The White Sox are the class of the AL Central and they made moves this offseason to improve. While the division is likely to be a little tougher than last year, the South Siders are the most complete team of the bunch.
For the third time in the past five years, the final game of the MLB season included the Houston Astros.
While the Phillies fielded the potential MVP in Bryce Harper, the potential Cy Young winner in Zack Wheeler, and a top-3 catcher in J.T. Realmuto, they didn’t have much else. The supporting cast has been an issue for Philadelphia over the past few years.
Far too often, surrendering a first-inning grand slam is a death sentence. However, that wasn’t the case for the Houston Astros, who allowed the Atlanta Braves to put up a four-spot in the first inning of Game 5 before mounting a comeback.
The deadline gave us five different approaches from the teams in the AL West. Now that the dust has settled and we are about to turn the calendar to the dog days of August, the division looks like a two-team race.
While the reporters were observing pregame warmups, there was an odd site in Seattle prior to the game between the Houston Astros and the Seattle Mariners. Astros’ infielder Abraham Toro was having a catch in a Mariners uniform with Mariners catcher Luis Torrens. That prompted the reporters to start digging.
The Cincinnati Reds have fallen a little flat out of the All-Star Break, losing six of nine games. But they are coming off a series win over the St. Louis Cardinals and are still in both the National League Central and Wild Card races. That puts them in an interesting position at the trade deadline.
We all know Jerry Dipoto loves to make moves. While this year may not be theirs, they have the talent to be playoff contenders. So, what do they do?
