Who needs what? A primer to the Meetings

The Collective Bargaining Agreement is done and the Hot Stove season, which has already seen aggressive action on the parts of the Astros, Braves, Mets and others, is free to proceed unfettered by labor strife.

With the Winter Meetings set to begin Monday in National Harbor, Md., these are the 10 biggest holes contending teams still need to fill this offseason.

MLB.com and MLB Network will have wall-to-wall coverage of the 2016 Winter Meetings from the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center outside Washington, D.C. Fans can watch live streaming of all news conferences and manager availability on MLB.com, including the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 8 at 9 a.m. ET.

1. Dodgers: Right-handed bat

There are multiple places the Dodgers can fulfill this need — second base, third base or possibly the outfield. But fill it they must. Even if they re-sign Justin Turner at the hot corner, there’s a need to find somebody to lend a (right) hand elsewhere, because the Dodgers’ .623 OPS against lefties last season was dead last in baseball.

Andrew McCutchen, Ryan Braun, Todd Frazier, Ian Kinsler and Brian Dozier are among the trade possibilities here. And, of course, the Dodgers could also stand to land a rotation arm and need multiple bullpen pieces. They’ll be busy.

2. Nationals: Closer

The “host” team at the Winter Meetings is going to be a fascinating one to watch. As of this writing, they are making an effort to land McCutchen from the Pirates, which would allow Trea Turner to go back to shortstop. They’ve been linked to Chris Sale. But just because of the way things were going for this club in the ninth inning before Mark Melancon arrived last summer, we’ll put closer as their biggest need now that Melancon is on the open market.

Manager Dusty Baker would certainly love to reunite with Aroldis Chapman. Kenley Jansen is out there, as well as Melancon. Wade Davis and Alex Colome are among the trade possibilities.

3. Giants: Closer

The sting of that ninth-inning collapse against the Cubs in Game 4 of the National League Division Series and manager Bruce Bochy’s helpless look as he tried reliever after reliever in a futile attempt to prevent the inevitable still lingers. It ended a legendary even-year run and it wasn’t terribly surprising, given that the Giants’ bullpen had a league-high 30 blown saves in 2016.

A pretty glaring need here, and the Giants could look to fill it with one of the ninth-inning names mentioned above. But with multiple needs in the back end, they could reunite with Santiago Casilla, Sergio Romo or Javier Lopez and investigate the markets for the likes of Junichi Tazawa, Neftali Feliz, Boone Logan, Brad Ziegler and Mike Dunn.

4. Rangers: A bat

They’re hoping Andrew Cashner can emerge as the No. 3 rotation weapon they need behind Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish. Whether or not that’s the case, Texas definitely has holes to fill in the lineup, with Prince Fielder long since retired and Carlos Beltran, Carlos Gomez, Ian Desmond and Mitch Moreland all having reached free agency.

The Rangers can go about this any number of …
