Before playing a regular-season game with the Mets, 27-year-old superstar shortstop, Francisco Lindor has agreed to a 10-year, $341 million extension that will make him the third-highest paid player in MLB history, just moments before Lindor’s “start of the season deadline.”
Every team in the majors has that one player that can essentially make or break their season, depending on how they perform. Let’s take a look at every American League team’s most important player for the 2021 season.
The Kansas City Royals had a busy offseason. They signed multiple free agents and dished out extensions, including the largest contract in franchise history. Let’s take a look at the action from the Royals and front office this offseason.
The Boston Red Sox have a number of new faces in their lineup for 2021. Hunter Renfroe is one of the most important ones who could have a major impact this season. Find out why he could return to more of his 2019 form when he had a league-leading number of home runs.
The Brew Crew will be looking to make the playoffs for the fourth year in a row in 2021. To do that, they are going to need a couple of players to bounce back from tough years in 2020. Let’s take a look at this year’s squad.
The 2021 MLB season is just days away now. With that in mind, it’s time to go around the diamond at who can break out at each position. For this exercise, we won’t strictly be looking at rookie-eligible players, but some players who have passed their rookie eligibility but haven’t broken out fully yet. Think post-hype players. Let’s dive into it.
The Baltimore Orioles avoided the basement last year by finishing 25-35, one game ahead of the Boston Red Sox. Let’s see if Baltimore can build on last season’s improvement.
On today’s episode of Yelling From the Bench, we discuss a team that taking baseball to new heights, sometimes literally.
The Padres are going to be so much fun. They were last year, when they followed up Manny Machado’s initial year and Fernando Tatis Jr.’s rookie season by finishing 37-23, which was second in the National League. Of course, the rival Dodgers cleaned up pretty quickly, but now general manager AJ Preller is making sure that does not happen again.
Last September, Arte Moreno’s Los Angeles Angels finished their sixth straight year without making the postseason. The first order of business this offseason was the firing of general manager Billy Eppler and the hiring of his replacement.
In typical Cleveland fashion, the Indians did not go out and make a splash in free agency. They were able to sign long-time rival Eddie Rosario to a one-year deal. While they once again parted ways with Carlos Santana, this opens up the first base position to a number of young candidates. With all this being said, let’s take a look at what the 2021 Cleveland Indians will look like.
The New York Yankees finished the 2020 season 33-27 and seven games behind the Tampa Bay Rays. They then lost to those same Rays in the American League Division Series after sweeping the Cleveland Indians in the Wild Card series. Heading into Aaron Boone’s fourth season as manager, the Yankees look to get over the hump of missing out on the World Series for the last decade.
