Spring Training is underway, which means the 2015 MLB season is just around the corner. With opening day nigh, it’s time to open the debate on the World Series, Cy Young, and MVP favorites. (We’ll go first.)
It’s also time to look into our crystal ball and see what lies ahead for A-Rod’s comeback attempt, Pete Rose’s potential reinstatement, and the Phillies’ rebuild.
