Trevor Bauer become a free agent on Thursday, but the market will be a lot more hostile toward the 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner than it was two winters ago, when Bauer signed a three-year, $102-million deal with the Dodgers after turning down a lucrative offer from the New York Mets.

As you know, predicting baseball is a fool's errand. It's also the most common activity of sportswriters during the offseason. When they're not writing about which team Carlos Correa signed with today, they're writing about what's going to happen in the coming season. Or, in the case of Will Leitch at MLB.com, what's going to happen in the next ten…

First shortstop Carlos Correa was going to leave the Minnesota Twins to sign a 13-year, $350 million contract with the San Francisco Giants.

That prompted billionaire fanboy Steve Cohen to swoop…

In a saga that's had more twists and turns than a typical race day at the Monaco Grand Prix, it appears that Carlos Correa has finally figured out where he's going to be playing baseball for the next few seasons.

MLB.com put out an article predicting the next 10 World Series winners, and…

The New York Mets may have lost out on free agent superstar Carlos Correa, but they remain legitimate World Series contenders in 2023.

Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins agreed to terms on a 6-year, $200 million dollar deal on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been around for over a century, and over that time, they've managed to win their fair share of World Series (7, to be precise).

Major League Baseball's offseason has officially crossed the halfway point. All but five of our top 50 free agents are off the board.
