The Cubs and Dodgers opened the 2025 MLB regular season with the two-game Tokyo Series in Japan last week. Los Angeles swept those two games to begin their World Series title defense. Thursday is the traditional Opening Day when the rest of the league begins their regular seasons. It is Game 1 of 162. The long marathon is here.

On Chicago’s South Side, the rebuilding White Sox will host the hopeful Angels in a meeting between teams that finished with two of the four worst records in baseball last season. The Halos brought in several veterans in an effort to reach the postseason for the first time since 2014. They have baseball’s longest postseason drought. The ChiSox, meanwhile, chugged alone with their rebuild.

Storylines

Angels: As noted in the intro, the Angels have baseball’s longest postseason drought, and they brought in several good but not truly great veterans over the winter in effort to return to October baseball. Among them is Kikuchi, their Opening Day starter. Slugger Jorge Soler, closer Kenley Jansen, and starter Kyle Hendricks are also in that group. The Angels are likely to be without third baseman Anthony Rendon all year following hip surgery. He has played only 257 games in five seasons with the Halos. Franchise star Mike Trout is moving to right field in an effort to stay on the field. Trout has played only 266 games combined across the last four years. The Angels lost a franchise-record 99 games in 2024 and should be better in 2025, though a lot of things will have to break their way to make a serious run at a postseason berth.

White Sox: They can’t possibly be worse, right? The White Sox lost a modern record 121 games last season and then traded Garrett Crochet, their ace and best player, to the Red Sox over the winter. They are in the early stages of a very deep rebuild. The White Sox are two years away from being two years away. While they don’t want to lose 121 games again, their priorities this season are building a young talent base and helping players like Burke, Miguel Vargas, Jonathan Cannon, and Davis Martin becoming long-term building blocks. Also, the White Sox would like Luis Robert Jr. to bounce back from his poor and injury-plagued 2024 season so they can trade him for more prospects. It’s all about the young players on the South Side this season.

Fantazie českých kajakářů! Světovou medaili slaví Krejčí i Prskavec

Třiadvacetiletý Krejčí za cílem radostí zahodil pádlo, skoro jako o kousek dál na Olympijském stadionu před čtvrtstoletím Jan Železný. Tak nadšený byl ze své jízdy, po níž měl jistotu, že po bronzu z neolympijské časovky se dočká na kanále u Sydney další medaile.Po vystoupení z lodi objal svoji přítelkyni, o chvíli později se mohl radovat i s Prskavcem, který získal už svou šestou světovou medaili. Parádní tečka za sezonou, která v podání českých slalomářů nebyla dlouho ideální.Zejména dvaatřicetiletý Prskavec sice na začátku sezony získal titul evropského šampiona, ale pak se mu ve Světovém poháru nevedlo tak, jak si představoval.

Bakoš velebí fanoušky Plzně: Jsem rád, že dostali hráče do varu

Ano, kouče. Jakkoliv divně to může někomu znít. Bakoš už dávno pověsil kopačky na hřebík, více než šest let sbíral zkušenosti v roli asistenta. A evropská premiéra v roli hlavního trenéra? Jako řemen. „Maaarek Bakoš,“ znělo po závěrečném hvizdu stadionem Viktorie. Po právu. A úplně stejně jako v době, kdy „Baky“ coby chytrý útočník sázel branku za brankou.Nevzpomněl jste si u děkovačky na doby, kdy vás takhle fandové vyvolávali po vstřelení gólu?(usmívá se) Je samozřejmě příjemné, když vás lidé ocení. Moc mě to těší, za to jim děkuji. Hlavně jsem byl rád, že dostali do varu hráče. Minulost už moc neřeším.A co budoucnost? Nemáte chuť nezůstat „jen“ dočasným trenérem?To mě vůbec nenapadlo. Přemýšlím nad dalším zápasem (nedělním ligovým s Hradcem, pozn. red.). Dál nic nemám. Je to stěna. Neřešil bych to.Mohl jste si vůbec vysnít lepší premiéru?Přesně takhle jsme si to představovali.
