The recent comments from Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes about the 2024 World Series have sparked quite a debate. He claims that despite the Dodgers winning, the Yankees were the better team, and that they should have taken Game 1 if not for that unforgettable walk-off grand slam by Freddie Freeman. This raises some intriguing questions about the nature of competition in baseball.

How much do moments define a team's legacy? Can a single play, like Freeman's grand slam, overshadow an entire series? Cortes seems to believe that the Yankees had the upper hand, but does that sentiment hold any weight when the final score tells a different story?

As we gear up for the new season, what are your bold predictions for the Dodgers? Will they successfully defend their title and become back-to-back champions, or do you think another team will rise to the occasion? With injuries affecting key players and new faces joining the roster, how do you see the dynamics shifting this year?

Also, let's talk about the psychological aspect of the game. Cortes is clearly still feeling the sting of that loss. How do you think players cope with such high-pressure moments, and can it affect their performance in future games?

Join the conversation and share your thoughts! What do you think about Cortes' comments, and how do you see the Dodgers' chances this season?
