The World Series concluded just over a week ago and the Los Angeles Dodgers brought their 32-year championship drought to an end with their Game 6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Now comes a major reshuffling of the deck.
The 2020 season for the Toronto Blue Jays started with uncertainties on where the team would play their home games and ended with a playoff series loss against the eventual American League champions. The debate in Toronto after the team’s short appearance in the expanded postseason: If this season were played under normal circumstances, would the Blue Jays have been a playoff team?
Like “The Machine” that he is, DJ LeMahieu continued to be a consistent clutch hitter in 2020. He well overperformed for the two years with the New York Yankees and was their most consistent hitter.
Within hours of Steve Cohen officially taking over as the owner of the Mets, he cleaned house. But that doesn’t mean he has to fill it back up right now.
The Cleveland Indians finished the 2020 season with a 35-25 record, which was good for second in the AL Central. They secured the 4th seed in the American League playoffs but were promptly swept in the Covid-19 wild-card format by the New York Yankees.
The Los Angeles Angels finished the 2020 regular season with their fifth consecutive losing season and sixth straight year without reaching the postseason. Owner Arte Moreno wasted no time making changes by announcing the team had relieved general manager, Billy Eppler, of his duties following the final regular game of the season.
At the beginning of the 2020 season, the Houston Astros expected to win their fourth-straight American League West crown. However, a myriad of injuries saw them limp into the postseason (barely) with a 29-31 regular-season record. When the playoffs began, the baseball world was ready to throw dirt on them and bury their scandalous year for good.
The Kansas City Royals finished 26-34, good enough for fourth place in the American League Central. They are in the midst of a rebuild and will be returning most of their team in 2021.
Like a fine wine, perhaps red, Justin Turner keeps getting better. 2020, although abbreviated and unusual, was extra sweet for Turner and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In 2020, the Texas Rangers had the 15th-highest payroll in baseball, while sitting just over $3 million above the league average. The result amounted to having the lowest win percentage amongst teams in the upper half of that category and the second-worst record in the league.
George Springer is one of the MLB’s most premier dual-threat outfielders. At age 31, his defense is still very good and he will be highly sought after in free agency.
