MLB Offseason Update: Winn's Stealing Goals, Hoerner's Recovery, and Campbell's Opportunity

In this MLB offseason update, we look at Masyn Winn's goal of 30-40 steals, Nico Hoerner's potential to miss the start of the season, and Kristian Campbell's chance to compete for Boston's 2B job.

In this MLB offseason update, we look at Masyn Winn's goal of 30-40 steals, Nico Hoerner's potential to miss the start of the season, and Kristian Campbell's chance to compete for Boston's 2B job.

Masyn Winn, a promising young player, has set a personal goal of stealing 30 to 40 bases in the upcoming season. This would be a significant increase from his previous numbers and could make him a valuable asset in fantasy baseball. However, achieving this goal will require him to improve his on-base percentage and perform better against right-handed pitching.

Nico Hoerner, a consistent performer for the Chicago Cubs over the past few seasons, may miss the start of the season due to his recovery from offseason elbow surgery. The Cubs will need to be patient with his recovery and may look to other players to fill the void at second base. Prospect Matthew Shaw could be one option, but the Cubs also added Jon Berti and Vidal Brujan over the winter.

Kristian Campbell, one of the top prospects in baseball, will compete for the starting second base job with the Boston Red Sox. Campbell had a breakout season in 2024, hitting.329/.437/.551 with 20 homers and 24 steals across three minor league levels. The Red Sox do not have any incumbent stars at second base, and Campbell could earn a starting role if he performs well in spring training.

Overall, these are some of the top stories to follow in the MLB offseason. Stay tuned for more updates as the season approaches.
