Happy Opening Day, everyone. All 30 teams start on even ground. I’m going to look at how each shakes out over the next six months. I already predicted award winners in the last column, if you’d like to see how wrong those turn out. Do the Dodgers finally win the NL? How will the Cubs […] More
We made it. After one of the best game sevens in MLB history, we were forced to sit through the dog days of winter in what felt to be a quieter offseason than usual. Opening Day is 13 days away as of this writing. We’ve had a few weeks to watch teams in spring training, […] More
The Los Angeles Dodgers made a few splashes this offseason, all of which involved their own free agents. The team spent $192 million on Rich Hill, Justin Turner and Kenley Jansen. External help has yet to arrive, though we may see Brian Dozier in Dodger blue soon. Los Angeles is currently banking on its own […] More
All of the 30 MLB teams have a deadline to either extend qualifying offers or let go of their free agents by 5pm ET. The market of free agents is very scarce, but there should be many qualifying offers handed out to the free agents. Last year there were 20 players that were given qualifying offers […] More
Winning a World Series is the pinnacle of the baseball mountain, but a champion’s landscape can change just a few months later. Just ask the Kansas City Royals. After winning it all in 2015, the 2016 Royals slipped to third place in the American League Central with an 81-81 record. Most expected Kansas City to […] More
Last week, we took a look at the potential 2017 roster for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Whether our predictions come to fruition has yet to be seen and will be that way for some time. What we want to do today is envision what might occur if the Dodgers do not sign any or some […] More
The Dodgers were rumored to be extremely close to trading Yasiel Puig for Ryan Braun, but the trade fell through at the deadline. Could we see that trade revisited during the offseason? The bats went cold for the Dodgers this postseason, and with Yoenis Cespedes reportedly opting out of his contract, he may be worth […] More
New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes reportedly plans to opt out of his contract and become a free agent. Do you think it would be wise for the Dodgers to sign him? The 31-year old has two more years on his deal and was set to make $47.5 million. After posting .280/.354/.530 with 31 home […] More
The Los Angeles Dodgers have some work to do. The game 6 loss to the Cubs completed another disappointing finish in the City of Angels. The good news: L.A. is on the cusp of its first World Series since 1988 and possesses an abundance of youth and financial power to continue its ascent in the […] More
Baseball has a history of Americanizing Latino names, but accents may soon be a common sight on the field. Earlier this month, Adrian Gonzalez added the accent mark to his name on the back of his jersey as part of the #PonleAcento (#PutAnAccent) campaign, and has been urging other Latino players to do the same. Gonzalez has […] More
The next World Baseball Classic is expected to be held in 2017. Cuba was a favorite in 2006, but fell to Japan 10-6 losing the opportunity to be crowned the first champion of the WBC. Cuban native Yasiel Puig played for the Cuban National team back in the 2008 World Junior Baseball Championship, winning a […] More
