A few important January dates to remember.
Now fully into the new year, there are a few important dates to remember when it comes to every baseball offseason in January. For one, there is the international signing period when every baseball franchise welcomes a new class of young international talents to boost their far system (which will include where Roki Sasaki lands this year.)
Another important date is the announcement of the annual Baseball Hall of Fame Class. This year, the announcement will occur on January 21st. This year’s class could be bigger than most in terms of played being inducted, as Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner all see very likely to get in. Meanwhile, Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones are both right above or below the required 75% voting line to get in. Make sure to keep track of the voting progress here.
