The offseason is heating up, and with recent moves like the Marlins signing Cal Quantrill and the Angels bringing in Kenley Jansen, it's clear that teams are gearing up for a competitive 2025 season. But the big news that has everyone talking is Anthony Rendon's impending hip surgery, which could sideline him for a significant period.

This raises some intriguing questions: How will the Angels cope without Rendon, especially with their playoff aspirations? Will this injury impact their strategy in the trade market? And what does this mean for the future of Rendon in Los Angeles?

On the other hand, the Cardinals' arbitration decisions have sparked debate among fans. Winning the hearing against Brendan Donovan but losing to Lars Nootbaar has left many wondering about the front office's approach. Are they making the right moves to develop young talent, or are they risking alienating players who could be key to their future?

Let’s not forget the Dodgers re-signing Clayton Kershaw and the Padres adding Jason Heyward. With these veteran players staying put, how do you see their teams shaping up for the upcoming season?

Bold prediction time: Which team do you think will make the biggest splash before the season starts? Will we see any surprising trades or signings that could shift the balance of power in the league?
