THREE EARN A, 3 AN F

There’s really no “winning” the offseason, since money alone can’t guarantee success for Major League Baseball teams. And many paths can constitute success, given how close a franchise might be to fulfilling its championship dreams.

With that, USA TODAY Sports has levied its grades for the winter quarter, with almost all offseason trades, signings and other transactions complete.

A look at the top marks and borderline failures in the American and National Leagues, with spring training camps set to open in less than two weeks and all 30 teams scheduled for opening day on March 30.
