There were some great pitching performances last night:
Burnes
Skubal
King

We need to get a bonafide number one starter next season.
Glad to see the Yanks let a good one get away in King.

Tigers went bullpen game and still shutting out Houston through six.

I was going to say that if they kept Flaherty they might do some damage but it's not slowing them down at all yet.

Chourio was huge for the Brewers tonight when they needed it.

Youngest player in MLB. He got off to a slow start this year, but since the end of June, he's been 3rd in WAR in the National League. Behind Ohtani and Lindor.

Yes.

People keep linking the Sox to him as a locker room leader who can help lead the young cavalry coming up. Don’t hate that idea if they plan on moving Devers to 1B or DH
I absolutely hate Bregman but if he signs here I'm sure I'd love him

Hell baby

He’s not the elite hitter he once was and his k-bb falling off a cliff is concerning- but he’s still a very good hitter and an elite glove. If they’re serious about improving the defense that’s definitely a way to do it. Won’t have to worry about Raffy injuring his shoulder diving for a ball either

The Orioles and Astros losing takes a lot of juice out of the playoffs for me. Was hoping the Yankees would have to go through both and now it's neither.

I also hate the best of 3. Give me the one game playoffs or a best of 5 where both markets get a home game. Figure out the timing because this format blows.

Is Yoshida your everyday LF next year? #ThankYouChaim

It's so f***ing bad.

For what it's worth, the Red Sox currently have a projected 2025 payroll of roughly $176 million. This number does not include new deals for any of their free agents (O'Neill, Jansen, Martin, etc.), but does include projected arbitration awards for Duran, Houck, and Crawford.

That puts them about $65 million under the first CBT threshold.
