The Los Angeles Dodgers were staring down the barrel of having the World Series headed back to Dodger Stadium for a Game 6 and possibly even a winner-take-all scenario against the New York Yankees before their fortunes drastically turned. That was until the fifth inning, which changed the equation and suddenly put an eighth World…
The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of two finalists for the 2024 Team Silver Slugger Award, competing against the Arizona Diamondbacks for their first accolade of this type. The American League finalists for the 2024 Team Silver Slugger Award are the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees. Team Silver Slugger recognition is a recent invention…
The Dodgers last offseason signed the best pitcher in Japan when Yoshinobu Yamamoto joined Los Angeles as a free agent. That opportunity is upon them again potentially this offseason, as 23-year-old right-hander Roki Sasaki will be posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines. The NPB team made the announcement late Friday night that they have begun…
The Philadelphia Phillies have plenty of talent and very well could make a deep run in 2025. Philadelphia won 95 games in the regular season, but the bullpen imploded in the playoffs, and that is one of the biggest reasons why the club was knocked out by the rival New York Mets. The Phillies need…
The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off winning the World Series this offseason and now they are in the process of trying to figure out how to go about their winter plans. One of those plans could include them updraging the starting rotation. Los Angeles has long been linked to Japanese superstar Roki Sasaki. There…
Coming off their strong 4-1 series win over the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers have celebrated almost non-stop. The team almost fell into a 3-2 series lead, as the Yankees led in the fifth inning of Game 5. Yet, a series of New York defensive miscues led to the National…
Bolstering their bullpen has to be among the New York Yankees’ biggest priorities this offseason; if only because they’re losing three of their top relievers (Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle, and Tim Hill) to free agency. Luke Weaver has done more than enough to be the Yankees’ closer in 2025. However, New York fans have a right to…
Juan Soto was everything the Yankees could have asked for and more. A jaw-dropping platform year in which he helped lead the Bombers back to the World Series for the first time in 15 years sets the stage for a gripping offseason. Given Shohei Ohtani was only ever going to sign with the Dodgers, Soto might be the…
This would be quite the swipe for the New York Mets since it would also weaken their NL East rival’s starting rotation. It should come as no surprise that the Mets are looking for rotation help this offseason with Sean Manaea, Luis Severino and Jose Quintana all hitting the free agent market. While it’s still possible that…
The Cleveland Guardians need starting pitching. We all know that. However, their need for starting pitching shouldn’t mask their need for another bat or two. The problem is that the Guardians are not exactly a spendthrift organization, so they probably won’t be blowing a ton of money in free agency. That means Cleveland may have…
An MLB franchise does not languish in irrelevance for a decade without having a slew of organizational problems, but the biggest issue that has faced the Los Angeles Angels in their lengthy run of incompetence is an inability to build a formidable starting pitching rotation. Signing Kyle Hendricks to a one-year $2.5 million contract is…
While it was a down year for the Los Angeles Angels, shortstop Zach Neto developed into one of the more pivotal hitters in the team’s lineup. However, he may not have an opportunity to double down on his success to start the 2025 season. Neto underwent shoulder surgery on Wednesday and is in danger of…
