We are less than two weeks into the 2023 calendar year, but we've got bold predictions of a litany of things that will go down in Major League Baseball over the course of the next 11.5 months. Most of our predictions are about things that will happen during the 2023 MLB season, of course. A breakout rookie. An unlikely MVP. A surprise AL West…

Garrett Stubbs was an unlikely hero. At 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, he doesn't look like a ballplayer, and is constantly reminded of that by spectators who call him a Little Leaguer and a bat boy and a clubhouse attendant. He says he hears this just about every time he's on the field but has gotten used to it by now. He's always been undersized, but he…

The Orioles have not ruled out signing a veteran free agent for the rotation, but their choices are dwindling by the day. Baltimore could acquire a top arm via trade, but it's hardly a guarantee. Fans cannot fix up the O's and Marlins on a blind date regardless of how strong a match they appear to be. It's perfectly plausible that Mike Elias and…

Throughout the offseason the CBS Sports MLB experts will bring you a weekly Batting Around roundtable breaking down pretty much anything.

Pitchers and catchers report next month. Somewhere in the middle of it. A long way from Opening Day on March 30 in Boston, but the distance is shrinking. The holiday themes are over unless I'm suddenly motivated by Valentine's Day. Nothing so far about Cupid's arrow, but I decided this morning to take a stab at some 2023 predictions. Here are five,…

With the MLB trade deadline just weeks away, the baseball rumor mill is heating up. While the majority of baseball has been distracted by who is likely to land Juan Soto, there is likely to be a flurry of other activity at the deadline that could drastically impact the results of the 2022 MLB season. Since everybody loves trade speculation, we…

As much as savvy bettors will say to bet numbers and not teams, there are always extenuating factors that handicappers have to consider on a game-by-game basis. One such factor is motivation or what's at stake for either side in a given matchup. For instance, the Miami Marlins have nothing to play for on Wednesday night, while the Philadelphia…

There has been plenty of disappointment around Baltimore as the Orioles have not had an active offseason in what seemed like a make-or-break free agency for the future of the squad and the sake of the 2023 team. It especially seemed like an offseason where adding top-of-the-rotation pitching would be a primary goal for the team but that has yet to…

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

It ended with Yankee-fueled heartbreak, but the Twins' 2019 season was a thrilling and unexpected triumph. They won 101 games, took home their first division title since 2010 and turned the bleachers and shrubbery beyond the walls of Target Field into their own personal target practice, launching a historic number of home runs and earning the…

Major League Baseball's August 2 trade deadline is still a long way off. But the past two months of action have set the table enough for us to throw down some bold predictions regarding what type of chaos awaits in two months. Just so we're clear from the outset: We're aiming for bold but realistic predictions. I'm not here to make up some…

Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge put an exclamation point on MLB's 2022 Winter Meetings with the largest free agent contract in MLB history, a nine-year, $360 million deal to remain with the New York Yankees through his age 39 season in 2031. As per MLBTR, "The $40 million average annual value on the contract establishes a new record among position…

The Phillies host the Rockies after dropping two games to the Brewers. Luckily for the Phillies, they don't have to travel anywhere, while the Rockies have to travel from Detroit to Philadelphia without an off day. The Rockies have gotten off to a hot start; however, they are far more successful at home than on the road. They did take two of three…

Little more than 14 months ago, before the final home game of the Orioles' disastrous 2021 season, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias offered a direct assessment of how the organization would approach the offseason. "We're going to be very cognizant of who we are and where we are," Elias said then, "and I do think that the time…

3:10PM: While the Mets are looking at several free agent pitchers, the New York Post's Mike Puma that the club is also actively pursuing trade possibilities. 11:30AM: After the Mets saw Jacob deGrom leave for Texas and sign a five-year, $185MM deal with the Rangers, it seems certain they'll move quickly to find other ways to upgrade their rotation.…

Years ago, before John Middleton became the face of the Phillies' ownership group, Jimmy Rollins equated him with George Steinbrenner. It's a comparison that Middleton never minded. Because the late Yankees owner was notoriously obsessed with winning, a trait that is admirable to a former college wrestler-turned-billionaire baseball owner. And like…

Making World Series futures bets can be a treacherous endeavour due to the unpredictability of the MLB playoffs. Last year's 88-win Atlanta Braves provided a concrete example of that.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Bryce Harper stepped off the team bus after it pulled up outside Citizens Bank Park and posed with fans for selfies - including a little kid who dressed like the Phillies slugger - and waved goodbye to the small party of fans. With that, Harper walked away and into the offseason, one that could include surgery. Harper's need to…

The master pitching plan, at least on the development side, appears to be taking shape for the Rangers. Three pitchers selected out of high school in the 2018 draft-Cole Winn, Owen White, and Mason Englert-have put themselves in the nearly immediate picture. Had they gone to TCU, South Carolina, and Texas A&M, which were their intended college…

If not for the extended playoffs, the Philadelphia Phillies would have had their season come to an end with the regular season.
