Baseball's Thanksgiving: Teams Give Thanks for Stars
26 Nov
Summary
- Dodgers lauded for dynasty-building with spending and talent.
- Yankees' Aaron Judge is a bright spot amid team's long championship drought.
- Phillies boast league's best rotation, facing uncertainty with free agents.
As Thanksgiving nears, Major League Baseball teams are expressing gratitude for their standout players and prospects heading into the offseason.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are highlighted as North America's premier sports franchise, fresh off repeat World Series championships. Their success is attributed to a deep-pocketed ownership, strong management, and a remarkable influx of Japanese talent, including Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who earned World Series MVP honors. The pipeline of Japanese stars solidifies their status as future favorites.
Meanwhile, New York Yankees fans can be thankful for the extraordinary performance of Aaron Judge. Despite the team's extended championship drought since 2009, Judge's power and batting title leadership provide hope for restoring past glory. The Philadelphia Phillies are also recognized for their league-leading rotation, which powered their second consecutive NL East title. However, the team faces questions regarding the re-signing of key free agents like Ranger Suarez.
