The Orioles went heavily into free agency this offseason to try to win before Zack Britton, Adam Jones and Manny Machado can leave after 2018. Are they stopping?

Red Sox ownership was adamant it was out of the practice of giving long-term mega-deals to starters in their 30s and more leery than ever of trading prospects. Until they finished last two straight years and hired go-for-it executive Dave Dombrowski, who gave David Price a seven-year contract and gave the Padres valuable youngsters for Craig Kimbrel. Do you think he?s going to stop?

We have come this far and not mentioned what used to be the ultimate go-for-it team ? the Yankees, who could either be marketing Jose Mateo and Gary Sanchez to make a title run or punting for another day by putting Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller and Brett Gardner up for sale.

So the season begins with wondering what it means to have so many teams all in for this poker game.
