We have plenty of positive things to look back on for 2025, and perhaps some less pleasant (let\u2019s not talk about the postseason). While it\u2019s fun to reflect on the year that was (and we\u2019ll get into that below), it\u2019s also a great time to look ahead to the new year. We\u2019re getting close to baseball\u2019s return, having officially passed the halfway mark between the end of the World Series and the beginning of Spring Training, so that\u2019s something to get excited about.
