The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed the 2024 World Series title by defeating the New York Yankees, marking their second championship victory in four years. As the offseason begins, significant attention focuses on key player decisions and potential trades across MLB teams, including the Yankees facing the challenge of retaining Juan Soto, whose potential $500 million contract could impact their roster dynamics. The Texas Rangers aim to strengthen their lineup, possibly targeting Japanese pitcher Sasaki, while the Philadelphia Phillies seek to bolster their rotation after a disappointing playoff exit. The San Francisco Giants, under new leadership with Buster Posey, and other MLB teams like the Angels and Blue Jays, are preparing for the upcoming free agency and trade periods to enhance their competitiveness for the 2025 season.
