MLB Teams Plan Major Changes for 2025 Season

Several Major League Baseball teams are undergoing significant changes and potential rebuilds as they prepare for the 2025 season. The Miami Marlins have cleaned house, firing over 70 staff members, and are considering Cleveland Guardians bench coach Craig Albernaz as a managerial candidate due to his ties with the Marlins' front office. Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox, after a dismal 41-121 season, are searching for a new manager with candidates including Phil Nevin, Daniel Descalso, and Will Venable. The St. Louis Cardinals, despite retaining manager Oli Marmol, might trade All-Star closer Ryan Helsley as part of a rebuild, with Alec Bohm of the Phillies being a potential part of the deal. The New York Mets, having unexpectedly reached the National League Championship Series, are looking to bolster their team with potential free agents like Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes. The Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals are both looking to improve after challenging seasons, with the Rockies optimistic about their young talent and the Nationals considering strategic free agency signings.
