The Baseball Writers’ Association of America will have 25 former MLB players to consider for induction in the 2021 Hall of Fame class. We’re still two-plus months away from learning the results of the balloting, but the HOF announced the eligibles on Monday.
There are 10 individuals debuting on the ballot, including ex-Marlins A.J. Burnett, Mark Buehrle and Dan Haren. They join Gary Sheffield, who’s in his seventh year of eligibility.

The Marlins acquired Burnett in 1998’s Al Leiter trade when he was still a prospect.
