The World Series is over and so is the 2014 Major League Baseball season. But don't fret, don't dare be upset! The end of games merely means there's weeks and months of endless rumors and speculation about signings, trades and transactions, as well as, you know, actual signings, trades and transactions to look forward to.
Since teams make these moves over the winter in hopes of reaching the playoffs the following fall, let's take a stab at figuring out how a handful of clubs that spent this year as non-contenders actually could turn things around in short order and get there next season.
To be considered, teams must have not only finished 2014 with a losing record (i.e., out of contention) but also have some legitimate hopes for making a playoff push in 2015.
While there are other teams—like the Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros in the American League, as well as the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League—that need to be active and get work done this winter, they're too far away to reach contender status between now and next year.
These five, however, just might.
