Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers and Chris Sale have netted Vaughn Grissom, Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong, Jeter Downs, Jordan Hicks, and Kyle Harrison. Those trades would have the Red Sox kicked out of a fantasy league.
If you told Tigers fans before the 2022 season that in 2025 they:
- Have the best record in AL (22-13)
- Led in WAR by Baez (1.5)
- Torkelson tied 4th in HRs (10)
- Mize top 11 in AL in ERA (2.70)
- Greene with a 130 OPS+
They’d say: “Wow! That Al Avila knows what he’s doing!”
While it seems almost inevitable that 1B Pete Alonso returns to the Mets, the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox loom as co-favorites for 3B Alex Bregman with no movement in Astros talks.
Between the Yankees-Dodgers WS, OSU-Norte Dame CFP, and Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl, we’re at an all-time boring sports championship run.
What are the odds the NBA finals are Celtics v. Lakers??
My Opening Day predictions:
AL West: Astros
AL Central: Tigers
AL East: Orioles
NL West: Dodgers
NL Central: Cubs
NL East: Braves
World Series: Astros over Braves in 6
The dodger extending Will Smith makes a TON of sense!!
-Career 126 OPS+
-30 HRs/162 games
-An elite pitching staff no matter who the Dodgers trot out there
-1.91 avg POP time
-75th percentile in Blocks above avg
Very underrated how impactful he is for the juggernaut
