The Los Angeles Dodgers are still in a position to compete despite their quiet offseason. But they could drastically increase their World Series odds by pulling the trigger on a high-profile trade.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were busy during the 2022 MLB trade deadline as they made five deals and explored numerous other possibilities. However, they fell short of acquiring Juan Soto despite some growing optimism for a deal. The Washington Nationals ultimately sent Soto and Josh Bell to the San Diego Padres for a package of Major League talent and…

The Astros haven't even held their World Series parade in Houston yet, but 29 other MLB teams are already focused on the 2023 Fall Classic. Houston won its second title in six years by beating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. The team is among the contenders to win it all next season, but another powerhouse organization is pinned as the…

The Los Angeles Dodgers are still looking to shed a few million (especially after acquiring Miguel Rojas) so they can have a comfortable cushion under the first luxury tax threshold in the event they need to make an addition or two at the trade deadline. All of their strategic, financially-conscious decision making over the last few months has…

Look, I understand my job each week in my quizzes is to educate, illuminate and entertain you (and occasionally frustrate you as you attempt to go 9-for-9). I'm definitely not here to bring you down, even in a memorial for those we lost in 2022. I look at it more as a celebration of their lives and hopefully give you something to further remember…

Though unexpected to many, it's been Joe Musgrove who's led the Padres' rotation and is now sporting one of the best pitching profiles in baseball. Back him to protect his undefeated record and lead the Padres to victory - as our MLB picks explain. The Philadelphia Phillies have dropped three straight and enter the final series of their 11-game…

Al MVP 2022 Aaron Judge is currently a free agent, and which team is he going to land is still the biggest question in the MLB world. Notably, the Yankees are not the only team in the race to land Judge on their team. National League's San Francisco Giants is one of the top running teams who want Judge to sign for them. Last week, Judge reportedly…

LOS ANGELES - Both the Yankees and Mets will look into a trade for suddenly available superstar Juan Soto, sources tell The Post. That should surprise no one as his availability represents a rare chance to acquire an all-time talent at age 23. That said, the early speculation around the game is that it won't be easy for anyone to complete a…

Geoff Pontes hosted a chat to discuss the Astros system. You can read the transcript here. JC (NYC): Hey Geoff! I'm sure I'm not the only one asking about this player, but how close was Colin Barber to making the top 10? When healthy (and it's not often) he seems to show solid tools. Are consistent injury concerns keeping him from the top? Thank…

In stretching out Trea Turner's $300 million contract over 11 years, the Phillies diluted the average annual salary for luxury-tax purposes and payroll flexibility. It's the approach they took four years ago in signing Bryce Harper. The length of Turner's deal, like Harper's 13-year pact, was predicated on economics, not baseball. But the Phillies…

Joc Pederson has enjoyed a successful MLB career, considering he was drafted in the 11th round of the 2010 MLB Draft.

Here are the top 5 active players in HRs in…

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.

Now that the 2022 MLB trade deadline has passed, it's worthwhile to check back in on the updated World Series odds.

A handful of playoff-contending…

Carlos Rodon has a tough assignment tonight, facing the Los Angeles Dodgers and their fearsome lineup, but we think he's up to the task of surpassing his strikeouts prop of 6.5. He's one of our three favorite prop plays on a light MLB schedule. Baseball is back with a short slate to kick off the second half of the season on Thursday. With only six…

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,…

The Los Angeles Angels signed Brett Phillips to be the Opening Day fourth outfielder. Whether that'll end up being a good signing or not remains to be seen, but it does tell us one thing. Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak will almost certainly barring injury not be on the Opening Day roster. This could mean one of two things. Either one or both of them…

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…

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. "The only guy who I know for sure would sign him is…

For all the talk about how division races supposedly don't matter as much as they used to -- and I can think of a couple No. 1 and No. 2 seeds who would very much disagree with you -- it still means something to be able to call yourself a champion. I guarantee you there are Guardians fans who have 2022 AL Central champs shirts. It might not be the…

Los Angeles Dodgers celebrations for home runs and hits have varied over the years, and this season has seen two different iterations thanks in large part to Hanser Alberto and Trea Turner taking on the lead. After a win in May, Alberto explained the shaka sign - or "hang loose" hand motion - stemmed from his time in the Dominican Winter…

South Korea is doing things…

I write this piece every year, but I never could have predicted what happened in 2021. Usually, "bold predictions" come up short because they're too bold. For instance, last year I picked Austin Slater to hit more homers than in his previous four seasons combined (he came close, missing by two!) and Duane Kuiper projected double-digit homers for…

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees remain alive in the postseason, but free agency rumors persisted throughout the season after he rejected a contract extension worth a reported seven years and $213.5 million at his Opening Day deadline. By all accounts, Judge and his agent, Page Odle, maintained their stance of not further discussing a contract…

It should be a lot of fun and I hope you get the chance to tune in. You can listen live HERE or subscribers can watch the live videostream HERE. There isn't a lot of time…

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…

We're just about a month away from the 2022 trade deadline and the Mariners figure to be buyers in some form or another this summer. While the seriousness of their efforts may very well be determined this week with six difficult games, Seattle should be looking to actively upgrade its roster now in an attempt to maximize its odds going forward. By…

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…

The MLB just had its best year of all time. In terms of revenue, no other year in baseball history has been better.

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.
