The qualifying offer system has been in place since the 2012-13 offseason, and this winter, we saw the most ever free agents receive offers – a whopping 20 players. The previous high was 13 back in the 2013-14 offseason, and 12 received offers last year. Here’s the full list, via MLB Trade Rumors. -Brett Anderson […]

Baseball’s third season starts tomorrow, when free agency opens up and players are allowed to negotiate with whatever team they please. This year should be one of the most memorable in a long time, with a number of big-name, big-ticket players hitting the open market. There are some true difference-makers out there for the taking […]

Given their .480 winning percentage as a division against the rest of the AL and their housing of two of the three worst teams in the American League, it is easy to look at the West as a weak division, but they did also produce two playoff teams this year. As a whole, the division […]

The NL West has a rough year in 2015. The Padres, expected to contend, stunk. The Rockies were awful, which has been par for the course in recent seasons. The Diamondbacks were surprising plucky, but never really challenged for a playoff spot. The Giants dealt with injuries all season. And the Dodgers? Well, they sort […]

New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey and Texas Rangers designated hitter Prince Fielder were announced as the 2015 NL and AL Comeback Player of the Year award winners today by the MLB. On the surface, Harvey and Fielder both had decent years, but were they really worthy of the award? Harvey missed all of 2014 following […]

The AL Central division was hotly contested for much of the year until the Royals ran away with it, but even then, there was dispute over the second through fourth spots through the end of the season. Going into free agency, it will actually be the top team with the most ground to make up as […]

The Central provided three of five National League playoff teams this year including the Cubs, who ultimately lost to New York in the NLCS. There is a sharp break in the Central, however, as the top three teams not only were dominant this year, but are in good position to stay there for years to […]

The Washington Nationals have retooled their coaching staff following an embarrassing season under the tutelage of Matt Williams. Former Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker was announced as the club’s manager after negotiations fell apart with Bud Black, and now they’re on the verge of adding another big name to their staff, reportedly bringing in Mike […]

We now move on to the AL East, which sent a pair of teams of teams to the Postseason only to see both fall short. The division wasn’t its usual bloodbath in 2015 – the Orioles, Rays, and Red Sox were all erratic and never really contended, while the Yankees were up and down before […]

This week, we’re kicking off our coverage of the three-plus months of the chaotic MLB offseason. Over the next three days, we’re going to look at each division in baseball and break down the impending free agents for each side and what each team will need this offseason. Without any further ado, we’ll start with […]

We are about to enter the free agent frenzy that is the MLB offseason. Hundreds of millions (and probably into the billions) of dollars will be thrown around, players will join new teams, and fans will react in excitement or agony with the new pieces their club has acquired. It’s not all positive, however, as […]

Being the manager of a World Series team can’t hurt a guy’s job prospects. Mets skipper Terry Collins was in the final year of his contract, but the team is signing him to a two-year extension, according to the New York Daily News‘ Kristie Ackert. Sources:
