1 Bold prediction a day until MLB opening day, Day 2:
Wyatt Langford gets Top 3 MVP votes with an 8+ WAR season
The past 2 years Wyatt Langford has had good seasons, but I believe this year he will take the step to an MVP player. I had Langford ranked as my number 1 prospect coming into the 2024 season, and he should live up to those expectations in 2026 and moving forward.

1 bold prediction a day until MLB Opening Day, starting with day 1:
The Kansas City Royals win the AL Central
Off a disappointing 2025 campaign, the Royals have built a contending roster to get them back into the playoffs.
With the returning stars of Bobby Witt Jr, Vinnie Pasquantino, Maikel Garcia, Cole Ragans, and Kris Bubic, and the talented veteran presence of Salvador Perez, Carlos Estevez, Seth Lugo, and Michael Wacha, the Royals have a very talented and deep lineup and rotation. With Jac Caglianone, Noah Cameron, and Carter Jensen emerging as potential future stars, while also having Isaiah Collins, an outfield bat acquired this offseason, the Royals also have a lot of potential to make their lineup even better.
Theres many more impactful players on the roster, but with the powerful front and depth of a lineup, paired with a starting rotation with two elite arms and filled with veteran presence alongside a steady bullpen, I believe the Royals have what it takes to surpass the Tigers and the Guardians and win the division in 2026.

While the spotlight is on the Pirates for Brandon Lowe, and Jake Magnum, don’t leave out Mason Montgomery. Although he struggled in late relief with the Rays in 2025, his upside could make him a dominant set-up or even a potential closer with Pittsburgh.
Mason Montgomery throws from a high release point, averaging 98.7 miles per hour with 18.5 inches of vertical break. He also throws a slider that averages 89.7 miles per hour with sharp arm side break that plays very well with his fastball. Montgomery’s strong areas were his ability to get swing and misses while having opposing hitters chase frequently, however, he struggled with command which led to a high H/9 (9.6), and a high BB/9 (5.3). If his command improves, Montgomery will be one of the best relief options in the league with many years of control left.
I absolutely love this move for Pittsburgh. They upgraded their lineup heavily, while adding to their bullpen in Mason Montgomery, who could be a real game changer for the Buccos in 2026. #Pirates #LetsgoBucs #Pittsburgh #MLB

Orioles did indeed trade for a major starting pitcher, acquiring Shane Baz from the Rays for a heavy asking price. Both Caden Bodine, and Michael Forrett were invovled in the deal who I had being traded👇 #Orioles#Rays#Birdland#Raysup#MLB
With the Baltimore Orioles signing star first baseman, Pete Alonso, this gives them one of the best lineups in baseball. This could allow the Orioles to trade some of their young, promising players for proven pitching talent.
Here are my favorite possible trade proposals:
Trade 1:
Orioles receive: Sandy Alcantara-RHP
Marlins receive: Coby Mayo-3B/1B, Caden Bodine-C (#10)
Although at a high price, this gives the Orioles a potential frontline starter who has a couple years of control, while the Marlins would be receiving immense talent at both the corner infield, and catcher position.
Trade 2:
Orioles receive: Freddy Peralta-RHP
Brewers receive: Enrique Bradfield Jr.-OF (#4), Michael Forret-RHP (#11)
The Orioles would receive an ace who gives a consistent 160+ innings for 1 year, while the Brewers would receive a speedy, talented outfielder in Bradfield Jr. and a pitcher who’s seen great success paired with great stuff.
Trade 3:
Orioles receive: Seth Lugo-RHP
Royals receive: Heston Kjerstad-OF
Orioles would get a veteran pitcher who can pitch good quality innings, while the Royals get a young, projectable outfielder who fills a hole in their roster.

The Nationals just acquired catching prospect, Harry Ford, for left-handed reliever, Jose Ferrer.
The Nationals needed a catcher, and the Mariners need bullpen help while being locked in with Cal Raleigh at the catcher position.
Harry Ford is the 42nd ranked prospect in baseball, while being ranked 3rd in the catching position. Ford had a good year in the minors in 2025 hitting .283 with 16 home runs and a .868 ops. A great get for the Nationals who should be on the opening day roster.
First glance this trade could seem lopsided, however, Jose Ferrer was one of the better relievers when looking at underlying metrics while not hitting arbitration until 2027. In 76.1 innings, Ferrer pitched to a 4.48 ERA, with a 3.03 FIP. Ferrer was exceptional at limiting walks and home runs, and primarily struggled with giving up hits. Jose Ferrer also was elite at limiting barrels and giving up ground balls. Pairing these underlying metrics with T-Mobile park could give Jose Ferrer an opportunity to be one of the best set up mans in baseball in 2026.

The Angels just acquired Grayson Rodriguez from the Angels in exchange for Taylor Ward. First thoughts👇
The Angels cashed in on this trade in my opinion, as Taylor Ward is a win-now player and the Angels are not in a place to win. Of course, Grayson Rodriguez comes with injury concerns, but when healthy he has potential to be a game changer for the Halos.
In 2024, Rodriguez pitched in 116.2 innings striking out 130 with an ERA of 3.86 and a whip at 1.24. His fastball is a solid pitch that sits in the mid-high 90’s, however his change up was an elite pitch in 2024. His breaking balls could use work, but from a first glance, the Angels have a chance to get a front of the line Ace with this move.
#Angels #LTBU #Orioles #Birdland #MLB #MLBOffseason
I watched him pitched multiple times. He throws an effortless high 90’s fastball with a good changeup and solid breaking balls with good shape, like mentioned. I truly thought he was going to be more dominate, but that’s probably been held back mainly by injuries. That’s why I like this move for the Halos. They have a pitcher who can perform at a top of the rotation pitcher.
