As the 2018 fantasy baseball season approaches, USA TODAY Sports will take a look at the important offseason news and potential story lines from each major league team. We’ll feature one each weekday … and we’ll finish up on Feb. 16, the day all teams will have their pitchers and catchers on the field for workouts.

Due to a terribly slow start to the hot stove season, several of these may be less than fully complete and need to be updated later with major free-agent signings and trades. So keep checking back.
