Relight the hot stove!
After one of the wildest free agency periods we've seen in recent history -- with more than $1.7 billion committed to players in a frenzied few days at the end of November -- MLB locked out the players for the first time since 1990.

What does each team need to do to win a World Series? How do the available free agents stack up? Which teams are about to make blockbuster trades? We've got all the latest news and analysis right here.
