As the 2025 MLB season kicks off, the excitement is palpable, but so are the concerns. The Cubs have made headlines by promoting Matt Shaw, but the injury bug has already bitten, with Royce Lewis starting the season on the injured list and Jon Gray suffering a wrist fracture. This raises some intriguing questions about team depth and the impact of injuries on playoff aspirations.

Freddie Freeman's rib discomfort is another point of contention. After battling through a similar issue last postseason, Dodger fans must be on edge. Is this a sign of a lingering problem that could affect his performance throughout the season? How do you think the Dodgers should manage his health moving forward?

On the trade front, Rafael Devers reportedly considered asking for a trade. What does this mean for the Red Sox's future? Could we see a major shake-up in the AL East if he decides to move?

And let's not forget the Rays, who have exercised their club option on Yandy Díaz while also adding a vesting option for 2027. With the Rays not moving forward with plans for a new ballpark, how do you think this will affect their long-term strategy?

With all these developments, what bold predictions do you have for the season? Will injuries derail a contender's hopes, or will a surprise team rise to the occasion? Share your thoughts and let's dive into the discussions!
