The week is finally here when the first pitchers and catchers begin reporting on spring training and the Chicago Cubs began their fun on Monday. This means the 2025 MLB season is suddenly approaching, and we hope that even the baseball team chosen to finish at the bottom of the rankings will be a year in the clubhouse that violates preseason expectations.
There’s a lot to catch up after another eventful MLB offseason has won another World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers. They especially bought Japanese ace Sasaki, with two-time Cy young winners Blake Snell, outfielders Tescal Hernandez and Michael Comfort, rescue and two offenses to Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates After exempting the equivalent of a season, their potential dominance over the sport is heavily loomed. Dodgers’ salary is up to $380 million in 2025.
However, the New York Mets (Juan Soto), the New York Yankees (Max Freed), the Chicago Cubs (Kyle Tucker), the Arizona Diamondbacks (Corbin Burns), the San Francisco giants (Willy Adams), and the Athletics ( Luis Severino) has made a big splash in recent months, earning a postseason run and perhaps looking to protect Los Angeles from repeated World Series.
