#Will Leitch

Well, Angels fans. I guess there is some hope after all. MLB.com writer Will Leitch decided to have some fun, and predict who would win the next 10 World Series. And, what was probably a surprise to many, the Angels did in fact make the list. Not even just as a World Series participant, but as a winner. And the best news of all, it's before Mike…

The Chicago Cubs victory in the 2016 World Series gets discussed as if it was yesterday but the fact remains that the Cubs are closer to 2026 than they are to 2016. Starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks is the lone player that remains on the Cubs' roster from the 2016 team and questions have arisen over the course of the next two seasons regarding when…

The Astros' offseason has been filled with disrespectful prediction after slanderous column. And we get it--people are sick of the bad boys of baseball and they are sick of their winning ways. Since 2017, the Astros have made it to the ALCS six straight seasons, won the AL West five times, appeared in four World Series and won two. Needless to say,…

MLB.com writer Will Leitch used his crystal ball to predict the next ten World Series champions. It's a very strange list comprised of ten different World Series winners. It's a list that could bring some laughs and tears of joy to Los Angeles Angels fans. In 2023 he has the Dodgers somehow winning the World Series defeating the Blue Jays. The same…

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…

The good news about MLB.com's predictions for the next 10 World Series matchups (which are set in stone and written entirely unironically, definitely, without a doubt)? They've given the Yankees a championship, something this starving fan base hasn't experienced since 2009. The bad news? Only a single title won't satiate these hounds, and the other…

First shortstop Carlos Correa was going to leave the Minnesota Twins to sign a 13-year, $350 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. But concerns over Correa's earlier ankle injury prompted the Giants to back out of the deal after setting up the news conference to announce it. Awkward! That prompted billionaire fanboy Steve Cohen to swoop…

In the past 10 years, the Dodgers have made it to the World Series three different times, but fell short of bringing home the trophy. This 2023 season could very well be the year for Los Angeles to win it all. Dodger fans sure think so, and so does MLB analyst Will Leitch. MLB.com put out an article predicting the next 10 World Series winners, and…

Spencer Torkelson and newly signed free-agent Ronald Acuña Jr. will team up to help the Detroit Tigers break their 45-year World Series drought... in 2029. That's the fanciful prediction of MLB.com, which set out to project the next 10 World Series winners. Author Will Leitch said the Tigers are "too motivated of a franchise, with too desperate of…

The Cubs are getting ready to play ball and take on St. Louis and Milwaukee for first place in the NL Central. The three teams have more time to enhance their rosters before the start of the 2023 season, but as it stands now the Cardinals are less likely to have an easy jog to the division title. And that's true even after their signing of…

As I noted Friday, MLB Network host Greg Amsinger told St. Louis sports station 101 ESPN that he expects to see free-agent shortstop Trea Turner in a Cardinals uniform on Opening Day, 2023. To recap for those who missed it: "He's the perfect fit, the missing link, and if the Cardinals don't recognize that they're missing out," Amsinger said. "He…

The World Series is set to begin, and now the experts' picks are in. The 2020 Fall Classic between the Dodgers and Rays starts Tuesday with Game 1 at 8 p.m. ET at Globe Life Field in Arlington (watch on FOX). It's a clash of the top team of each league -- the Dodgers were the No. 1 playoff seed in the National League and the Rays were the No. 1 in…

Today the focus is on Christian Vazquez, the 32-year-old veteran free agent who is gaining in popularity with St. Louis media and fans. THE OVERVIEW: Vazquez spent seven-plus seasons with Boston before being traded to Houston last summer, and he teamed with Martin Maldonado to form a catching tandem that was part of the Astros' run to the World…

Embrace the chaos of the 2022 MLB postseason. Enjoy the upsets, the unlikely heroes, and seeing 100-win teams going down in a October inferno. Your attitude on this topic probably depends on your personal rooting interests. So I wouldn't expect much cherish-the-postseason sentiment from fans of the Dodgers, Braves, Mets and Cardinals. Their teams…

The Cardinals are in the market for a catcher. Hopefully they'll be smart about this and view the opening as an opportunity to upgrade their offense. Defense must be a consideration, which doesn't really need to be stated. But in this case the defensive requirement has been overstated, with too much attention being paid to the standard established…

The Houston Astros will enter the World Series with a nine-game winning streak including their 7-0 record in the postseason. With the playoffs added in, they've won 113 games this season and figure to be the common-sense choice to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. Since the start of the 2017 season the Astros lead the American…

It could be a festive Tuesday night for the Cardinals in Milwaukee. With a victory over the Brewers the Cards will clinch the NL Central division title. They can spray champagne, and douse each other with Anheuser-Busch products. And if the fellers are in the mood for mischief, they can make like the 2004 Cardinals and celebrate the coup de grace…

The Kansas City Royals' 2022 season has been just about everything but productive, although rookie infielder Bobby Witt Jr. is far from the reason why. Despite that, some folks still believe he didn't live up to expectations in his debut campaign. In an article on MLB.com, columnist Will Leitch published a piece spotlighting one player on every…
