Although the Hot Stove season is in its early stages, it’s not too soon to start wondering how each club could look next spring.

With that in mind, we asked each of the 30 MLB.com beat reporters to predict the 2021 Opening Day roster for their team. A lot could change between now and Opening Day, but here’s where things stand at this juncture.

AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST

Blue Jays
Toronto will hope to see continued growth from its young core of position players -- a group that includes Bo Bichette, Teoscar Hernández, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Alejandro Kirk. The rotation is mostly settled as well, as Hyun Jin Ryu, Nate Pearson, Robbie Ray and Tanner Roark are locks. More >

Orioles
Trey Mancini, who missed all of last season following a Stage III colon cancer diagnosis, and Adley Rutschman, the club's No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline, could eventually play big roles for the Orioles in 2021, but it remains unlikely that either will be on the team’s Opening Day roster. More >

Rays
Coming off a trip to the World Series, the Rays will likely have a similar look to start off 2021, especially if they re-sign free agents Charlie Morton and Mike Zunino. Postseason superstar Randy Arozarena, who didn’t play his first game last season until Aug. 30, is now locked into a starting job. More >

Red Sox
Boston hopes to have Eduardo Rodriguez back after the lefty missed 2020 due to COVID-19 and myocarditis, and youngsters Bobby Dalbec and Tanner Houck will try to build on their strong showings in a limited sample size last season. More >

Yankees
For now, Gary Sánchez is still projected to be the Yankees’ starting catcher, even after Kyle Higashioka started five of the club’s seven postseason games in 2020. The rotation is still up in the air behind Gerrit Cole, as Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton and J.A. Happ are all free agents. More >

AL CENTRAL

Indians
All signs are pointing to shortstop Francisco Lindor being traded, with free agency looming next offseason. Is prospect Tyler Freeman ready to take over? More >

Royals
The rebuilding Royals might not look much different heading into 2021, with most starting positions already settled. Franchy Cordero figures to get the first chance to replace the retired Alex Gordon in left field. More >

Tigers
Detroit is projected to open 2021 with prospects Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal alongside Matthew Boyd, Michael Fulmer and Spencer Turnbull in its rotation, and Jeimer Candelario is now an everyday player after his ’20 breakout. More >

Twins
Minnesota could have significant turnover heading into 2021, with Nelson Cruz, Marwin González, Jake Odorizzi, Rich Hill, Sergio Romo, Trevor May and Tyler Clippard all entering free agency, and Eddie Rosario a candidate to be non-tendered. More >

White Sox
With an impressive young core and veterans José Abreu, Yasmani Grandal and Dallas Keuchel signed to multiyear contracts, projecting the team’s 2021 Opening Day roster doesn’t require much guesswork. The biggest question is whether the club's No. 1 prospect, Andrew Vaughn, will be a part of it. More >

AL WEST

Angels
The Halos’ roster has plenty of question marks, though Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon form an impressive one-two punch in the lineup, and the club remains optimistic that Shohei Ohtani can return to two-way status. More >

Astros
Much of Houston’s roster is settled, but the outfield is in flux, with George Springer, Michael Brantley and Josh Reddick all headed to free agency. Kyle Tucker will fill one of the starting outfield spots, and Brantley seems more likely to return than Springer. More >

Athletics
The A’s expect to have third baseman Matt Chapman back from hip surgery in time for Spring Training, and Oakland could re-sign shortstop Marcus Semien. However, the team may have to reshuffle its bullpen with Liam Hendriks, Joakim Soria and Yusmeiro Petit hitting the free-agent market. More >

Mariners
As the Mariners continue their rebuilding process, Mitch Haniger could resurface in the outfield for the first time since July 2019, joining AL Rookie of the Year Award finalist Kyle Lewis. Eventually, prospect Jarred Kelenic could enter the picture as well, though it’s uncertain if he’ll be a candidate to break camp with the big league club. More >

Rangers
Although Texas went an AL-worst 22-38 last season, the club could run it back with many of the same faces to open 2021, especially with Rougned Odor, Elvis Andrus, Kyle Gibson and Jordan Lyles owed roughly $44 million combined next season. More >

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST

Braves
If they don’t re-sign Marcell Ozuna, the Braves could add another outfielder on the free-agent market or shift Austin Riley to the outfield and swing a blockbuster trade for the Cubs’ Kris Bryant, as MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince recently suggested. Atlanta could have Mike Soroka (torn right Achilles) back in its rotation at some point in April, if not Opening Day. More >

Marlins
Coming off a surprising postseason berth in 2020, the Marlins could bring back a similar group in ’21. The rotation figures to be a strength, with Sandy Alcantara, Pablo López, Elieser Hernandez and Sixto Sánchez all showing significant promise. More >

Mets
With new owner Steve Cohen looking to make a big splash, the Mets could pull off several big moves to augment their core of Jacob deGrom, Pete Alonso, Michael Conforto, Dominic Smith and Jeff McNeil. Is a trade for Lindor in the cards? More >

Nationals
After winning the World Series in 2019, little went right for the Nationals last season, but Juan Soto, Trea Turner, Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin represent a strong foundation heading into ’21. More >

Phillies
Philadelphia’s entire offseason will be defined by catcher J.T. Realmuto’s free agency, but addressing the rotation is also a priority. Youngster Spencer Howard could take one of the open spots, though he has battled shoulder problems in each of the past two seasons. More >

NL CENTRAL

Brewers
Milwaukee has some roster decisions to make, especially at the corner-infield spots, but Christian Yelich, Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader and Devin Williams provide stability, and Lorenzo Cain’s return after electing not to play in 2020 should help. More >

Cardinals
The Cardinals will likely try to re-sign Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina, but it remains to be seen if they’ll pursue outfield upgrades as well. Right now, the club is projected to start Dexter Fowler, Harrison Bader and Tyler O’Neill, with Dylan Carlson also in the mix. More >

Cubs
At this point, Bryant projects to be Chicago’s starting third baseman in 2021, but he could find himself on the trade block. Bryant is eligible for free agency next year, along with Javier Báez, Anthony Rizzo and Kyle Schwarber. More >

Pirates
Pirates fans can look forward to a full season of Ke’Bryan Hayes at third base after the youngster hit .376/.442/.682 over 95 plate appearances in 2020, and Jameson Taillon could be back from Tommy John surgery to lead the rotation. More >

Reds
Cincinnati made the postseason in 2020, but free agent Trevor Bauer was a big reason why. If he doesn’t re-sign, his rotation spot could go to Tejay Antone, Michael Lorenzen or an outside addition. The Reds could also have a new shortstop in 2021. More >

NL WEST

D-backs
Arizona traded Starling Marte, Robbie Ray and Archie Bradley during the summer, but the club may not have much more turnover heading into 2021. The D-backs need a much better showing out of Madison Bumgarner, who had a 6.48 ERA in the first season of a five-year, $85 million deal. More >

Dodgers
Mookie Betts and Cody Bellinger in the outfield. Corey Seager at shortstop. Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler in the rotation. And plenty of depth. Even if free agents Justin Turner, Joc Pederson and Enrique Hernández aren’t brought back, the World Series champion Dodgers should continue to field one of the game’s most talented rosters. More >

Giants
It’s unclear if Brandon Belt will be ready for Opening Day after undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur from his right heel in October, and San Francisco needs to sort out its rotation, though Kevin Gausman received a qualifying offer and could return. More >

Padres
After ending their postseason drought, the Padres will now look to close the gap between themselves and the Dodgers, who swept them in the NL Division Series. San Diego doesn’t have many glaring holes, and Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado give the club one of the best left sides of the infield in MLB. More >

Rockies
Colorado’s projected Opening Day roster includes Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story, but with both eligible for free agency after the 2021 campaign (Arenado is signed through ’26 but can opt out), the Rockies could shop them this offseason. More >
