MLB Teams Best Positioned to Make Big Roster Improvements Ahead of Spring Training

With only about six weeks remaining before pitchers and catchers report to their respective camps, there are still quite a few free agents available to the highest bidders looking to make big roster improvements before spring training.

To be clear, though, "make big roster improvements" doesn't just mean "spend for a top-of-the-line free agent." Most of the teams on this list presumably could do that, but improving via trade is also on the table here.

As such, in addition to current estimated payroll, we've made note of where each of the teams ranked in Joel Reuter's updated farm system rankings from earlier this week, as well as any trade chips already at the MLB level who stand out as players who could be on the move.
