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.

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.
