Judge was starting to lock in too. But too little too late. Shame.

Series should be 3-2

Losing both Cole starts because of dumb shit is what did us in

It is what it is though. Dodgers were the better team on paper but this series should have gone 6 at least

Rather our season end in the WS instead of getting embarrassed by the Royals

Resign Soto and try to complete the job next season.

the AL is gonna be brutal next year.

Yanks will be right there if they re-sign Soto. Jazz for the whole year. Gil in his 2nd year. Need a first basemen. Other than a 1st basemen and Soto, no true "needs" but with their bank roll another reliever and maybe a starter would help. Schmidt as the #3 isnt great.

Orioles NEED to re-sign Burnes. If they dont sign Burnes they can still be a good regular season team but no chance in the playoffs. Bautista will be back which is huge.

Not sure there are any other teams in the East to worry about- Rays will be solid but I dont see the high end talent. Boston needs doesnt have enough talent. Jays have some talent but just seem a mess.


Central will be good again.

Guards will bring back a very solid team- but need to figure out the rotation and still need another bat. Cant expect the pen to pitch like 6 innings a playoff game and not get worn down to nothing.

Royals need bats and bullpen but will be dangerous with Lugo and Ragans.

Twins- i dont know- Yanks own them- that is for sure- health is their thing- if Buxton, Lewis and Correa are healthy they have a nice core- but all 3 are always hurt and the pen is mediocre and the rotation is nothing special- not great defense

Tigers might be interesting but they need like 3 bats and 2 starters

Astros have some major question marks with Bregman a FA- and i think Tucker wll be in his walk year- but Tucker, Alvarez, Altuve and getting some pitching healthy wll help

Mariners have a rotation- need JROD to do a lot more than he did this year

who knows with Texas- but DeGrom seems like he wll be healthy and Lankford and Carter should be better.


If we assume Yanks keep Soto- they are still the favorites in the AL---- id say the Guards and Orioles (if they keep Burnes) are next---- then another tier with a number of teams. Red Sox have money to spend and some talent and could get back into it if the owner really wanted to. Will be interesting to see.
