The Sprint To Build MLB Contenders

Major League Baseball Opening Day is just three weeks away, and we’ve seen a wave of significant deals as teams scramble to put together their rosters. Today, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Stephen Nesbitt to break down some of those key moves — including the World Series champion Braves’ acquisition of Matt Olson, and the big waves made by the Mariners, Mets and others — as we fly toward the start of the season. Plus, with Kris Bryant signing with the Rockies on Wednesday, what’s next for unsigned free agents Carlos Correa and Trevor Story? (Also: With the news breaking very early on Thursday that Freddie Freeman is signing with the Dodgers, Stephen tells us just how dangerous L.A.'s roster could be.)
