The MLB Hall of Fame Ballot for 2024 has finally been announced. Several new names are being added with their first opportunity to be voted into Cooperstown. Players who failed to make the vote last year are also added, with exception to those who have now exceeded the 10 year limit.
The MLB Hall of Fame Ballot is full of big names, and it could be a telling year. There are some controversial figures on the list, and it remains to be seen how voters will perceive some of them.
Trending
That includes Carlos Beltran, who was a figure involved in the Houston Astros cheating scandal. This is the first time someone who was involved is on the ballot, and voters have not indicated anything before.
That also includes Alex Rodriguez, who's been on the ballot before. The former New York Yankees star embattled with steroid controversies earned about 36% last time out.

Several players will know where they stand after this year's vote. Rodriguez has trended upwards slowly, but it remains to be seen how the voters will ultimately decide. He likely needs a big increase to stand a chance at eventually making it into the Hall.
Former Atlanta Braves outfielder Andruw Jones is also on the ballot once more, and he's been trending positively. This year will be a big one for him and Omar Vizquel, who is nearing the end of his eligibility.
