The slow-moving nature of the 2023-24 MLB offseason means there is still a ton of quality talent available in free agency, headlined by NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell and slugger Cody Bellinger, who is fresh off a bounce-back season with the Chicago Cubs.

At this point in the offseason, all 30 teams still have at least one area of the roster that needs to be addressed with an outside addition, and connecting the remaining free agents to teams makes for some fun speculation.

Ahead, we've suggested one realistic option for each team to plug its biggest remaining roster hole, based on team spending power, roster needs and any relevant rumors that have emerged in recent days.

Let this serve as a reset of sorts for what's left of the free-agent market and what is still to be done on each team's offseason shopping list.

Arizona Diamondbacks: RHP Mike Clevinger

Biggest Hole: Starting pitcher

The D-backs plugged holes in the starting rotation (Eduardo Rodriguez) and at third base (Eugenio Suarez) earlier this offseason, and they also brought back outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to shore up the offense.

They would still benefit from adding one more starting pitcher to the rotation, with Ryne Nelson (144.0 IP, 5.31 ERA, 5.07 FIP) and Tommy Henry (89.0 IP, 4.15 ERA, 4.88 FIP) the leading candidates to round out the staff.

A two-year contract with an annual value somewhere in the $15-18 million range should be enough to get a deal done with Mike Clevinger.

Atlanta Braves: OF Adam Duvall

Biggest Hole: Right-handed hitting fourth outfielder

The Braves already addressed the departure of Eddie Rosario in left field by acquiring Jarred Kelenic in a trade with the Seattle Mariners, but the young left-handed hitter would benefit from having a platoon partner.

Slugger Adam Duvall is a familiar face having played for the Braves in parts of five seasons over two different stints, and he should be available for something in the neighborhood of the one-year, $7 million deal he signed with the Boston Red Sox last winter.

Baltimore Orioles: LHP James Paxton

Biggest Hole: Veteran starting pitcher

The Orioles have yet to make the splashy addition to their young starting rotation many were expecting, and it doesn't look like a run at signing Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery is in the cards, but they were recently linked to left-hander James Paxton.

He went 5-1 with a 2.73 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 64 strikeouts in 56 innings over his first 10 starts after returning from Tommy John surgery on May 12. And while he ran out of steam a bit during the second half of the season, he has been rock solid when healthy throughout his career.

Boston Red Sox: DH/OF Jorge Soler

Biggest Hole: Designated hitter/corner outfielder

Unless the Red Sox feel comfortable giving everyday playing time to Wilyer Abreu, who has just 85 big league plate appearances under his belt, they will add at least one more bat before the offseason is over, ideally someone who can play a corner outfield spot.

Slugger Jorge Soler provides a bit more defensive value than fellow veteran hitters Justin Turner and J.D. Martinez, and while he might be best used as a designated hitter, he can at least provide a few starts each week in the outfield to help lighten the defensive load for Masataka Yoshida in left field.

Chicago Cubs: 1B/OF Cody Bellinger

Biggest Hole: Corner infielder

The Cubs finally broke their offseason silence by signing Shōta Imanaga to a four-year, $53 million deal, and their starting rotation now looks set with the Japanese League standout poised to join Justin Steele, Kyle Hendricks, Jameson Taillon and either Jordan Wicks or Javier Assad.

Newly acquired Michael Busch could fill one of the corner infield positions, with Patrick Wisdom or Nick Madrigal manning the other spot, and Mike Tauchman handling center field.

However, re-signing Cody Bellinger would bolster that entire group, providing a stopgap in center field until Pete Crow-Armstrong is ready and then a proven run producer at first base.

Chicago White Sox: 2B Adam Frazier

Biggest Hole: Second base

Nicky Lopez provides a reliable glove up the middle, but he has hit just .228/.297/.284 for a 64 OPS+ in 742 plate appearances over the last two seasons and is best served as a defensive-minded utility player.

There are a few potential low-cost veteran second base options for the White Sox to consider, including Adam Frazier, Kolten Wong, Enrique Hernández, Donovan Solano and Nick Ahmed.

Take your pick as a stopgap option who can provide a bit more offensively than Lopez.

Cincinnati Reds: RHP Ryne Stanek

Biggest Hole: Setup reliever

The Reds cobbled together a solid bullpen last season, but an alarming number of their relievers appear to be prime candidates for regression:

• Buck Farmer: 71 G, 4.20 ERA, 4.62 FIP
• Ian Gibaut: 74 G, 3.33 ERA, 4.07 FIP
• Sam Moll: 25 G, 0.73 ERA, 3.34 FIP
• Lucas Sims: 67 G, 3.10 ERA, 4.37 FIP
• Alex Young: 63 G, 3.86 ERA, 4.99 FIP

Relying on that same collection of arms to bridge the gap to All-Star closer Alexis Díaz and newly acquired setup man Emilio Pagán is risky, so signing an experienced setup man like Ryne Stanek would provide further depth.

The 32-year-old is just a year removed from logging a 1.15 ERA and 10.2 K/9 in 59 appearances.

Cleveland Guardians: DH Justin Turner

Biggest Hole: Cheap run production

The Guardians ranked dead-last in the majors with 124 home runs last season, and their 4.09 runs per game checked in 26th in the league. They are currently set to rely on Josh Naylor and Ramón Laureano as the primary protection for José Ramírez, so adding Justin Turner on a short-term deal could reshape their entire lineup.

The last time Cleveland brought aboard a veteran middle-of-the-order bat from the Boston Red Sox worked out pretty well, with Mike Napoli helping to lead the team to a World Series appearance in 2016.

Colorado Rockies: RHP Jakob Junis

Biggest Hole: Starting pitcher

The best opportunity for the Rockies to bolster their starting rotation is to provide pitchers with an opportunity they don't have elsewhere. And for Jakob Junis, a chance to win a spot in the starting rotation could lure him to Coors Field.

The slider specialist had a 4.18 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 194 strikeouts in 198 innings over the last two seasons with the San Francisco Giants, making 21 starts and 42 relief appearances during that span.

Junis, 31, earned $2.8 million in 2023, so it also wouldn't break the bank to still provide him with a considerable raise.

Detroit Tigers: IF Gio Urshela

Biggest Hole: Second baseman/third baseman

With Spencer Torkelson manning first base and Javier Báez looking for a bounce-back season as the everyday shortstop, two spots on the Detroit infield are set heading into spring training.

The other two are currently set to be manned by some combination of Zach McKinstry, Matt Vierling, Andy Ibáñez, Nick Maton, Tyler Nevin and top prospects Colt Keith and Justyn Henry-Malloy.

Veteran Gio Urshela would potentially be a short-term upgrade over everyone on that list, depending on how MLB-ready the two prospects look this spring.

Houston Astros: LHP Matt Moore

Biggest Hole: Lefty reliever

With Dusty Baker riding off into the sunset and Joe Espada now in the manager's seat for the Houston Astros, the longstanding tradition of not having a reliable left-handed reliever in the bullpen might finally come to an end.

Parker Mushinski (14 G, 5.52 ERA, 9.2 K/9) and Bennett Sousa (5 G, 0.00 ERA, 11.4 K/9) were the only southpaws to see action out of the Houston bullpen in 2023, and both are still part of the 40-man roster.

Adding Matt Moore would give the team a quality southpaw and also help ease the losses of Héctor Neris, Phil Maton and Ryne Stanek in what will be a new-look middle relief contingent.

Kansas City Royals: LHP Aroldis Chapman

Biggest Hole: Closer

The Royals signed Aroldis Chapman to a one-year, $3.75 million last offseason and ended up turning him into breakout starter Cole Ragans at the trade deadline when he was flipped to the Texas Rangers.

The team currently has some combination of Will Smith, Nick Anderson, James McArthur and Chris Stratton in the mix for the closer's role, so a reunion with Chapman to shore up the ninth inning makes sense.

The 35-year-old could also be a valuable trade chip once again if the price is right and the Royals are unable to take a step forward in the AL Central.

Los Angeles Angels: LHP Jordan Montgomery

Biggest Hole: Starting pitcher

The list of teams with money to spend and a need in the starting rotation has steadily dwindled as the offseason has progressed, leaving a limited number of potential landing spots for Jordan Montgomery given his expected asking price of over $100 million.

Outside of adding Zach Plesac, Luis García and Adam Cimber on low-cost deals, the Angels have done little of note this offseason to counter the loss of Shohei Ohtani in free agency.

Adding Montgomery to a starting rotation that also includes Reid Detmers, Griffin Canning, Patrick Sandoval and Tyler Anderson would make the staff a sneaky strength.

Los Angeles Dodgers: RHP David Robertson

Biggest Hole: Setup reliever

The Dodgers had one of baseball's best one-two punches at the back of the bullpen in 2023 with Evan Phillips (62 G, 24 SV, 6 HLD, 2.05 ERA) and Brusdar Graterol (68 G, 7 SV, 19 HLD, 1.20 ERA) slamming the door on games.

They also return veterans Caleb Ferguson, Alex Vesia and Joe Kelly, along with a potentially healthy Blake Treinen, but there is no such thing as too many quality bullpen pieces.

David Robertson has been to the postseason nine times in his 18 seasons, and he proved last season he still has plenty left in the tank with a 3.03 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10.7 K/9 while tallying 18 saves and 10 holds in 62 games.

Miami Marlins: SS Tim Anderson

Biggest Hole: Shortstop

The list of logical potential landing spots for two-time All-Star Tim Anderson is a tricky one to piece together.

The Guardians have a question mark at shortstop, but there's no chance Anderson is going to be teammates with José Ramírez. The Athletics don't have a proven option at the position, but they are also likely headed for another 100-loss season. The Giants could look for a stopgap if they don't think Marco Luciano is ready, but all signs point to him being the guy. A reunion with the White Sox doesn't seem to be in the cards.

That leaves the Marlins as perhaps the best fit, with speedy utility man Jon Berti currently penciled into the shortstop job.

Milwaukee Brewers: 1B Rhys Hoskins

Biggest Hole: First base

With Carlos Santana departing in free agency and Rowdy Tellez non-tendered, the Brewers could use an upgrade at first base.

Jake Bauers is currently the projected starter after he hit .202 with an 87 OPS+ in 272 plate appearances with the New York Yankees last season, but he is better served in a part-time or backup role.

A reunion with Santana is still a possibility, but Rhys Hoskins could be a great fit for a team that is often hesitant to hand out long-term contracts.

The 30-year-old missed the entire 2023 season with a torn ACL and could opt for a one-year deal as he looks to prove he's healthy and rebuild his stock.

Minnesota Twins: RHP Michael Lorenzen

Biggest Hole: Starting pitcher

The Twins have lost Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda in free agency, and while one of those rotation spots will be plugged by a healthy Chris Paddack, the leading candidate to fill the fifth spot is Louie Varland who had a 4.63 ERA in 68 innings last year.

Michael Lorenzen pitched well in the AL Central last season, earning an All-Star selection on a one-year deal with the Detroit Tigers.

With Pablo López and Joe Ryan fronting the rotation, they just need a veteran who can eat innings in the middle of the rotation, and Lorenzen should be available in the $12-15 million AAV range over one or two years.

New York Mets: DH J.D. Martinez

Biggest Hole: Designated hitter

With Daniel Vogelbach non-tendered, the leading candidates to fill the designated hitter role for the Mets are DJ Stewart and Mark Vientos, so it's not surprising the team has been linked to veteran slugger J.D. Martinez.

The 36-year-old posted a 134 OPS+ with 33 home runs and 103 RBI last season playing on a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he could slot in perfectly alongside Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso in the starting lineup.

New York Yankees: IF Amed Rosario

Biggest Hole: Infield depth

With Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo added to bolster the outfield and Marcus Stroman signed to fill out the starting rotation, there is no glaring hole in the Yankees starting lineup or rotation.

The biggest remaining need is some quality depth behind Gleyber Torres, Anthony Volpe and DJ LeMahieu on the infield, and Amed Rosario would be a great buy-low target who can potentially backup all three spots and step into a large role if needed.

That role is currently set to be filled by Oswald Peraza, who simply did not look like an MLB player last season when he hit .191 with a 49 OPS+ in 191 plate appearances.

Oakland Athletics: 1B/OF Garrett Cooper

Biggest Hole: Trade chips

Teams like the Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals have done a nice job finding trade chips in the free-agency bargain bin in recent years, and the Athletics should make finding some of their own a priority in the coming weeks.

Garrett Cooper was an All-Star in 2022 when he posted a 112 OPS+ in 119 games with the Miami Marlins, and he had a 17-homer, 61-RBI season last year.

The 33-year-old has seen time at first base and the corner outfield spots, and he could join Brent Rooker, Ryan Noda and Seth Brown in a rotation between first base, right field and designated hitter.

Philadelphia Phillies: RHP Héctor Neris

Biggest Hole: Late-inning reliever

With a 1.71 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 in 71 appearances last season, Héctor Neris was one of baseball's best setup relievers, and he tallied two saves and 31 holds bridging the gap to closer Ryan Pressley in the Houston bullpen.

The 34-year-old spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Phillies, including a three-year stretch when he logged 65 saves as the team's primary closer. Adding him as a right-handed option in the late innings alongside lefties José Alvarado and Gregory Soto would help ease the loss of Craig Kimbrel.

Pittsburgh Pirates: RF Joey Gallo

Biggest Hole: Cheap power

The Pirates already found one low-cost power source this offseason, signing Rowdy Tellez to a one-year, $3.2 million deal after he was non-tendered by the Milwaukee Brewers, but they could use another run producer to help take pressure off Bryan Reynolds, Ke'Bryan Hayes and Jack Suwinski.

Joey Gallo posted a 101 OPS+ with 21 home runs in 111 games playing on a one-year deal with the Minnesota Twins last season, and the two-time Gold Glove winner could slot into the starting right field job with Henry Davis set to move back behind the plate.

San Diego Padres: OF Michael A. Taylor

Biggest Hole: Outfielder

With Juan Soto and Trent Grisham both traded to the New York Yankees, the Padres are currently set to use some combination of José Azocar, non-roster invitees Cal Mitchell, Óscar Mercado and Bryce Johnson, and AFL standout Jakob Marsee alongside Fernando Tatis Jr. in the outfield.

The Angels, Padres and Pirates have all been linked to standout defensive center fielder Michael A. Taylor, who is also coming off a productive offensive season where he hit a career-high 21 home runs and tallied 13 steals.

San Francisco Giants: LHP Blake Snell

Biggest Hole: Starting pitching

The Giants made one addition to their starting rotation last week when hard-throwing reliever Jordan Hicks was signed to a four-year, $44 million deal with the intention of being used as a starter, but they still have some combination of Kyle Harrison, Keaton Winn and Tristan Beck set to occupy two spots in the rotation.

Ideally, those three up-and-comers would be competing for one rotation spot and one long relief role, and adding reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell alongside incumbent ace Logan Webb would transform the entire rotation while also providing the fanbase with a long-awaited free-agency splash.

Seattle Mariners: IF/OF Whit Merrifield

Biggest Hole: Versatile depth

The idea of Whit Merrifield as a potential fit for the Mariners was floated in the most recent version of our updated Opening Day lineup predictions a few weeks ago, and it still makes sense on paper even after the team added Luke Raley and Mitch Haniger to shore up the corner outfield spots.

The 34-year-old is, arguably, even more attractive in a super-utility role, backing up all three outfield spots and serving as a fallback plan on the infield if second baseman Luis Urías or third baseman Josh Rojas fails to produce at a level that warrants everyday playing time.

St. Louis Cardinals: LHP Josh Hader

Biggest Hole: Pitching staff

The Cardinals moved quickly to address a porous starting rotation, adding Sonny Gray, Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson in free agency, but it still feels like a stretch to call the pitching staff a strength.

With the Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers looking less and less likely as potential landing spots for All-Star closer Josh Hader, finding a good fit for the electric left-hander is becoming a bit difficult. Adding him to the back of the St. Louis bullpen alongside Ryan Helsley and Giovanny Gallegos would bolster the entire pitching staff, shortening games to help take pressure off an old rotation.

Tampa Bay Rays: C Yasmani Grandal

Biggest Hole: Catcher

Back in 2019, the Rays plucked Travis d'Arnaud from the scrapheap and helped revitalize his career when he posted a 108 OPS+ with 16 home runs and 67 RBI in 92 games before joining the Atlanta Braves in free agency during the offseason.

They could take a similar buy-low approach with Yasmani Grandal, who just wrapped up a four-year, $73 million deal with the Chicago White Sox in disappointing fashion.

The 35-year-old could serve as a platoon partner with defensive-minded René Pinto, who is currently the only catcher on Tampa Bay's 40-man roster.

Texas Rangers: RHP Ryan Brasier

Biggest Hole: Late-inning reliever

Uncertainty surrounding their TV deal has seemingly made the Rangers hesitant to make any major free-agency additions this winter, settling so far for signing injured starter Tyler Mahle (2/$22M) and veteran reliever Kirby Yates (1/$4.5M).

The bullpen was the team's biggest hole last year, and while a full season of Jose Leclerc and an emerging Josh Sborz help, it still looks like a weakness.

Right-hander Ryan Brasier is drawing widespread interest after posting a 0.70 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 10 holds in 39 games with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year after he was released by the Boston Red Sox in May.

Toronto Blue Jays: 3B Matt Chapman

Biggest Hole: Second base/third base

It feels like the Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays are each going to sign one of Cody Bellinger and Matt Chapman, and with Bellinger projected to return to the Cubs earlier in this article, it's a reunion for Chapman and the Blue Jays as well.

The team currently has Davis Schneider, Cavan Biggio, Santiago Espinal and Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the mix for playing time at second base and third base, and pushing that group into a second base platoon and utility infielder role strengthens the lineup as a whole.

Washington Nationals: OF Eddie Rosario

Biggest Hole: Trade chips

The Nationals did a great job bargain hunting last offseason when they signed Jeimer Candelario to a one-year, $5 million deal after he was non-tendered by the Detroit Tigers, and they also received useful production from Trevor Williams and Dominic Smith on the cheap.

They look like a prime landing spot for one of the mid-tier bats still looking for a new contract, and Eddie Rosario would provide the lineup with a streaky-but-productive bat after he posted a 100 OPS+ with 21 home runs and 74 RBI in 2023 before having his club option declined by the Atlanta Braves. On a low-cost, one-year deal, it's easy to envision him playing his way to being a useful trade chip.
