Chicago White Sox
For a World Series champion, the Los Angeles Dodgers certainly had a flimsy starting rotation. Of the Dodgers' three main World Series starters, only Yoshinobu Yamamoto started at least 15 games in Los Angeles this season. The other two, Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler, are both free agents to boot. The Dodgers should have plenty of help coming back.

Back in 1962 when the Mets were born they set what was perceived to be the worst won/loss record in the history of the game. Last season the Chicago White Sox one-upped the Mets in a 162 game full season.

The Chicago White Sox front office seems intent on trading ace pitcher Garrett Crochet this offseason. It makes sense considering four of the Sox's top 10 prospects are position players with one at the Complex League and another at Low-A ball. The White Sox have third baseman Bryan Ramos, catcher Edgar Quero, and shortstop Colson Montgomery, who are among their top 15 prospects that are at or close to being ready to contribute at the big leagues.

There will be another Japanese pitching sensation on the free-agent market this offseason. While Roki Sasaki has been posted for all 30 MLB teams to bid with the Chiba Lotte Marines to obtain his services, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the odds-on favorite to win the right to sign him. Just do not add the White Sox to one of the bidders. The main reason the Sox will not be in on Sasaki is they have announced that the club will not be spending much on free agents this offseason despite losing a record 121 games.

Major League Baseball followers are breathlessly anticipating the opening volleys of the New York Mets' expected offseason onslaught. Owner Steve Cohen and his seemingly bottomless pockets have been linked with nearly every bank-busting free agent available this winter and are also seen to be a likely player in the offseason trade market as well. While there have been several reports linking the Mets as a prospective trading partner with the Chicago White Sox for starting pitcher Garrett Crochet, Mike Axisa of CBS Sports takes it one step further. Axisa projects the Mets to acquire not only Crochet but also outfielder Luis Robert Jr. in one single massive trade that could radically transform both teams.

Will Venable is a busy man these days. The new manager of the Chicago White Sox is learning his way around the organization. As Venable assembles his first coaching staff with Chicago, he has at least one name in mind: Grady Sizemore, interim manager for the White Sox at the end of last season. “There'll be a role for him,” Venable said Friday after slipping on his new No. 1 Chicago jersey during a news conference at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The Boston Red Sox already have four quality arms in their starting rotation and perhaps a fifth if Nick Pivetta accepts his qualifying offer. Sure, Tanner Houck turned into an All-Star last season and Brayan Bello, Kutter Crawford and Lucas Giolito, who missed all of the 2024 campaign due to Tommy John surgery, are reliable options, but Breslow knows something is missing on the staff.
