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…

Now that the 2022 MLB trade deadline has passed, it's worthwhile to check back in on the updated World Series odds. While the Yankees, Dodgers, and Astros still sit atop the World Series odds boards, given the changes to this year's playoff format, it's truly anyone's game once the 12-team field is officially set. A handful of playoff-contending…

Yesterday, I looked into how the predictions at FanGraphs, both crowdsourced and those produced by me, matched the contracts awarded to free agents this offseason. Today, I'd like to dive into a few cases where I made mistakes in individual player predictions, as well as a few I think I did well on. In each case, I'll try to come up with some…

Speaking of next year's free agents, Ian Happ is maybe now more inclined to bet on himself and not agree to an extension right now. If he has a repeat 2022 season, or improves, then he'll likely beat what Andrew Benintendi got from the White Sox, a five-year, $75 million contract. Speaking of contract extension, how about the Cubs get one done as…

Well, that was disappointing. The Orioles had a chance to go.500 in the month of May with a win last night. But instead they laid an absolute egg, falling 10-0 to the visiting Mariners. The lineup that Brandon Hyde deployed was this team's A-squad. Cedric Mullins was back atop the lineup. Adley Rutschman was behind the plate. Trey Mancini was in as…

Moustakas is a left-handed power bat which the Cubs would like to have (Charles LeClaire - USA Today Sports) At this point in the MLB offseason, it is a safe bet to assume that most teams have made their big splashes. That doesn't mean more moves are not on the way, and teams will do whatever it takes to improve their roster. The Chicago Cubs fall…

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…

Major League Baseball's 2022 trade deadline has come and gone. The deadline was set for 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday and teams are no longer be able to make deals to bolster their rosters ahead of the stretch run. The biggest name was moved early Tuesday: Juan Soto headed to the Padres in an eight-player blockbuster that also featured Josh Bell landing in…

Trey Mancini has had colon cancer, left a city in which his connection to the fanbase was undeniable, headed south to Houston and won a World Series, so it is safe to say the free-agency process and a potential move north to Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs will not rattle the outfielder. The report on the veteran is just one at the forefront of…

The rebuild in Baltimore has entered its fourth year under new management, although 2020 felt like a waste with the minor league season canceled due to COVID-19.

The Baltimore Orioles have been one of the biggest surprises in the MLB during the 2022 season. They have hung around at the backend of the American League wild card race for most of the season, and after their 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays last night, they have a half-game lead over the Rays for the final wild card spot in the AL. Nobody…

Michael Brantley also has an expiring deal, which could shift Yordan Alvarez to left field full time. HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The joy of winning a World Series championship is irreplaceable, but the Houston Astros may have to do some replacing of their own in the coming months. As is customary every MLB offseason, a slew of players who won a world…

When Baltimore took Ben McDonald with the top choice in the 1989 draft, it was just one small part of a thrilling season for the Orioles. They had the No. 1 pick because the previous year had been terrible, but by the time they actually made the selection, the Orioles were in first place in the AL East, on their way to becoming one of baseball's…

After waiting until a month after the World Series for the winter meetings to get the ball rolling, Major League Baseball's free-agent spending spree has been something of a runaway freight train.

Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings are occurring for the first time since 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic and the owner-imposed lockout caused the last two events to be canceled. The return of the winter meetings also means the Rule 5 draft will again take place, canceled last year due to the aforementioned lockout. As such, below you'll find CBS…

Though we're still waiting on the biggest, Aaron Judge-sized domino to fall, there have already been quite a few lucrative deals handed out in this year's MLB free-agency cycle. Eleven players have agreed to contracts worth at least $10 million per year, and there could be as many as 40 more at that price point when all is said and done. Not all of…
