The Chicago Cubs aren’t bringing back Jon Lester, so where do they go next for additional rotation help?
For the Boston Red Sox, 2020 was a year to forget. Although the Red Sox finished last in the AL East, there were a few reasons to be hopeful for the future. One bright spot was Alex Verdugo.
Sammy Sosa’s career was a rollercoaster. At the end of his run, a scandal that eventually defined an entire generation would plague his legacy. From 1998-2002, Sosa was as exciting a must-see baseball player there was in the league. As we march towards the 2021 Baseball Hall of Fame announcement, the former Rangers, White Sox, Cubs, and Orioles outfielder will yet again be eligible for induction.
The New York Yankees got back their MVP finalist, but it doesn’t make them any better from last year. So what is the next course of action?
Michael Chavis excelled in 2019 but struggled during a shortened 2020 campaign. Jamie Gatlin previews what to expect from the young Red Sox slugger going forward.
There have been reports that the Padres are closing in on an extension with their star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. but there are reasons why they should be more patient.
With Spring Training only weeks away, the Red Sox will be looking to turn the page on last season. The Red Sox finished last in the AL East as injuries and inconsistency plagued them. One bright, however, was the performance of Nathan Eovaldi.
The New York Mets have found themselves a new face of their franchise, and it would suit them best if they made smaller additions after acquiring Francisco Lindor.
Andruw Jones is on the MLB Hall of Fame ballot for the fourth time after receiving a big boost last season. Will the outfielder continue to get a boost with each year of eligibility? Will he wind up eventually being inducted into Cooperstown?
One pitcher who’s name has become popular in the rumor mill is Joe Musgrove. The Pirates starter is coming off of a career year and is Pittsburgh’s biggest remaining trade piece.
For over two decades, Gary Sheffield was one of the game’s most prolific hitters. Playing for the Brewers, Padres, Marlins, Dodgers, Braves, Yankees, Tigers, and Mets from 1988-2009, the native of Tampa, FL will again be eligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
With Spring Training quickly approaching, the Red Sox roster is far from set. Boston is coming off of a disappointing 2020 season in which they finished last in the AL East. However, help could be on its way as they are reportedly showing interest in free agent Alex Colome.
