Draft Advice: Tips on player picks and team-building.
#9009
As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the landscape of baseball is shifting in intriguing ways. The Los Angeles Dodgers are poised to defend their title, but can they fend off the rising threats from teams like the San Diego Padres and the revamped New York Mets? With the addition of Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki to their rotation, the Dodgers seem stronger than ever, but will their depth hold up against the rigors of a long season?

Speaking of strength, can Shohei Ohtani replicate his historic 50-50 season now that he’s back on the mound? His performance last year was nothing short of legendary, but the question remains: will the demands of pitching impact his offensive output? As fantasy players, how do you value Ohtani this season? Is he still a top pick, or do you see potential risks that could affect his performance?

And what about Juan Soto? After signing a massive contract with the Mets, will the pressure of living up to that deal change his game? He thrived in a powerful lineup with the Yankees, but will he be able to maintain that level of production without the same level of protection?

On the flip side, the Chicago White Sox are facing a daunting challenge after a historically bad season. With minimal changes to their roster, can they avoid repeating last year's disaster? Or are they destined for another rough ride?

Lastly, let’s not forget the impact of the new rules and the City Connect uniforms. How do you think these changes will affect gameplay and fan engagement this season?

Let’s dive into these topics! What are your bold predictions for the 2025 season? Who do you think will surprise us, and who might fall flat? Share your thoughts and let’s get the conversation rolling!
