It’s the holidays, which means family, warmth, love and hope -- and also the frantic rush to get gifts for everyone in time.

So let’s add one more recipient to our holiday-gift lists: Your favorite team. Every team needs something -- whether they finished last or just won the World Series. With that in mind, we take a look at one holiday gift for each team. This is what they want the most: Something that would make their holiday dreams come true.

AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST

Blue Jays: Some lineup pop
It seems strange to think of the Blue Jays needing power: Wasn’t this lineup partly constructed with power in mind? It still feels like they’re a bat short. And while Shohei Ohtani will not, alas, be coming here, there are other options, both at the top of the market and in the middle. (J.D. Martinez would look great here.) It also wouldn’t hurt for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to return to his 2021 form. He’s got a 55-homer season in him, doesn’t he?

Orioles: Continued forward momentum
The AL Division Series sweep at the hands of the Rangers and relatively quiet offseason has distracted from the fact that the Orioles had one of the best seasons in franchise history last year: They won so many games (101, to be exact). There’s reason to think they might be even better this year, particularly with top prospect Jackson Holliday arriving at some point. And while they need some more pitching, what they really need is to take another step forward this year. That means winning a playoff series. That’s now the metric for this franchise. That’s a good thing.

Rays: More young arms to emerge
The Rays’ rotation always seems to replenish itself, but, you know, it better, because it looks sort of thin now that Tyler Glasnow has been traded to the Dodgers. Zach Eflin will lead them, and Ryan Pepiot is a nice addition from the Glasnow deal, but Aaron Civale, Zack Littell, Shane Baz and Taj Bradley are going to have to fill a lot of innings. There are a lot of questions with this lineup, but it’s the Rays: They’re going to rise and fall with the rotation. Is it ready?

Red Sox: Something to believe in
The Red Sox have certainly had some front-office turnover, which can lead to a sense that this team is worse than they actually are. There’s a lot of talent still here, but not a lot of the top-shelf variety. The Sox feel like they’re spinning their wheels a bit, and that’s not something a Boston team should ever be doing. Here’s hoping at some point someone can emerge -- and maybe give this team an identity it clearly needs.

Yankees: Aaron Judge and Juan Soto healthy all year long
It’s tough to find a 1-2 combination as dangerous as this one, as well as one that would seem to fit together so well. It’s still up in the air whether Soto will be here past this season, but while’s he’s in The Bronx, you want these two anchoring this lineup at every opportunity. The Yankees are supposed to have stars. They sure have two massive ones here. And while Soto has been very durable, Judge has missed at least 50 games in three of his six full seasons (we’re excluding 2020 here). Let’s hope we get them in the lineup together at least 140 times.

AL CENTRAL

Guardians: A bat. Big, little, something
Maybe it’ll be from trading Shane Bieber, maybe they’ll come up with someone from the free-agent market. But no team needs a big hitter, someone to help out José Ramírez, more than the Guardians do. This lineup needs something. Sooner rather than later.

Royals: The new signings to pay off
The Royals have had some tough seasons of late, but they sense opportunity in the AL Central and have made a few tactical signings this winter, led by right-handers Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha. They’re trying to operate as a 2024 sleeper, and it might just work.

Tigers: More steps forward from the two young hitters
Injuries hurt Riley Greene last year, but there’s no reason to think he won’t continue to improve and eventually become a star for this team. He had a 117 OPS+ last year in 99 games. Just as encouraging? The strides that Spencer Torkelson made as the season went along. He had one of the quietest 30-homer seasons in recent memory.

Twins: Carlos Correa to be a superstar again
The Twins are in a transitional phase, but they can still win this division. But it sure would be nice if Correa played like the generational star the Twins signed him to be.

White Sox: A prospect haul?
It sure looks like the White Sox missed their window and they are going to start over. Trading away some of their stars would be a very efficient way to do so. But if they move the likes of Dylan Cease (or even Luis Robert), the return better be worth it.

AL WEST

Angels: Health for Mike Trout
It’s sad to see Shohei Ohtani gone -- no question. But Mike Trout is still here! He’s one of the best baseball players any of us have ever seen. He just hasn’t been on the field enough to show it for a while. (He hasn’t played in 140 games since 2018.) The Angels just said goodbye to a generational superstar. Fortunately, they have another one.

Astros: An easy transition to a new manager, and a new era
The Astros have made the AL Championship Series for seven consecutive seasons, which is so incredible it’s almost strange to say out loud. They do have some changes happening, though, and it’s to their credit that they’re still going to be good this year despite them. But changes are coming, beginning with Joe Espada taking over for Dusty Baker. The best gift they could maybe receive is everything going smoothly.

Athletics: More Zack Gelofs
Gelof’s emergence in 2023 is exactly the sort of thing the A’s need to have happening regularly (.840 OPS in 300 PAs). Who will be next year’s Zack Gelof?

Mariners: Another big bat
There have been many rumors about the Mariners trading from pitching depth to help out Julio Rodríguez and the rest of their lineup. It might be time to act on one of them, but the club helped its case by agreeing to a two-year deal with catcher/DH Mitch Garver, sources told MLB.com.

Rangers: Another World Series title, please
Winning one just makes you want to win another one.

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST

Braves: Some postseason good fortune
Did the Braves use up all their October mojo in 2021? They’ve had fantastic teams two years in a row that have bowed out far too early in the postseason. Last year’s team was dominant until it wasn’t. How about a team that keeps it going all month long?

Marlins: A healthy Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Jazz felt like one of the game’s hottest young stars heading into 2023 -- he was on the cover of MLB The Show, for crying out loud -- but injuries ate up most of his season. He’s still an electric talent and charismatic figure. It’d be wonderful to get to see it all year long.

Mets: A long-term vision to take hold
You wouldn’t know it from how 2023 went, but the Mets are actually pretty well-positioned moving forward. But there was so much -- money, hope, dreams, mostly money -- riding on 2023 that it felt like a disappointment after the 101-win season of 2022. The Mets have a solid plan they’re putting together, led by new head of baseball operations David Stearns. Maybe it doesn’t all have to ride on just one year?

Nationals: CJ Abrams to emerge as a star
The Soto trade didn’t end up turning out the way the Padres hoped it would, but all told, it hasn’t been perfect for the Nats, either. Abrams is as close as this team has a future star, and you’d like to see him making more moves in that direction this year. The .734 OPS he had after the All-Star break -- not to mention the 33 steals in 35 attempts -- is hopefully a sign of what is to come.

Phillies: Those postseason vibes to continue
At many points in October, it sure felt like the Phillies were on their way to a World Series win, didn’t it? The Citizens Bank Park crowd elevated this team, and really the whole sport, before the late NLCS letdown. Here’s hoping everybody remains just as excited this year.

NL CENTRAL

Brewers: A Jackson Chourio who is ready on Day One
The Brewers are going through a transitional period now, but there’s still a lot to be excited about here, first and foremost Chourio -- a generational prospect who is locked in for years to come and should be playing on Opening Day.

Cardinals: No more years like last year
No reason to overcomplicate it. That can’t happen again.

Cubs: A return for Cody Bellinger?
The Cubs have been trying to catch up all offseason after presumably losing Bellinger and Marcus Stroman, two of their best players. But maybe they can keep Bellinger? The best way to get a star is to keep the ones you have.

Pirates: Paul Skenes fever
The No. 1 overall pick is going to be ready sooner rather than later. What a jolt of energy he could be for this franchise.

Reds: Elly de la Cruz to take the next step
As fun as de la Cruz was this year, his overall numbers weren’t quite what you’d want them to be. He looks like a future star. It’s time for him to be one.

NL WEST

D-backs: Another World Series
Sure, that was a wild run, and expecting another one is probably expecting too much. That said, this team should actually be better than it was in 2023. So let’s roll it back out, guys!

Dodgers: Sorry, no more gifts
Shohei Ohtani makes a full holiday gift platter, one would think. (Not to mention adding Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow.)

Giants: Jung Hoo Lee to provide the Giants a clear identity
Whether he’s a “star” or not is up for debate, but the Korean star has the sort of game and personality the somewhat nondescript Giants have been looking for.

Padres: The stars to be stars
Sure, there’s one less star here now that Soto has been traded. But you can sure do a lot worse than having Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts on your team. Those are three MVP candidates. This season will look a lot different if they all play like it.

Rockies: A healthy Kris Bryant
It’d be wonderful to see them get a full season from the biggest free-agent signing in club history. He’s shown glimpses of his former stardom in Colorado, but never for an extended period. No time like the present! (Present, get it?)
