One year ago, I had a revelation: Why wait until March to make flawed predictions about the upcoming baseball season when I can get out in front of everybody else and make flawed predictions in November? That’s why I wrote way-too-early division predictions for the 2020 season. This was an

At the beginning of 2015, the Cubs had the best farm system in baseball and perhaps the game's best collection of position prospects in decades.

On Monday night, Kyle Lewis of the Mariners and the Brewers’ Devin Williams were chosen as the 2020 Jackie Robinson Rookies of the Year. Now that that’s been decided, we can start looking at who will win the hardware in each league in 2021. Some of the 30 candidates below
