Is it Burnes/Cease or bust for 2024?
Yamamoto is now a Dodger, which doesn't come as a surprise. Cashman did everything he could, offering $300 million to a pitcher who has yet to pitch on American soil. But, in the end, Yamamoto had his sights set on Los Angeles to play with Ohtani, and who could blame him?
After acquiring Glasnow from Tampa Bay and signing Yamamoto to a lucrative 12-year deal, the Dodgers rotation quickly became one with depth and star power at the top. They have fully embraced the "World Series or bust" motto

Comparing Bernie Williams to other HOF ballotees
On every Hall of Fame ballot, voters face the decision that ultimately decides whether a player's career is worthy of being enshrined in Cooperstown.

Why Yoshinobu Yamamoto should not be priority for the Yankees
With what looked to be a season of high promise for the Yankees, it took a dramatic turn, resulting in what will be the first time missing the postseason since 2016. Expectations were through the roof for the 2023 season, but a combination of injuries and poor play turned this season into a massive disappointment.

What Does Rob Manfred’s Extension Mean For Major League Baseball?
2023 has marked the start of a new era for Major League Baseball with the addition of the pitch clock. Baseball has been seen as a sport that is dying in terms of popularity due to games being drawn out and not enough action taking place, and while it may look like the same game that has been played for more than 150 years, the changes that have been made in recent history are moves that had to be made to keep a high interest in the sport.

Who Could Be The Top Players Moved At The Trade Deadline?
As MLB’s trade deadline approaches, teams have until August 1 to decide whether they will make a run at the postseason or ship off their top players to contenders.

Is Paul Skenes The Greatest College Pitcher Ever?

Could There Ever Be Another .400 Hitter?
MLB’s history is full of records and milestones that were once thought to never be reached again.

Why Do Pitchers Continue To Use Foreign Substances?
Pitchers have been subject to one of the more recent rule changes implemented by MLB, no longer permitting them to use foreign substances to doctor baseballs. The league has strictly followed this policy, ejecting the pitcher from the game and handing down an automatic 10-game suspension in which the team cannot fill their roster spot during the suspension.
