Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia are set for Hall of Fame induction as MLB 2025 season approaches.

Baseball fans are eagerly anticipating the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame voting results, scheduled for January 21. Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia are poised for induction, each boasting over 90% support in public ballots during their first year of eligibility. Billy Wagner and Carlos Beltrán are also trending above the 75% threshold, although their final tallies may fluctuate due to the differences between public and private ballots. Andruw Jones is on the cusp of the 75% mark, leaving his fate uncertain. Meanwhile, notable players like Dustin Pedroia, Mark Buehrle, Omar Vizquel, and David Wright have garnered enough votes to remain on the ballot for another year. However, first-time eligible players such as Russel Martin, Brian McCann, and Ian Kinsler are likely to drop off the ballot. Manny Ramirez, despite impressive career statistics, is expected to fall short in his penultimate year of eligibility due to past PED suspensions.

As the 2025 Major League Baseball season approaches, it is set to kick off with a two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18-19, followed by the regular season starting on March 27. Each team will play 162 games, culminating in the 95th All-Star Game on July 15 at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia. Significant changes include the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to West Sacramento, California, ahead of their permanent move to Las Vegas, and the Tampa Bay Rays playing at George M. Steinbrenner Field due to damage at Tropicana Field. The season will also feature a modified scheduling formula to enhance matchups between prime Interleague rivals and a special `Rivalry Weekend` from May 16-18.

In the offseason, teams are actively reshaping their rosters. The Toronto Blue Jays are focusing on rebuilding after trading away players nearing free agency, while the Baltimore Orioles aim to re-sign ace pitcher Corbin Burnes. The New York Yankees face a crucial decision regarding Gerrit Cole`s contract extension, and the Cleveland Guardians may lose Shane Bieber to free agency following his Tommy John surgery. Other teams, including the Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, and Los Angeles Dodgers, are making strategic moves to strengthen their lineups and rotations.
