Strange things are already happening this MLB offseason, but more are bound to happen in the coming months. These are five things that could happen that would shock the baseball world this winter.

The Los Angeles Angels already have a huge payroll, but it could get even bigger. Scherzer would give them the ace they so desperately need, and they shouldn't be ruled out. In fact, they could be among the favorites when it's all said and done.

4. Chicago Cubs Will Trade Starlin Castro

This would've seemed highly unlikely at the beginning of the offseason, but with the Chicago Cubs trading for Tommy La Stella, another infielder, Starlin Castro may be the odd man out. If Castro is included in a deal, expect it to be an absolute bombshell involving several stars.

3. Seattle Mariners Will Trade For Matt Kemp

The Seattle Mariners are willing to take on payroll and really want a power hitting outfielder. If they were to send top prospect Taijuan Walker to Los Angeles in exchange for Kemp, they probably wouldn't even have to pay the majority of Kemp's remaining contract. If they're trying to win now, this deal could be a no-brainer.

2. Boston Red Sox Will Sign Pablo Sandoval

The San Francisco Giants are widely seen as the heavy favorites to re-sign Sandoval, but don't write off the Boston Red Sox. They have plenty of money and want to upgrade at third base. These negotiations could shoot his price way up, and Boston is going to be willing to pay it.

After losing the best shortstop of the generation, the New York Yankees have a hole in the middle of the infield. However, the best shortstop in the game is available via trade and the Yankees have the young pitching to get a deal done. As the Yankees, they're going to be willing to take on his contract as well. Expect the Bronx Bombers to make a strong push for Tulo.
