FanSided MLB experts elect 3 to Mock Baseball Hall of Fame As this is the third year FanSided’s MLB Division experts voiced their opinion on who should be enshrined in our mock Baseball Hall of Fame, it’s only fitting that three players met those standards. At last, FanSiders elected a pair of controversial figures, at least in
The Cardinals seem unlikely to sign either free agent shortstop Carlos Correa or Trevor Story, despite a need at the position. Story made the most sense, especially at the beginning of the offseason. The former Rockie is an old teammate of Nolan Arenado, who has proven the transition from Coors Field to Busch Stadium is

The latest on Carlos Correa has two big players — the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers — going in opposite directions in their pursuit. The Correa chase appears to be down to four teams — the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs and Astros. Once the lockout ends, the real games begin, as official offers can
The Atlanta Braves may have had interest in Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa back in December, but that interest should only reinforce the notion that Freddie Freeman is coming back. If the Atlanta Braves were to let Freddie Freeman walk, Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa could be a potential high-profile replacement, albeit an extremely unlikely one. Atlanta reportedly showed
If you wanted to win Jorge Soler’s Game 6 home run that helped the Atlanta Braves win the World Series, you are going to have to take out a loan. With the lack of MLB news due to the ongoing lockout, fans can always look back to fond memories involving their favorite teams. For the
HOUSTON, TEXAS – NOVEMBER 02: Freddie Freeman #5 of the Atlanta Braves (Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images) Freddie Freeman and Carlos Correa have been the free agents getting most of the attention this offseason. But there are other names teams should covet. With a winning history on offense and defense, Freddie Freeman and Carlos Correa
A surprise team has entered the Freddie Freeman chase — or at least been named as a potential suitor: The Detroit Tigers. Does the fit make sense? The Tigers already made one free agent splash this offseason by signing Javier Baez before the lockout. They also added a shutdown pitcher in former Red Sox hurler
MLB super-agent Scott Boras could actually help the Houston Astros keep Carlos Correa, despite the lack of negotiations thus far in free agency. Correa got tired of waiting, despite the fact we’re in the middle of an MLB lockout, and therefore hired Boras. Thankfully for Correa, Boras has a history of landing his clients lucrative
The Chicago Cubs could be out of the running if Carlos Correa isn’t willing to adjust his salary expectations. With Scott Boras as agent, that feels unlikely. Boras was hired on Tuesday, and since he’s already publicly flirted with Correa’s former team, the Houston Astros. The Dodgers remain the Dodgers, so they have money to
Former Red Sox coach Tom Goodwin claims MLB bullied non-playing personnel into getting vaccinated When the Boston Red Sox made their unexpected foray into the 2021 postseason, they were without a key member of the staff. Major League Baseball had implemented a vaccine mandate for non-playing personnel in the postseason, and Tom Goodwin was unvaccinated.
The Boston Red Sox have maintained interest in Japanese outfielder Seiya Suzuki all offseason. What would it take to get a deal done? Suzuki is a bit of an unknown at this point, as his only real professional baseball experience is in NPB, rather than MLB. Any team that takes on Suzuki — and the
Former Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa pulled the trigger on Tuesday night, hiring super-agent Scott Boras to get a deal done after the lockout. Correa’s camp was failing at getting such a contract done before the lockout, and rumors of those demands falling during the work stoppage didn’t do him many favors. With Corey Seager
Carlos Correa hired Scott Boras as an agent, perhaps resetting the market as a whole. What does this mean for Freddie Freeman? Correa’s decision impacts the entire free agent landscape, at least when such a landscape can be explored. Boras is the most well-known agent in all of baseball for a reason, and his clients

The Atlanta Braves have plenty to be worried about in the Freddie Freeman chase, especially because there’s nothing they can do at the moment. Freeman remains a free agent thanks to the lockout, which prevents teams like the Braves from consulting with players. The top first baseman on the open market — and one of
Before the MLB lockout, Javier Baez inked a lucrative deal with the Detroit Tigers. Here’s why Javy signed with Detroit over all other contenders. On Nov. 27, it was considered unlikely that the Detroit Tigers would “make a market-busting offer right now” for free market shortstop Javier Baez. Conversely, it seemed unlikely that Baez would “rush
Red Sox and Phillies all-time saves leader Jonathan Papelbon says he’ll never retire. At one point in the classic baseball film, Moneyball serves viewers this painfully accurate truth: “We’re all told at some point in time that we can no longer play the children’s game, we just don’t…we don’t know when that’s gonna be. Some of
Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Where is Carlos Correa’s preferred destination after switching agents? Adding Scott Boras to the mix makes a major difference right away. Correa’s contract expectations skyrocketed immediately after adding Scott Boras to the mix. Boras clients rarely take less than what they deserve, MLB lockout
Super agent Scott Boras made waves when he signed Carlos Correa, but he also added Reds rookie star Jonathan India to his client list as well. Scott Boras collects star baseball players like Ash Ketchum collects Pokemon. He’s gotta catch them all. Already Boras boosted his client list this year by picking up top free
If David Ortiz is David Ortiz, then Dan Shaughnessy just became the bullpen phone. Last week, the veteran Boston Globe columnist made his Hall of Fame ballot public and revealed that he had only voted for Jeff Kent for reasons that can only be described as holier-than-thou, writing “Here I am voting only for second baseman Jeff
The Yankees are striking out on free agent shortstops, so why not head to the trade market and a division rival for help? The Yankees have a glaring need to address at the shortstop position. Prior to the lockout, New York was linked to big name shortstops such as Corey Seager (now with the Texas
MLB Insider Jim Bowden has suggested trading St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong to the Minnesota Twins for outfielder Trevor Larnach. But, why? The Athletic’s MLB Insider Jim Bowden has suggested a trade that would make little sense for the St. Louis Cardinals in swapping Paul DeJong for Trevor Larnach. DeJong has had a terrible
Astros fans are more worried than ever about losing star shortstop Carlos Correa, but a recent rumor doesn’t mean they’re out of the running just yet. Correa was reportedly shopping some game-used Astros gear of late, making it seem like he’s on his way out of Houston. At the very least, his timing was curious.
Trading Craig Kimbrel isn’t in the Chicago White Sox best interest. However, they should consider dealing Andrew Vaughn. When the White Sox drafted first baseman Andrew Vaughn in 2019, he was near MLB-ready and a star first baseman in the making. The only issue? Chicago already has one of the best first basemen in the
The New York Mets need a starting pitching, and the Cincinnati Reds have an abundance of them. In theory, this would make the two teams ideal trade partners. Although the Mets have addressed many of their roster shortcomings in the offseason, the pitching mound remains an area of need for the New York team, despite
FORT MYERS, FL – FEBRUARY 26: St. Louis Cardinals Sr. Vice President & General Manager John Mozeliak (Photo by Leon Halip/Getty Images) Once the MLB Lockout ends, teams will get busy solidifying their rosters prior to the 2022 season. The St. Louis Cardinals have some interesting moves they could make. When MLB and the MLBPA
With Dansby Swanson in a contract year, here is the compelling case for the Atlanta Braves to sell high on their borderline All-Star shortstop. While much of Atlanta Braves fans’ attention is occupied with the on-going Freddie Freeman free agency saga, they need to come to grips over Dansby Swanson entering in a contract year. Atlanta traded
