That Mets and Yankees hot take has been pretty accurate so far. Both are probably going to finish 3rd or worse.

[@nathanwoller3886]

Marccc don’t act like I won’t forget that whole naming ur kid stuff… 😂 yeah safe to say I’m pulling for judge now this season lmao

[@BashBroJoe]

Hot take as an Orioles fan. Last season was not who they were yet and Elias was smart not to go Tigers mode and give bad contracts as a result.

[@KCN007]

Mountcastle going to bounce back?

[@fortynights1513]

M’s fan, and they certainly have potential. Side note: Wasn’t Means injured this past season?

[@baseballmvp26]

@@KCN007 no he actually hit the ball harder in 2022 than 21 but the stupid left field wall makes it to where you have to hit if perfect

[@cliffordosborne8810]

Totally agree they should spend when some of their pitching prospects like Grayson start performing well in the majors

[@BashBroJoe]

@BMB Left field hurt Mountcastle. He will be fine but definitely in the middle of the pack as far as 1b’s are concerned. Could upgrade at some point. @FortyNights Yea the O’s are on the cusp but as you see with the tigers if you put the chips in too early and you’re wrong you could enter another rebuild with bad contracts on the books. Not an ideal situation and yea Means was hurt for about 98% of the season. He may have only made a few starts.

[@wasfurious]

Well hopefully Seiya recovers quickly to fulfill that hot take!

Hot take: Andres Munoz establishes himself as the best reliever in the AL by the end of 2023

[@fortynights1513]

Hot take: Andrew Painter makes the Phillies opening day rotation because he looked so good during his time pitching in the Grapefruit League

[@TurdFerguson643]

At this point, he has to, even if it’s a 3 inning stint. 99 mph fastball on a 19 year old is mind blowing

[@kylemiller8914]

Hot take:Ricky tiedemann will make the blue jays as a starter this year

[@paulallen3665]

My hot take: Giants get back to the playoffs as a wildcard team behind big seasons from Joc Pederson and Mitch Haniger who both hit at least 20 homers, a resurgent performance from Michael Conforto that earns him comeback player of the year honors, and an insane pitching staff led by Logan Webb who finishes top 5 in Cy Young voting, Tony Desclafani and Alex Wood regain 2021 form, Sean Manea has a bounce back year, Ross Stripling replicates his 2022 success, Alex Cobb has another solid year, Kyle Harrison wins NL Rookie of the Year, and a scary back end bullpen trio of the Rogers twins and a Camilo Doval who makes the all star team and records 30+ saves with a sub 2 era and is a serious contender for NL reliever of the year.

[@kylestratton]

[@poocrafter2]

@@bockstaboi6638 Anything? Well Julio finished 7th last year as a 21 year old true rookie. Robbie Ray has won a Cy Young already, Castillo has shown flashes of dominance and just needs to put it together for a full season, Kirby has true ace stuff, and Logan isn't half bad himself. Mariners were 3 pitches from beating Houston. They would have beaten the Yankees, I'm sure of that. So the only question was really could they beat the Phillies and that's a strong possibly. Are all 3 of these things together super likely to happen? No, but it's possible they could and there's an even better possibility for any 1 of the 3 to happen. My money would be on Julio winning MVP if he goes 40-40

My two hot takes are that the Dodgers finish second behind San Diego this season, and Ohtani goes to Seattle in 2024. First, the Dodgers have a lot of question marks outside of Gonsolin and Urias in the rotation without Buehler for the yr, plus a questionable bullpen, while not doing much to replace the guys that left, likely for a run at Ohtani while the Padres did a lot to improve and are getting Tatis back. As for Seattle getting Ohtani, they have a history of Japanese stars playing there (Ichiro, Sasaki and Iwakuma), they have money to spend, and they're contenders in a wets coast city.

[@jaimelannister1797]

Dodgers bullpen is always good. And they have plenty of starting pitching depth. Thor is solid, Kershaw is still elite, and they have Dustin May in the back end who can he elite. They also have tons of guys in the minors that’ll be ready like Pepiot, Miller, Stone, and Grove
