Walker Buehler clinched the Los Angeles Dodgers World Series victory over the New York Yankees when he came in for an unexpected save during Game 5 of the series, but could he head over to the team he closed out of the postseason. Per Jon Morosi of MLB Network, there is reportedly some mutual interest…
Shohei Ohtani enjoyed a record-breaking first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was properly recognized by unanimously winning the 2024 National League MVP Award. Ohtani led all NL players in home runs (54), RBI (130) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.036). He also finished with a career-best 59 stolen bases en route to becoming…
The 2024-25 MLB offseason is more than three weeks old and we’re still waiting for the first big free-agent signing. That’s not unusual. Rarely does a top free agent come off the board before Thanksgiving. The action will begin soon enough, I promise. Here now are Sunday’s hot stove updates as the annual Winter Meetings…
The Seattle Mariners are in a very tough position as we head deeper into this offseason. First, the M’s went 85-77 last season, missing the playoffs by just one game. They are clearly a good team, but they are good team that needs to make some improvements in order to be great. Unfortunately, those improvements…
This offseason, the focus for the Toronto Blue Jays has been on trying to sign free agent slugger Juan Soto. However, the team shouldn’t forget about trying to lock up slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., according to veteran pitcher Jose Berrios. “When we sign ‘Vlady’, we can sign whoever they want. But I think the priority should be Vladimir…
Respect has arrived for the Philadelphia Eagles defense. The plan in Philadelphia coming into the 2024 season after a historic collapse was to build perhaps the NFL’s best offense and complement that with a capable defense after the bottom fell out on that side of the football. The offense has been good through the Eagles’…
Roki Sasaki was another name thrown into the mix of big names to acquire this winter as the Chiba Lotte Marines announced they intend to post the right-hander for MLB free agency. Sasaki’s potential has attracted the eye of every team around Major League Baseball with pitching at such a premium around the league. The…
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani underwent surgery on his shoulder for a torn labrum following the conclusion of the 2024 MLB season. Ohtani injured his shoulder while trying to steal second base during Game 2 of the World Series against the New York Yankees. He went on to play the rest of the…
Will the Cleveland Guardians be players for some of the big-named starting pitchers, such as Blake Snell of Corbin Burnes? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean they can’t upgrade their rotation this offseason. One way the Guardians could do this is by bringing back one of the starters who was an integral part of the…
Last week, Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers was named the Cy Young winner in the American League. It was the first Cy Young win for Skubal, who beat out Emmanuel Clase (Cleveland Guardians) and Seth Lugo (Kansas City Royals). And though he wasn’t named as a finalist, Guardians rookie Cade Smith made some history…
Slightly less than two years ago I wondered if Steven Kwan possessed a hidden power: namely, hidden power. I followed up last year by revisiting that article and seeing if his 2023 season matched the pattern. Reader (I can’t believe there are any of you, that’s not an insult, I’m just still confused after eight…
Gabriel Arias is on an absolute heater in Venezuela. I am not sure we can project that Arias has transformed himself as a hitter, but he’s usually been bad in winter ball, so this is a positive development, regardless. Tarik Skubal gave props to the Cleveland home crowds. The MLB Hot Stove continues to slumber…
