. Division rivals have upgraded at first base, increasing competition. The Yankees currently have Ben Rice splitting time at designated hitter, first base and catcher; he slashed .255/.337/.499 with 26 home runs and 65 RBIs in 138 games, prompting questions about sustainability. The Red Sox acquired Willson Contreras from St. Louis; he hit .257/.344/.447 with 20 home runs and 80 RBIs in 135 games and provides flexibility while Triston Casas completes rehab.
