It’s opening day for Major League Baseball and excitement is in the air. And for most, the return of sports, and their favorite teams, has seemingly brought a sense of relief.
In fact, it feels to me like there is only one player in all of MLB who is facing pressure as the season begins, new New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole.
Mookie Betts just agreed to a massive deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers but I don’t think people will judge their overall success or failure based on his production. Mike Trout announced he will play and is widely regarded as the best player in baseball, without ever winning a game in the postseason.
