There's a scene in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me that I can't help but relate to Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Joc Pederson. Austin sits in bed and comes to the sudden realization he's "lost his mojo."

We've heard this before when it comes to athletes, though it often refers to a slow decline. For Pederson, it was almost an overnight transformation.

We could talk about Major League Baseball's most dominant starting rotations going into 2016, but that's too easy. Instead, let's gaze waaaaaaaaaay into the future.

As in, all the way to the year 2020.

Now that spring training games are officially underway and the calendar has turned over to March, fantasy baseball draft season is upon us.

Anchoring your fantasy rotation with someone like Clayton Kershaw is great, but it's generally the next eight pitchers you draft who will determine how your season plays out.

Major League Baseball reportedly will not suspend Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig for an alleged domestic violence incident involving his sister, per ESPN's Pedro Gomez.

Behold, ladies and gentlemen: "Big Sexy."

The New York Mets tweeted a photo of starting pitcher Bartolo Colon on Tuesday, reminding us all why he's earned that nickname.

Colon, 42 years old, will look to give the Mets' star-studded staff a boost this season and help the team get back to the World Series.

The Tampa Bay Rays will take on the Cuban national team at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana on March 22, the team announced on Tuesday.

It is the first time that a major league team will play in Cuba since the 1999 Baltimore Orioles.   

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has been suspended 30 games by Major League Baseball for his alleged involvement in a widely publicized domestic violence incident, as first reported by Billy Witz of the New York Times.

Major League Baseball suspended New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman 30 games Tuesday after he was under investigation for an alleged domestic violence incident in October.

Billy Witz of the New York Times first reported the news, and Chapman released a statement about the punishment, per Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports:

Come on, Freddy Galvis. You should know better than to park anywhere near the fields at spring training complexes.

With one swing of the bat Tuesday, Maikel Franco—who hit 14 home runs in 2015—taught Galvis a tough (and somewhat expensive) lesson as to where he should and shouldn't park his car at the team's camp in Clearwater, Florida.

The Kansas City Royals' task in 2016 is as simple as it is difficult: defend their World Series title.

But there's a larger plan brewing in Western Missouri—one that involves keeping the club's largely homegrown championship core intact for the long haul. By extending catcher and reigning Fall Classic MVP Salvador Perez at the outset of spring training, the Royals took a crucial step in that direction.
