1/10/25	Red Sox can 'still hope' for blockbuster trade to land Marlins $56 million Cy Young. The Miami Marlins have largely moved on from their most proven talents ahead of the 2025 season, but one major star player remains.

12/30/24	Rangers resolutions: What Texas needs to do to make 2025 a success. As 2024 draws to a close, the Texas Rangers are turning their backs on a disappointing season of baseball and looking forward to the prospect of returning to some postseason play. Players like Jake Burger, Joc Pederson, and Kyle Higashioka might not be flashy names like Juan Soto or Blake Snell, but given what the Rangers needed to accomplish, they should provide some much-needed pop and power to the lineup. Re-signing Nathan Eovaldi as the headliner so far this winter, and bringing on relievers Jacob Webb, Hoby Milner, Robert Garcia, and Shawn Armstrong help to fortify a pitching staff that has needed some proven depth for several years.
