Dylan Cease is one of the better pitchers in baseball, and the Chicago White Sox are in a rebuild of sorts. As a result, Cease has drawn no shortage of interest in trade talks.

After a 101-win season and an NL West title in 2021, the San Francisco Giants have come back down to earth over the last two years. The Giants have played .500 ball since that impressive season, and that regression was enough to cost manager Gabe Kapler his job. Bob Melvin is the new skipper in […]

The Chicago Cubs were first linked to a trade for New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso several months ago, but it has been relatively quiet on that front of late. The Cubs have been quiet in general, as they haven’t spent a single penny in free agency so far. While it doesn’t seem as if […]

The Boston Red Sox have begun to wake up after a slow start to the offseason, making some big moves right before the end of 2023 to give their starting rotation a very new look. After signing Lucas Giolito to a two-year, $38.5 million deal in free agency, the Sox followed that up by trading […]

Shohei Ohtani’s net worth in 2025 is $150 million, but it’s going to get much larger in the future.

So let’s look […]

The Yankees missed out on their top free agency target when Japanese star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yamamoto has all the makings of an elite pitcher, and signing him became all the more important when Brian Cashman traded away several key components of the Yankees pitching staff in order to […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers made the biggest free-agency splash, not just of this year but of all-time when they signed two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million contract.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Yoshinobu Yamamoto agreed to a 12-year, $325 million contract in MLB free agency.

Nevertheless, Verlander made a claim during a recent segment on his FOX Sports MLB show that has caught the attention of the entire MLB […]

Only one team was going to be the lucky one to land former Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani. The crosstown Los Angeles Dodgers were the fortunate ones to acquire the reigning AL MVP, but acquiring Ohtani as well as Tyler Glasnow and Manuel Margot will not guarantee the Dodgers an NL pennant or a […]

What is going on with Blake Snell’s free agency?

Shohei Ohtani recently signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels’ future remains in question.
