The MLB offseason can be divided into three distinct categories:

1. The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and then traded for Tyler Glasnow and gave him a big extension. The total future outlay: More than $1 billion, which if you stacked it up in $1 bills would reach 68 miles high.

2. The New York Yankees traded for Juan Soto -- and they're still looking to do more.

3. And then there's most other teams, who appear to be looking for reasons not to spend money.
