  • The Next Big 3 Has Arrived

    The Next Big 3 Has Arrived

    Have you ever heard of big 3’s? World domination as I like to call them. It is derive by the strength and numbers of what a ball club, organization, or franchise consist and this year it is no different than what is to come with the arrival of the big 3, again.

    I am talking flashing light like always but even louder, noisier, and bigger with the likes of Los Angeles’ own Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and unbelievably Roki Sasaki.

    This is a world domination beginning in Hollywood. The flames are passing along to other’s misery anticipation of the 2025 MLB regular season.

    That is not to say what the future holds for MLB as a whole.

    The misery was no different for Los Angeles offseason but what they leaned on was the prominent signing of Roki Sasaki and possibly sealing the future of at least years 10 years to start.

    Japanese born descent players have changed the game. They are no longer the generation of old that bored the MLB community. Now, it is pop funk fun, only, to the credit of L.A. and that is concerning because we saw the last situation such as this evaporate in the Miami Heat and the Dodgers are set in financial ways like no other.

    Ohtani is a phenomenon but history repeats itself with the size and increase and player’s egos and personalities in Major League Baseball. For now, Ohtani, the Dodgers ball club franchise organization unite and lean on last year’s acquisition of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and promising Roki Sasaki who seems to be the silencer from the gate and draw attention like any Big 3.

  • Why The Mets Future is Neutrally Bleak

    Why The Mets Future is Neutrally Bleak

    The Mets future is termed, “bleak,” according to the Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. At least as of this moment. Rosenthal did not hold back claiming the Mets are inclined to test the waters this off-season on Yoshinobu Yamamoto of Japan.

    While Shohei Ohtani is the clear target for all 32 MLB teams, realistic signs point to New York again capitalizing on the international market like Kodai Senga and acquire the multi-time NPL Triple Crown winner, Yamamoto. Senga, speaking of which, may not be generating Ohtani headlines, but just a month ago he fanned 12K and in his debut proved to be confident.

    The glaring hole rests in the 2023 MLB Trade Deadline. The Mets said see you later to notably Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Mark Canha, and Tommy Pham in an uprise of sorts to presumably respond to the Mets abysmal June of no registered series wins or simply turn the page with prospects such as OF Drew Gilbert, INF LuisAngel Acuna, and several others.

    Pat Ragazzo of InsideTheMets.com confirmed on Sports Kingdom the outgoing flood of incoming shortstop prospects. The Mets acquired four and Acuna (Mets No.1 prospect) is expected to significantly bolster the Mets bleak outcome.

    It has been said that Luis Angel does not match to Ronald Acuna’s trajectory but one notion is for certain. Luis Angel can play and silence the critics. There is no otherworldly margin for error.

    Steve Cohen has seemed to quietly fess for now but wait until the awaited off-season. It is neutrally just begun.
