Spring training is set to kick off in less than a month, and it has been an exciting offseason across the league this winter, as teams have tweakedand, in some cases, overhauledtheir roster for the upcoming season.


There are still a number of impact players who have yet to find homes this offseason, due in large part to the waiting game a number of teams are playing with Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka. Once he signs, the likes of Ubaldo Jimenez, Matt Garza, Ervin Santana and Bronson Arroyo will likely find homes shortly after.


On the hitting side of things, a trio of players who received qualifying offers remain on the market in Nelson Cruz, Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales. Draft-pick compensation has hurt all three of their stocks, but they should all find everyday jobs before Opening Day.


While there is still a lot to be determined, here is a look at how all 30 MLB teams grade out so far this offseason. Think of a grade of "C" as being neutral, meaning the team has not gotten any better or any worse this offseason, with the rest of the grades stemming out from there.
