| It's never too early to pick MVP favorites ... and dark horses Last year brought us two monstrous MVP campaigns, though predicting Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuña Jr. before the season began was probably a pretty safe bet.

| Women in baseball have traveled a variety of paths to success, and many of them were celebrated while delivering advice at MLB headquarters on National Girls & Women in Sports Day. | | |
| This list already has some well-known prospects on it, and there's no doubt more of them will be household names a couple years down the road. | | |
| Believe it or not, this is not the first time Shohei Ohtani has been sculpted in snow. But this time he has a rendering of his furry friend beside him. | | |
