He doesn't have to worry...instant HOf. He lead the Cubs to a title. Instantly in.

I wish the Royals would fire someone. Everyone actually.

Fired their hitting coach a few weeks back!

Sucks Dayton is so frugal he’s sticking with Santana to try and dangle him in a month rather than calling up Vinnie and seeing what they have there

The Santana thing is so dumb. He's 36 and can't hit. Even if he gets hot for a couple weeks, who the hell are they gonna get for him? Nobody.

It certainly feels that way. How you have Ohtani and Trout, two generational players, and still manage to be under 500 is beyond me.
Trout is on a dubious Rod Carew-esque streak right now, amassing the most WAR by far of any player since he came into the league (including 3 AL MVP awards) without winning a single playoff series

in fact, Trout has only played in one single playoff series in his entire career

One player probably has the least impact in baseball than any other sport. It's not like basketball or football where you can continually go to your best player.

Yep, and it’s both sides. Right up there with Trout in terms of WAR over the last 9 years is another player whose got generational talent but rarely gets to showcase it in October - Jake deGrom.
