Whereas the Dodgers bullpen led the team on a World Series run last year, the starting rotation factored just as prominently in their triumph this year. Game 7 of the World Series saw the Dodgers use only pitchers who have been drafted and developed as starters.

Both men are among a wave of young, progressive, charismatic candidates calling for change, amid a backlash to not only Donald Trump's second-term agenda, but also a historically unpopular Democratic Party that many feel are doing too little, too late.

One of the key storylines this offseason that everyone will be closely monitoring will be whether or not star shortstop Bo Bichette will return to the Toronto Blue Jays.

He could be the leader of the most expensive collection of talent in baseball history. He could be the two-time World Series champion manager. He could be part of a dynasty. Don Mattingly said he never viewed his departure from the Dodgers in that context, however. And when he returns to Dodger Stadium this week as the bench coach of the Toronto Blue Jays, he doesn't expect to feel anything he wouldn't feel in a World Series game played at any other stadium.
Ha-seong Kim has a player-only option at 16 million dollars for 2026. Everything right now suggests that he will opt out and search for a new contract. In 2025, Kim picked up 0.3 WAR through 191 PAs.

I am fighting for the family of New York.
The days of George Steinbrenner seem like a distant memory in the Bronx. The New York Yankees last won the World Series in 2009, while he still stood at the helm. But most, if not, all Yankee fans still openly echo his philosophy, believing there is no such thing as a good season; you either win or you lose. If you did not win, then you lost. And if you lost, how can it be a good season?

With rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage coming off a start for the ages in his MLB Playoff debut against
What an incredible first two weeks of the 2025 MLB playoffs we've had. There was the instant classic 15-inning Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners, sending Seattle to its first American League Championship Series since 2001.
