The debates have raged on, and now it’s almost time to find out who will be part of the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2016 class.

In honor of today’s announcement of the 2016 Hall of Fame class, here are 10 players expected to be at the top of this year’s ballots, represented by one iconic moment that we can all relive.

Sixteen writers on the staff of MLB.com have met the requirements to cast ballots in the annual Hall of Fame vote conducted by the BBWAA. Here’s how they voted.

Here’s a look at the latest Hot Stove stories floating around the Major Leagues.

Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman have escalated their fight against Al Jazeera. They filed defamation lawsuits Tuesday in Federal District Court in Washington against the network and two reporters after a report linked the Phillies first baseman and Nationals first baseman, respectively, to performance-enhancing drugs.

Despite spending his entire 12-year career away from Chicago, Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson still calls the Windy City home. It’s where he grew up, went to college and lives in the offseason. And it’s where Granderson continues to leave an imprint on the city and community that helped shape him.

Rockies prospect David Dahl had a couple of painful lessons from spleen and knee injuries in 2015, but the third lesson he had didn’t involve lost or damaged body parts. Early-season struggles, from pressing, taught him that his ability is such that he needn’t do anything more than trust his skills.

They’ll walk across an entire state to get it done.

Almost two weeks after agreeing to terms on a three-year deal worth $37.5 million with the Nationals, infielder Daniel Murphy will take his physical Wednesday and will likely hold a news conference Thursday, according to a baseball source. The Nationals did not confirm the report.

To get from the low point of his career to the high point, Scott Kazmir had to cover only 30 miles, or roughly the distance between Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium. He was released by the Angels in mid-June 2011 and now is back in Southern California on a three-year contract with the Dodgers.

Should fans be expecting a big year from Matt Holliday? Beat reporter Jenifer Langosch opens up the Inbox.

Two clear items remain unchecked on the Mets’ offseason wish list, giving the team a straightforward agenda with barely six weeks until the reporting date for pitchers and catchers. Specifically, the Mets will spend January seeking a right-handed hitter to complement the four outfielders they already have in place, plus a veteran reliever to work near the back of their bullpen.

While teams such as the Cubs and Red Sox struck early with Hot Stove additions, and although many high-profile players already are off the market, there is plenty of talent and time remaining to play a little matchmaking.

This should be an excellent sibling rivalry.

The end of the holiday season was a quiet one for Major League executives. But the Dodgers’ two-part rotation overhaul has created a logjam that will greatly impact 2016 drafts.

Alex Anthopoulos appears to have found a new landing spot after a report surfaced Tuesday afternoon that the former Blue Jays general manager has accepted a front-office position with the Dodgers.

Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette had hoped to have more activity before the holidays. “I thought there would be a few more deals done by now,” said Duquette, who is still looking for a left-handed hitter and rotation upgrades.”
