Acuña Returns to Action
Ronald Acuña Jr. made history in 2023 by becoming the first player in MLB history to hit 40 or more home runs (41) and steal 70 or more bases (73) in a single season, earning the NL MVP Award. This remarkable feat came after he had already recovered from a torn right ACL suffered in 2021.
However, Acuña’s 2024 season was cut short when he tore his left ACL last May, marking another premature end to the season for one of baseball’s top power-speed threats. Despite the setback, Acuña’s remarkable base-stealing ability after his first knee surgery was nothing short of impressive. While it’s uncertain if he can replicate those impressive stolen base numbers following his second knee surgery, the 26-year-old Braves outfielder remains one of the most exciting players in the game. Though there’s no official timeline for his return, Acuña is hopeful he’ll be ready by Opening Day next season.
Having Acuña back in the lineup will be a major boost for a Braves team that saw its championship hopes derailed by key injuries in 2024. His return will also be a big win for baseball, as the game is always better when Acuña is on the field.
New faces in new places
As we head into 2025, several top free agents have already secured new destinations, along with notable players who were traded during the offseason.
The most high-profile move involves Juan Soto, who signed a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract to leave the Yankees and join the Mets. Known for his elite hitting and exceptional plate discipline, Soto played a key role in the Yankees’ American League championship run after being traded from the Padres last offseason. Still just 26, Soto’s move to New York could mark the next chapter in an already remarkable career, with the potential for even greater success on the horizon.
Other star position players making moves this offseason include Willy Adames, who is joining the Giants, and Christian Walker, now with the Astros. Meanwhile, slugging first baseman Pete Alonso is still testing the free-agent market for the first time after six prolific seasons with the Mets, during which he hit 226 home runs. Third baseman Alex Bregman, a two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion with the Astros, is also on the market for the first time in his career.

On the pitching front, two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell bolstered the Dodgers’ already dominant rotation by signing a five-year, $182 million deal. This move adds even more firepower alongside Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Tyler Glasnow. Meanwhile, former NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes made a surprise move, joining the Arizona Diamondbacks on a six-year, $210 million contract, strengthening their pitching staff and giving the Dodgers’ NL West rivals a significant boost. Additionally, left-hander Max Fried, a two-time All-Star with a 3.07 ERA over eight seasons with the Braves, will now wear Yankees pinstripes after agreeing to an eight-year, $218 million deal with New York, setting a new record for a left-handed pitcher.
With these major signings, more of baseball’s top stars could still change teams in 2025, potentially shaking up the balance of power across the Majors.
Some big arms are due back in ’25
Last spring, several prominent starting pitchers were sidelined for the season due to injuries, with notable stars undergoing Tommy John surgery.
