Reasons for each MLB team to be optimistic — and pessimistic — about the rest of the season
Believe it or not, we have played five weeks of the regular season, and already we’ve seen enough to identify reasons for optimism and pessimism for all 30 teams.
Is the glass half-empty? Half-full? From those at the top of the MLB power rankings to those at the bottom, every team has reasons for hope and concern in 2024.

Atlanta Braves
Reason for optimism: The Braves have the best lineup in baseball one to nine, with athleticism, power
What we learned in MLB’s first month of the season, an unpredictable and electric April
So what do you know. We made it through April. What a bizarre month.
Taylor Ward outhomered a guy who hit 54 homers last year (Matt Olson). Maikel Garcia had more extra-base hits than Vlad Guerrero Jr.
Ronel Blanco has been the best starting pitcher on the Astros. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner (Blake Snell) has been the worst starting pitcher on the Giants.
Josh Hader’s ERA is over 6.00. Brennan Bernardino’s ERA is under 1.00.

MLB offseason grades 2.0 : Which teams passed — and which teams failed
The Athletic’s MLB offseason grades 1.0.
By Tim Britton, Grant Brisbee and Aaron Gleeman
According to a report by an economics professor at Yale University, roughly 80 percent of all grades handed out to undergraduate students last year were As. Too bad for major-league executives, then, that they don’t attend Yale (at least not anymore, in several cases). The grading is going to be harsher here.
The best teachers, of course, are kind enough to allow for revision. We first
2024 Fantasy Baseball: 8 potenzielle Draft-Pleite aus dem Außenfeld
Der Fantasy-Baseball-Analyst Dalton Del Don bietet eine Reihe davon an Draft-Bust-Kandidaten pro Position – Als nächstes kommen die Outfielder.
Robert ist einer der besten Fantasy-Hitter, wenn er gesund ist, aber seine Dienste kosten ihn jetzt einen Top-30-Pick aus der ersten Saison, in der er während seiner Karriere 100 gespielte Spiele erreichte. Er hat sich Ende der letzten Saison seinen MCL verstaucht, und obwohl Robert bis 2024 völlig gesund sein sollte, ist dies ein weiterer Grund zur Verbesserung eine lange Liste
2024 MLB ‘Wild-Card Era’ Franchise Rankings: Rangers break into top 10, Cubs fall out
As Jonah Heim squeezed the final strike of the 2023 postseason and Josh Sborz spiked his mitt on the mound to celebrate the Texas Rangers’ first World Series title, a thought crossed my mind: How will this change the franchise rankings?
See, the Wild-Card Era (1995 to present) franchise rankings are not a creation of my fallible mind. They are borne from a tested, trusted, completely objective, never-been-questioned, all-math, no-bias formula borrowed from football writer Bob Sturm and tweaked to
Rosenthal: Was ich über Handelsgespräche mit dem White-Sox-Pitcher Dylan Cease höre
Am frühen Dienstag hörte ich, dass die Texas Rangers kurz davor stehen könnten, den Rechtshänder Dylan Cease von den Chicago White Sox zu übernehmen. Zumindest zu diesem Zeitpunkt stellte sich heraus, dass der Hinweis nicht wahr war, aber zwei über die Gespräche informierte Quellen bestätigten, dass die Teams kürzlich Gespräche geführt hatten.
Was Sinn macht. Es mehren sich die Anzeichen, dass die White Sox den Handel mit Cease ernster nehmen. Und die Rangers werden ihre Meisterschaftsverteidigung im Jahr 2024 mit

Jerry Reinsdorf’s White Sox era takes another turn with new stadium push
For all his mishegas and misdirection, Chicago White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is right on one thing: It’s either now or later.
Either he’s asking the city and state for more than a billion bucks of public money for a new stadium right now or someone else is going to be asking for it down the road.
The prospects of the White Sox leaving town have been rumored for months, from the rumors of a Nashville interest to Reinsdorf’s more
Top 100 MLB prospects 2024: Keith Law’s rankings, with Jackson Holliday at No. 1
Welcome to this year’s ranking of the top 100 prospects in baseball. I’ve been compiling and writing such rankings for 17 years now, and those of you who’ve read them before will find the format here similar to those from the recent past. My farm reports covering at least 20 prospects in each team’s system, and notes on prospects who might appear in the majors this year, or who might be breakout prospects for the 2025 rankings, will appear starting
What we learned from the Baseball Hall of Fame election: Beltré’s big night, Mauer power and more
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — There were Adrián Beltré and Joe Mauer. This was their first Hall of Fame election. They won’t need a second. On Tuesday, they became baseball’s newest first-ballot Hall of Famers. And that stamps them as baseball royalty, connected forever to this special stamp of greatness.
Beltré reeled in 95.1 percent of the vote. That’s the same percentage as a guy named Babe Ruth. If he ever needs to impress people at a party over the next 40
