Random Predictions:

2. The Cubs will not trade Javier Baez or Jorge Soler for pitching at the deadline
3. Stephen Strasburg finally has an ace-type year, and signs a megadeal with the Yankees in the offseason
4. Travis Shaw has a breakout year after replacing Pablo Sandoval
5. Justin Verlander pitches more like his 2010-12 self
6. The Cubs finish the regular season with the best record

Re: 2016 MLB Predictions Thread

My bold prediction. Travis Shaw doesn't make it out of April. And is the next Will Middlebrooks.

Also the Sox falter out of the gate, starting 1-5 and John Farrell ties the 02 Tigers manager as quickest manager to get fired in a season after 6 games.

I was half right. Shaw turned out to be crap in the end but he lasted longer than I thought.
