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

The 2025 MLB season is gearing up for an exciting start with a two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18-19. Following this international opener, the regular season will commence on March 27 and conclude on September 28. The anticipation builds for the 95th All-Star Game, scheduled for July 15 at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, home of the Atlanta Braves. Notably, the Oakland Athletics will temporarily relocate to West Sacramento, California, before their permanent move to Las Vegas.

As the Hall of Fame elections approach, MLB Network`s Brian Kenny has made bold predictions regarding the 2025 Baseball Writers` Association of America (BBWAA) Hall of Fame class. Ichiro Suzuki, the all-time hits leader, is expected to be inducted as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, potentially joining the ranks of unanimous selections. CC Sabathia, boasting a commendable 3.76 ERA over 19 seasons, is also projected for first-ballot induction, reflecting evolving standards among Hall of Fame voters. Other candidates like Billy Wagner, Carlos Beltrán, and Andruw Jones are also anticipated to receive the nod, while Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins may face a tougher path to induction.

In the realm of free agency, several top players remain unsigned. Alex Bregman is viewed as an ideal fit for the Detroit Tigers, while Pete Alonso could make a return to the New York Mets to solidify their first base position. Anthony Santander is seen as a valuable addition for the Toronto Blue Jays, addressing their left-handed batting needs. The Atlanta Braves are eyeing Jack Flaherty to enhance their rotation, and Ha-Seong Kim could provide support for the San Francisco Giants at second base. Additionally, Kirby Yates is predicted to join the Cincinnati Reds to bolster their bullpen.
