The Brewers are World Series champions, at last. But they’re certainly not looking to be a one-and-done champ. And given their exciting young core of players, a repeat or at least another title or two over the next few years is not at all a far-fetched notion. With that in

The Yankees’ rotation is looking sharp. Led by American League Cy Young Award finalist Cam Schlittler, New York’s starters finished the 2026 regular season with an MLB-best 3.30 ERA, the lowest mark by any team since the Dodgers (2.75) and Astros (2.95) back in 2022. Few Yankees squads in recent

Just how good can the Phillies rotation be in 2027? The floor, as usual, should be high. Cristopher Sánchez, Zack Wheeler and Jesús Luzardo are bona fide aces. Veteran Aaron Nola is no longer in that camp, but he is a serviceable No. 4 starter who made 33 starts this

The best free-agent hitter -- perhaps the best non-Tarik Skubal free agent -- this offseason might just be someone who’s never been an All-Star or major award winner. We’re talking about Seiya Suzuki, who has quietly become one of baseball’s most consistent hitters in five years with the Cubs. He

CHICAGO -- Pete Crow-Armstrong pieced together a season for the ages this year, authoring one of the best showings in the storied history of the Cubs and one of the great all-around performances in baseball’s annals.
