With the offseason heating up, there's a lot to unpack in the world of baseball. Brandon Crawford's retirement marks the end of an era for the Giants, and it begs the question: what does his legacy look like in the context of modern shortstops? Will he be remembered as one of the greats, or will he fade into the background as the game evolves?

Meanwhile, the Angels have made a splash by signing Yusei Kikuchi. This move raises eyebrows—can Kikuchi finally find his footing in the majors after a rocky start? What are your expectations for him in the upcoming season?

And let's not forget the Dodgers' bold decision to sign Blake Snell to a five-year deal. Is this a smart investment, or are they risking too much on a pitcher who has had his ups and downs?

As we look ahead, the Juan Soto saga continues to unfold. With teams expected to make offers this week, where do you think he’ll land? Could we see a blockbuster trade that shakes up the league?

Lastly, with the free agent prediction contest leaderboard now available, who do you think will be the biggest surprise signing this offseason?
