One of the first things on the Mets’ offseason agenda will be deciding who to offer a contract to among the players who are eligible for arbitration or remain under club control because they don’t have enough service time to become a free agent. Clubs either “tender” a contract to those who they want back,…
The New York Mets would not have made it to the NLCS without the unexpected excellence that Sean Manaea produced this season. Manaea signed a two-year, $28 million contract with the Mets in January 2024, which includes a $13.5 million player option for the 2025 season. After amassing a 12-6 record with a 3.47 ERA and 184 strikeouts in…
The Houston Astros have been linked to Pete Alonso at times over the past year. On paper, the fit makes sense, as Alonso would fix all of their issues at first base. However, given the slugger could be looking at a potential $200 million deal, it might not make much sense to sign him with the other flaws…
The New York Mets are in a good position with the winter approaching. New York will have many of its top players back in 2025, and the payroll gets easier to work with, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see another star or two in town. The Mets are going to try to land some of…
The Philadelphia Phillies‘ offseason has become one of the more interesting ones in Major League Baseball after they were knocked out in the National League Division Series. For a team that was clearly talented enough to win a World Series, losing the way they did was a major failure. It’s unfortunate to say, but there were no words…
The Philadelphia Phillies fell woefully short of their ultimate goal of making it back to, and winning, the World Series. After being one of the best teams in baseball throughout the regular season, they fell flat in the playoffs when they were eliminated in four games in the NLDS by the New York Mets. That has led to…
Ben Brown put a jolt in the Chicago Cubs pitching staff this season. The hard-throwing right-hander spent time in both the starting rotation and bullpen in 2024 before being put on the injured list with a neck injury that kept him out for the remainder of the regular season. Despite the injury, Brown showed fans…
The Chicago Cubs need to make a change. After four straight seasons without a playoff berth, the pressure is on the front office to meaningfully improve the roster to break that drought in 2025. Those potential improvements could come in any number of areas, from a slugging infielder to a lockdown bullpen arm. But Erik…
Finally, baseball returns. No, not, like, February/March/April-style, but the layoff between the LCS and World Series sure felt rather long. Especially when you consider the attached hype. Tonight the Yankees kick things off in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, with Game One of the World Series starting at 7:08pm CT on FOX. Major League Baseball…
Red Sox infield prospect Yoeilin Cespedes posted a video of himself taking some swings in a batting cage to his Instagram story earlier Thursday afternoon. Cespedes, the No. 9 prospect in Boston’s farm system according to Baseball America, is approximately four months removed from undergoing season-ending surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his left hand. The issue…
The Boston Red Sox have money to spend this offseason and therefore will be linked to pretty much every player who will be available in some way, shape, or form. Boston is one of the biggest markets in baseball, and the Red Sox aren’t far away from contending. The 2024 season was significantly better than both…
The Baltimore Orioles are heading into an important offseason, in which they will be looking to retain some key players and keep building upon what the franchise has been doing in recent years. It was another strong regular season for the Orioles in 2024, as they won over 90 games and were able to reach the playoffs…
