The Toronto Blue Jays were projected to be contenders as recently as a few seasons ago. No one thought that the projection would be the 2021 season. In a powerhouse division that includes the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, and the Boston Red Sox, the Jays more than held their own. Toronto went 91-71 and even held first place in the AL East at times.
At the conclusion of the 2021 season, the Cleveland Indians will be no more. The team announced in a video narrated by Tom Hanks released on Twitter today that they will be known as the Cleveland Guardians.
Before playing a regular-season game with the Mets, 27-year-old superstar shortstop, Francisco Lindor has agreed to a 10-year, $341 million extension that will make him the third-highest paid player in MLB history, just moments before Lindor’s “start of the season deadline.”
This has been brewing for quite a long time now. With the report from The Athletic today claiming that Cleveland Manager Terry Francona, President of baseball operations Chris Antonetti, General Manager Mike Chernoff, and the entire Indians ownership were aware of sexual harassment claims from former pitching coach Mickey Callaway, its time for a change.
The New York Mets have been one of the busiest teams in what has been an unprecedentedly slow offseason. Between filling their large hole at catcher, adding a nice bullpen piece, and adding one of the game’s best shortstops, the Mets are consistently checking their checklist for the 2021 season.
Steve Cohen is officially the owner of the New York Mets, and has been very expressive in his love and fandom for the storied franchise. Despite a few hiccups with the bidding, legal, and owner’s approval, the Point 72 CEO is now the majority owner of a large-market MLB team.
The Houston Astros came into Wednesday’s game down 0-3 in the ALCS against the Tampa Bay Rays. With elimination imminent, the Astros were counting on veteran star Zack Greinke to continue their postseason. The Rays’ Tyler Glasnow was sent out to duel the veteran.
The Los Angeles Dodgers came in after a heartbreaking 5-1 late-inning loss and collapse on Monday night against the Atlanta Braves. Walker Buehler was outdueled by Max Fried who pitched a dominant six innings with nine strikeouts. Freddie Freeman started the game with a monster home run in the first inning against Walker Buehler. This continued in Game 2, as the Braves held on to win 8-7, despite a late-inning spark from the Dodger bats.
With just three weeks left in the 2020 season, Let’s take a look at the American League Power Rankings on this wonderful Labor Day.
The Detroit Tigers have started to fall off after a hot start, losing five in a row and six of ten. Everyone knew they couldn’t sustain the good start as they are rebuilding.
Saturday and Sunday games this weekend between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds have been postponed due to a Reds player testing positive for COVID-19.
Backed by a grand slam from Gio Urshela and a great performance from the bullpen, the New York Yankees picked up a 5-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night.
