LO QUE NECESITAN / WHAT THEY NEED

Before the start of each season in Major League Baseball, each organization, as well as the players, seek their respective interests, the teams as such seek to renew their players, as well as go out to give answers to the weaknesses of their teams in the free agency market, they bring to their teams those players they believe they need and that is linked to the interest of other players to change airs, in search of new contracts, salary agreements that are higher, opportunity to play every day, and all that comes together for each season we see the same faces but now but now in search of new contracts, salary agreements that are higher, opportunity to play every day, and all that comes together for each season that begins, The interest of other players to change airs, in search of new contracts, salary agreements that are higher, opportunity to play every day, and all that comes together for each season that begins we see the same faces but now in different places, thus starting a new season full of changes that will surely bring results totally different from those of 2022 in each of the leagues.

The 2022 season of the Cleveland Rangers team was truly surprising, to me in particular they surprised me again, but if we analyze for sure the reason for the success of this team led by the experienced and former player Terry Francona, we can see that it is well constituted, you may wonder how? Although they don't have those bombastic names that other teams have, they have the necessary pieces to pull off a 162-game season, but they are young, who have nothing else in mind but to play baseball with fundamentals, linked to a couple of experienced players that give that touch that this Ohio team needs to finish again in the first places of the American League.

Taking the idea of giving that touch of experience to Terry Francona's squad has brought to the team for this 2023 to the experienced player Josh Bell, past with the Pirates, the Nationals and then the San Diego Padres, Bell comes to Cleveland to bring all his experience as a player of the box, His ability to hit on both sides of the plate and with power will undoubtedly give stability to the lineup of the Guardians, which in the post-season lacked scoring runs and now with the arrival of the American player, will give some answers to the shortcomings of the team for this 2023.

Venezuelan catcher William Contreras now arrives to the Milwaukee Brewers, looking to be the starter at the position, in an extremely successful first part of his professional career with the Atlanta Braves, winning a World Series championship, He arrives to the National League Central Division with his sights set on helping the team win the divisional title that he let slip away last season against the St. Louis Cardinals. His good defensive attributes fit like a glove to this franchise, which had several problems with pitchers in the 2022 season, in the final stages of games, where a large number of defeats happened due to that weakness in the game.

Sus números la temporada pasada en una posición y de ser el segundo al mando, fueron bastantes buenos, 20 cuadrangulares y 45 carreras traídas al plato para un promedio de 278, significaron una actuación de lujo para un receptor sustituto, y lo que le ha valido a que el equipo de los Cerveceros lo haya traído a sus filas para darle la oportunidad de ser ahora el titular y que muestre todo su potencial tanto ofensivo como defensivo, a su corta edad y a plenitud de condiciones para así darle un nuevo viraje a su carrera como jugador y dar inicio, a lo que puede ser una temporada de consagración que lo lleven a que no solo sea esta de 2023 la única si no que sean muchas otras más, porque el talento le sobra.

His numbers last season at one position and being the second in command, were quite good, 20 homers and 45 runs brought to the plate for an average of 278, meant a performance of luxury for a substitute catcher, and what has earned him that the Brewers team has brought him to their ranks to give him the opportunity to be now the starter and to show his full potential both offensively and defensively, at his young age and full conditions to give a new turn to his career as a player and give start to what can be a season of consecration that will lead him to be not only the only one in 2023 but many others, because he has plenty of talent.

Moving away from the position players, we move now to the mound, this position of vital importance in this game and that the New York Mets team for this season of 2023, has reinforced in an incredible way, bringing pitchers that if in this new attempt to reach the championship again fail, the truth is that I do not know what else they could do, The New York Metropolitans have brought the experienced Colombian starting pitcher Jose Quintana, his experience can be a big factor, since his long career in both leagues and several teams, would be an important contribution to the team, giving security when opening games, something they will need a lot in this 2023, if they want to fight the division with the Braves and the Phillies.

With the exception of Japanese pitcher Kodai Senga, all the Mets' starting pitching staff exceeds 33 years of age, this can mean two things, experience and injuries but I think the bet is on the ability they have to carry a season as complicated as it represents one in MLB, thanks to all the travel they may have to their credit and adding that to the attributes of the Colombian pitcher, I think that the attributes of the Colombian pitcher are those that every relationship needs, the condition of a left-handed arm that gives him that touch of freshness or change against their opponents and that this pitcher has, that with the St. Louis Cardinals team showed, and if he can bring it to this rotation, speed and good location in his deliveries, it will be a great help to the horses above this pitching staff.
