There’s still snow on the ground in the Northeast but the reporting of pitchers and catchers signifies, like the Groundhog, that spring is coming fast.
With such a busy offseason it may be tricky to remember who went where. Here’s a tracker of the comings and goings for the five AL East teams. To keep my sanity I’ve tried to limit it to players significant to this season (future prospects not be included). I may have missed a relief pitcher or two; they change uniforms on a weekly basis.

Who’s Gone: Nick Swisher, Russell Martin, Raul Ibanez, Rafael Soriano, Eric Chavez, Freddy Garcia, Andruw Jones, Casey McGehee

Let me know if I’m missing anyone (although if it’s a reliever, he may be gone again before you hit ‘Enter’).
