Jeff Torborg, a link to a golden age of baseball, has passed. His career spanned catching no-hitters for Koufax AND Ryan to managing some truly memorable (and some infamously forgettable) teams. This begs the question: which era defined him? Was it his time behind the plate for those legendary pitchers or his managerial years, including an AL Manager of the Year award? Perhaps it's the totality of his contributions that truly matters. What stands out most to YOU about Torborg's career, and where does he rank among the catchers and managers of his time?
The flurry of offseason moves reported in this feed also raises some eyebrows. The Dodgers seem to be loading up, but are they spreading themselves too thin? Are the Mets making the right moves to rebound after a disappointing season? And what about those Blue Jays – can they finally break through in the AL East with these additions? Bold prediction: the AL East will be THE division to watch in 2025. Agree or disagree? What are YOUR bold predictions for the upcoming season based on these moves? Which teams are making the smartest moves, and who's setting themselves up for disappointment? Let the debate begin!
