The Toronto Blue Jays have been heavily involved in the rumor mill to kick off the offseason, and they made a solid under-the-radar move on Tuesday by re-signing Kevin Kiermaier to a one-year, $10.5 million deal. That would seemingly rule them out of the race for one of their rumored top targets, but it turns […]

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 […]

The Toronto Blue Jays were a finalist to sign Shohei Ohtani in MLB free agency before he ultimately ended up with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

After missing out on […]

While the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays have been the most talked about teams in the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes, the San Francisco Giants have stayed involved.

The Miami Marlins have not been the most prestigious MLB franchise over their 31-year lifespan.

Two of those were the World Series they won […]

[…]

The 2023 MLB season has been a historic one for the Chicago Cubs. What looked like it would be another lost year for the Cubs could very well end in a playoff run.

The New York Yankees haven’t had a good 2023 season. The team has underperformed and New York’s future is uncertain ahead of the offseason. There’s still reason for hope, however.
