Michael Cuddyer had a productive 15-year career, winning a batting title and even getting a few MVP votes a couple of times. Let’s take a look at his Hall of Fame case.
With a new owner in Steve Cohen and a new general manager in Jeff Porter, the New York Mets want to win now. The Mets are now trying to make moves that will make them winners in 2021.
For the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2020 was one of their worst seasons in recent memory. The Pirates finished with the worst record in baseball and saw many of their young players struggle. However, one of the few bright spots was the major league debut and play of third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes.
Since the inception of the Colorado Rockies in 1993, the franchise hadn’t seen one of their own get inducted into the Hall of Fame until Larry Walker in 2020. Fast-forward to 2021, and first baseman Todd Helton could join his former teammate and get the nod into Cooperstown.

Through two major league seasons, Josh Taylor has had his share of ups and downs. As the lefty enters his third season, his career is at a crossroads as the Red Sox try to return to the postseason. For Taylor, 2021 will be about finding what made him successful in 2019.
The Arizona Diamondbacks finished the season 25-35, the second-worst record in the National League. Certainly a bad season, but they are only three years removed from a playoff appearance. What do the D’Backs need to do to get back to the postseason?
A.J. Burnett is on the ballot for the first time this year. The right-handed starter had a 17-year career and won a couple of World Series rings. Does he have enough to get into Cooperstown?
The New York Mets have signed their catcher in James McCann, and the Philadelphia Phillies remain as the only perfect fit for J.T. Realmuto. Now, there are no excuses for the front office to miss out on the best catcher in baseball.
Brian Cashman hinted that longtime starter Masahiro Tanaka won’t be returning to the Bronx this winter, but there is still some good news for Yankees fans.
2020 marked another season where the St. Louis Cardinals were very mediocre. The 30-28 regular-season record coupled with an early two games-to-one defeat to the Padres in the Wild Card round showed us that there is plenty of room for improvement. How will this storied franchise handle things before the 2021 season rolls around? Perhaps a few significant additions can stir the drink and make this team a true contender once again.
For the Boston Red Sox, 2020 was a year to largely forget as they finished last in the AL East. Despite their struggles, there were still some bright spots, such as Phillips Valdez. The Red Sox reliever began the year with modest expectations after being claimed off waivers and became one of Boston’s biggest surprises. With Spring Training only months away, the expectations will be higher for the third year reliever.
The Cincinnati Reds finished at 31-29 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2013. Unfortunately, they couldn’t score a run and were gone after two losses to the Atlanta Braves. What do they need to do to make it back to October?
