It’s time for the Chicago Bulls to make a substantial change. Since acquiring Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan, and pairing the two with Zach LaVine, the Bulls have had plenty of shortcomings. Injuries haven’t been kind and the club has been unable to sustain success. DeRozan walked from the team, having joined the Sacramento Kings in the recent offseason. After that, it…

The early returns on the Miami Heat’s rookie class have been mixed, especially amid first-round pick Kel’el Ware’s lack of playing time. It’s a good thing second-round pick Pelle Larsson is here. Bleacher Report graded every team’s NBA rookie class through the season’s first month. The Heat, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, earned a B. Larsson, the…

Jed Hoyer knew he would have to truly upgrade the bullpen unit of the Chicago Cubs this offseason. He admitted he made a mistake by not doing more last winter, something that caused them to miss the playoffs for two straight years by repeatedly blowing games where they held late leads. So, the Cubs wasted little time…

The Seattle Mariners are one of the most intriguing teams in the offseason. So far, the biggest additions the Mariners have made is trading for former prospect Austin Shenton from the Tampa Bay Rays. The team also moved on from 2024 starting second Jorge Polanco and last year’s top third baseman Josh Rojas in separate…

Once the Juan Soto sweepstakes concludes, the New York Yankees will likely be seeking bullpen help as the offseason progresses. The Yankees saw three key relief arms hit free agency: Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle and Tim Hill, who accounted for a total of 146.2 innings in the regular season. This trio also tossed a combined 29 innings…

The Houston Astros have had the upper hand on the Seattle Mariners for as long as both teams can remember, but perhaps this winter, the tides can begin to turn. After losing in the first round of the playoffs, the Astros appear more vulnerable now than they have been since the early 2010s. Meanwhile, the…

The Atlanta Braves were hard at work over the last five years, locking in as many of their homegrown stars as they could to long-term extensions. Unfortunately, there was one notable omission. Two-time All-Star starting pitcher Max Fried has spent his entire eight-year career in Atlanta, but recently hit free agency and declined the Braves’…

The starting rotation is still a question mark for the New York Mets. As of now, the only starter guaranteed to be in the 2025 rotation is ace Kodai Senga; fellow starters Sean Manaea, Luis Severino, and Jose Quintana are all free agents, while David Peterson, Tylor Megill, and Paul Blackburn have been discussed as candidates…

It seems the Boston Red Sox are finally going all-in for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. Will a blockbuster trade be part of the equation? It’s widely known that the Red Sox are after two things: Juan Soto and starting pitching. Soto still may be a long shot, but there’s no reason they couldn’t…

Last week, it was reported by Matt Gelb of The Athletic that the Phils were giving some thought to trading outfielder Nick Castellanos, infielder Alec Bohm, prospect Justin Crawford or left-hander Ranger Suárez as they look to shake up their roster. Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports along similar lines, noting that the club is making Bohm available and is expected to look to…

The Toronto Blue Jays are keen on bringing a big bat north of the border this winter and have their eyes on a 2024 Silver Slugger Award winner. While the Blue Jays reportedly remain in the running to sign this winter’s top free agent, New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto, few believe that Toronto has…

One potential option for the Baltimore Orioles in free agency to bolster their rotation is officially off the board. Now former Houston Astros left-handed starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi is signing a three-year deal worth $63 million with the Los Angeles Angels as first reported by Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Kikuchi, now 33 years old, picked the right time down the stretch…
