Signing a former Cy Young winner might be in the cards for the San Diego Padres this winter but this specific one is probably a longshot. Shane Bieber’s 2024 season was largely lost to injury, as he spent nearly the entire year on the 60-day injured list. He managed just two scoreless starts early on…
Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said at the MLB GM Meetings that the Dodgers are planning for Mookie Betts to return to the infield in 2025.

We’re just a couple weeks into the thick of the offseason, and the Dodgers have a multitude of questions regarding which players they should reach out for or bring back. Kiké Hernández, Teoscar Hernández, Walker Buehler, Jack Flaherty, Blake Treien, and Joe Kelly are the most notable names hitting the open market, and should the…
The World Series champions could be nearing a move that makes them even scarier in 2025. Though the Los Angeles Dodgers won it all this season, there are still roster holes worth fixing in pursuit of a repeat title. Namely, the starting rotation, which plagued the Dodgers all season due to a preponderance of injuries,…
The Philadelphia Phillies are poised for a major addition to the roster next season. After a rough 2024 campaign from 12-year veteran Taijuan Walker, the team has a clear opening at the tail end of its starting rotation. And they now expect to fill it with top pitching prospect Andrew Painter by the end of next…
Teoscar Hernández bet on himself last offseason by passing up multi-year offers to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a one-year contract in effort to regain some of his value.

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the offseason with decisions to make on a pair of team options for Austin Barnes and Miguel Rojas. Unsurprisingly, they exercised Barnes’ $3.5 million club option, locking in their backup catcher for another year. The Dodgers also picked up Rojas’ $5 million option rather than buying him out for $1…
The Cleveland Guardians badly need starting pitching, but due to their lack of financial resources, they may not be able to sign a top-notch arm in free agency. That means the Guardians may be better off perusing the trade market for answers, and the Miami Marlins may have an answer for them: Sandy Alcantara. Bleacher…
The Cleveland Guardians have some big decisions to make within their organization in the coming days.

However, fans have discussed whether…
