As fans panic about the money spent this offseason by the Dodgers, the D-backs are putting together a postseason-contending team reagrdless.

Juan Soto signed with the New York Mets, not only leaving the Orioles' division, but their league too. Corbin Burnes signed with Arizona and Roki Sasaki is a Los Angeles Dodger.But the O’s on Monday saw one of their own sign with another club and also stay in the American League East when outfielder Anthony Santander agreed to a five-year deal

Question: I don’t understand why Corbin Burnes was such a hot commodity.  His record with the Orioles was 15-9. So that was only a net gain of six games. Maybe you can explain why he is worth signing for so much money.

Ross Atkins must be feeling the heat in Toronto. The post Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Closes in on Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto’s Exclusive Club as a Heated Arbitration Battle Nears appeared first on EssentiallySports.

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is donating $500,000 to help firefighters and animals forced to flee the deadly wildfires around the region. Ohtani announced his intention on Instagram, with LA Strong in white lettering against a black background.

The Toronto Blue Jays made quite a splash on Monday after giving free agent outfielder Anthony Santander a five-year, $92.5

What do you buy for the team that has everything? That is the question that the Los Angeles Dodgers have been wrestling with this winter. The answer, it would appear, is Roki Sasaki.

Vlad Guerrero Jr. was signed by the Blue Jays, a 16-year-old diamond unearthed from the baseball rough of the Dominican Republic, he was a dream acquisition for Canada’s team. The year was 2015 and coincided with a nice run of optimism that was building around the team.

When two superstar players have already signed contracts worth enough guaranteed money to have owned their own major league franchises little more than a decade ago, it’s hard to view reliever Tanner Scott’s recent $72 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers as another sign of a looming baseball apocalypse.

The Orioles' and Rays' offseasons leave something to be desired, but it's reasonable to expect a strong 2025 from this group.

A case could be made that Sasaki was the most valuable pitcher on the winter free agent market because of the unique circumstances of his departure from from the Japan.

The Blue Jays had a group of players meet with Roki Sasaki before he picked the Dodgers but it did not include Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
