Summary

79% Informative

The Texas Rangers are off to a strong start to the season.

The Chicago Cubs and the Texas Rangers have the best chance of winning in 2025 .

The Atlanta Braves have started the season with a 2 -9 record.

The New York Yankees' use of torpedo bats dominated the early-season headlines.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a massive 14-year extension worth $500 million .

Were the Jays right to substantially increase their contract offer from earlier in the year ? Should the Blue Jays also push to extend or retain Bo Bichette , who is slated to hit free agency after the 2025 season ?.

MLB 's free-agent shortstop class in 2026 is pretty unappealing, with Trevor Story , Ha-Seong Kim, Orlando Arcia , Miguel Rojas , Isiah Kiner-Falefa , Amed Rosario and Paul DeJong the only other names set to hit the market.

Deesha Thosar and Rowan Kavner weigh in on whether torpedo bats will remain legal in MLB games in the long run.
