We’re a little over a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting in 2023 and soon the hours of sunshine a day will be longer and spring training will be upon us.
The'Houston Astros captured the 2022 World Series in a 6-game affair with the'Philadelphia Phillies, just 1 year after falling to the Atlanta Braves in their quest for a 2nd title. Houston was the top of the league in 2017, has captured the American League pennant 4 times in the last 6 seasons, and is once again a favorite to win it all in 2023.
The offseason — as always — has been filled with free agents making a splash. LHP Carlos Rodon returns to the AL in 2023 after inking a 6-year deal with the New York Yankees following a single season with the San Francisco Giants. Relief RHP Edwin Diaz signed a 5-year deal with the New York Mets.
Teams broke the bank for shortstops with'Trea Turner ($300M from the Philadelphia Phillies) and'Xander Bogaerts ($280M from the San Diego Padres) both signing 11-year deals. After a season of speculation, AL MVP OF'Aaron Judge decided to stay with the Yankees and penned a 9-year, $360M deal.
Below, we look at those 2023 World Series odds; be sure to check back for our MLB picks and predictions as the season ramps up.
