MLB 2026

This may be a little early but we have the WBC in March this year, and it's Truck Day in Boston... (I wish it was "we finally signed a freakin' infielder to replace Bregman day"  ) which means Pitchers & Catchers report soon. 

How's the off-season played out for your team? Predictions for the season? What's your level of interest in the WBC? What do you see happening with this lockout, CBA, etc? 

Discuss the above, discuss whatever you wish MLB related...

Giants got Harrison Bader and Luis Arraez. Should help a bit offensively and defensively.  We still need a starter and ace closer. I am cautious.

I’m excited to see Mackenzie Gore pitch with the rest of that rotation. Eovaldi, deGrom, and Gore? Crazy. As for the rest of the team, going to need some standout performances from Carter, Langford, and Burger. Going to need Seager, Jung, and Smith to stay healthy for most of the season, and deGrom too for that matter. We’ll see.

Your good friends in LA continue to add. Bonkers roster. 

We just got rid of Jordan Hicks from the Devers trade. Still eating 8m. Given we still haven't replaced Bregman, that trade looks more amazingly sickening for us each day. We really know how to trade away franchise stars in Boston. 🤦‍♂️

We need a solid infield defender/rh bat pretty badly, given we've bolstered the rotation significantly and need a good defence to back that up. And a lefty reliever. If we do those two things and the kids come up big this year I don't mind where we're at.

The Dodgers will be better than they were last year. I wouldn't sweat it Mike 😂

Unless they’re worse, that is 😄

Truck Day baby! Spring is around the corner.

The KC Royals didnt add much. I am predicting a 79-83 record and thats being generous. Anyone else want to predict their teams record then revisit the beginning of this thread in October? And no Mike the LAD will not go 162-0

Phils are basically running it back…which is genius considering they’ve gotten worse every season since 22. Lazy front office.
