With the 2025 MLB season just around the corner, the injury bug is already making headlines. Andrew Benintendi's hand fracture and Blaze Alexander's oblique strain are just the latest reminders of how quickly things can change in baseball. As teams finalize their rosters, these injuries could have significant implications for the upcoming season.
Let's dive into the conversation: How do you think the Yankees will cope without Benintendi for the next month and a half? Will this open the door for younger players to step up, or do you think they'll look to the trade market for a quick fix?
On the other hand, the Diamondbacks are facing a dilemma with Alexander's injury. With their infield depth being tested, do you think they should promote a top prospect like Jordan Lawlar, or is it better to let him develop in the minors?
And speaking of prospects, how do you feel about the trend of teams prioritizing player development over immediate results? Are we witnessing a shift in how franchises approach their rosters, especially with injuries becoming more common?
Lastly, let's make some bold predictions! Which team do you think will be most affected by injuries this season, and who might surprise us by stepping up in their absence?
