Dodgers and Cubs Kick Off 2025 MLB Season in Tokyo

The 2025 MLB season opens with Dodgers vs. Cubs in Tokyo, featuring key offseason moves and free agents.

The 2025 Major League Baseball season is poised to commence with an exciting two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on March 18-19. This marks the sixth occasion MLB has chosen Tokyo as the opening venue, showcasing the league`s commitment to global outreach.

The regular season will span from March 27 to September 28, culminating in the 95th All-Star Game on July 15 at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, home of the Atlanta Braves. As the season progresses, fans can anticipate thrilling matchups that may determine division titles in head-to-head contests.

In offseason news, the Toronto Blue Jays are actively pursuing free agents Justin Turner and J.D. Martinez to fill the gaps left by Matt Chapman and Brandon Belt. Turner, who had a productive stint with the Red Sox in 2023 after nine seasons with the Dodgers, is expected to make a decision soon, with the Giants, Mets, and Cubs also in the mix.

Cody Bellinger is likely to re-sign with the Chicago Cubs, contingent on a reduction in his asking price. His name has been linked to several teams, including the Blue Jays, Giants, and Mariners, as he navigates the free-agent market. Meanwhile, Jorge Soler is gaining traction as a sought-after hitter, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.

The New York Mets are facing significant changes in their pitching rotation, with key players like Quintana, Severino, and possibly Manaea entering free agency. Additionally, the Mets must decide on the future of Pete Alonso, who is on the verge of becoming the franchise`s all-time home run leader.

The St. Louis Cardinals are contemplating options for pitchers Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn, while Paul Goldschmidt enters free agency after a challenging 2024 season. The Los Angeles Dodgers have bolstered their lineup with Teoscar Hernández, who had an impressive 2024 season, hitting .272 with 33 homers and 99 RBIs.
