Plus: Which division champ will repeat?
Good morning! Helton was quite the QB -- just ask Peyton Manning. |

Let's discuss potential Hall of Famers of the future Now that the Hall of Fame's Class of 2024 is complete with the elections of Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton and Joe Mauer, the question becomes: Who's next? Here is a preview of each of the next five BBWAA ballots, starting with 2025, a class that includes two very strong first-ballot candidates. |
|
|
| In four of the past six seasons, we've had three repeat divsion champions. Will we see three again in 2024? One thing is certain: It won't be easy. |
|
|
| A contingent of former teammates were at Globe Life Field yesterday to celebrate Adrián Beltré, who seemed to be the only person surprised by his Hall of Fame election. "It just blows my mind." |
|
|
| The Angels have youngster Nolan Schanuel penciled in as their starting first baseman, but Joey Votto could be a fit for an opening at the DH spot. |
|
|
| One of the first game-worn MLB jerseys by Hall of Fame electee Joe Mauer resides not in a display case at Target Field, but in a frame on a wall in a guest house in ... South Carolina. |
|
| | Joey Gallo has stepped into many roles throughout his career, and for a team seeking power and veteran leadership, the 30-year-old slugger brings both. |

Joe Mauer's election to the Hall of Fame could be seen as a sign of the shift in the way BBWAA voters evaluate players. And while it can be fraught to try drawing sweeping conclusions based on the example of any one Hall player's career, it's fair to wonder if there are future candidates who could reasonably look at Mauer's first-ballot election and feel better about their chances. |

Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton and Joe Mauer played a significant part of their careers in this golden age of baseball data, and we can use some of that data to capture a snapshot of what makes them Hall of Famers. |

|
Seven of the 10 players on the new Top 10 Shortstops Prospects list -- led by current No. 1 overall prospect Jackson Holliday -- are expected to reach the big leagues this year. |

|
Football wasn't the best sport for Todd Helton at Tennessee -- where he was teammates with Peyton Manning -- but he took the gridiron mentality into baseball "and let it out into every game." |
| |
| Yordan Alvarez retained the top spot for a second straight year, but there was plenty of movement behind him thanks to position switches and emerging stars. |
| |
|
Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton and Joe Mauer, the newest members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2024, take questions live from Cooperstown at noon ET on MLB Network. |
