The MLB season is right around the corner.
Most, if not all, of the questions we entered this offseason with have been answered. With James Shields signing with the San Diego Padres, all of the biggest free agents have now signed with new teams. Players have already started reporting to spring training and, with the first games just over two weeks away, most rosters are set.
However, the excitement of the rumor mill is far from over.
Cuban infield prospect Yoan Moncada, who “virtually every team in baseball covets,” according to MLB.com’s Jim Callis, will sign with a new team by the end of the month, per Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com.
Whether they admit it or not, the Philadelphia Phillies are officially in rebuilding mode. Ace Cole Hamels and closer Jonathan Papelbon are still on the market, but are they going to start the season in Philly?
There’s also that Alex Rodriguez fella, who is back dominating the media again with the New York Yankees. What can we expect from him in 2015 and beyond?
I can’t wait for the season to begin, but first, there are a few more deals that could change the landscape of the 2015 season.
