MLB 2025 Season

Ponce de Leon would be better off continuing his search for the fountain of youth at this point because the Cardinals are toast.

So the Nats pulled it together.  Is this because Bryce Harper is gone?  Says a lot about him and the talent that the Phillies had and couldn't reach the playoffs.

Dave Martinez was probably a few more losses earlier in the season from being fired. Now they're this close to a WS appearance

The team had injuries early and the team really wasn't hitting.

Robles didn't hit all that great in the begining, Rendon turned it on later, Turner was hurt.

The whole team finally came around and started to play.  I would expect the team to do much better next year.

Turner, Robles, Soto and Kieboom should be fun to watch next year w Rendon.

When has injuries and team not hitting save a manager's job. Rarely. Especially when he missed the playoffs with a playoff team.

You think they re-sign Rendon and Strasburg(When he opts out)?

Why on earth would you let the pitcher you drafted, played all his life for your team and will get in the HOF go when he's pitching great?

Same goes for Rendon.

I'd sign them both for another 5 years.

HOF? Seems presumptuous.

$$$  Rendon is going to get upwards of $200 million.  Be interesting to see what Strasburg pulls in

They aren't paying Harper and if they lock in Rendon for another 5 years they still have Soto and Turner on the cheap for a few more too so it shouldn't be that bad.

Strasburg might get more than Rendon, lol.

Howie Kendrick dialing in his video game persona these playoffs.

Saw a crazy stat over the weekend:  Old man Howie leads all of MLB with a .325 BA since the beginning of the 2018 season.

Lol rendon is getting a whole lot more than 5 years 

He'll be 31 come starting next season not 21.

He might get 7 but no way he gets offered 10. Those days are over for 30 YO's now.

If the Yankees win they will need to throw garbage on the field for good luck ... a poor man's rally monkey
