And so begins another Baseball Off-Season.
Congrats to the Philadelphia Phillies. I was hoping the Rays would win, but that was mostly because I’m an American League kinda guy, since I grew up with the Detroit Tigers as my home team. The young players on the Tampa Bay Rays made a nice showing by getting to the World Series after their dismal season last year, but the Phillies handled them pretty nicely.
Now begins the waiting, and hoping, and scanning of the newspapers by all baseball fans:
“Has my team made any trades?”
“Did they pick up a superstar?”
“Did they trade a superstar away for some hot prospects?!”
Next week are the General Manager Meetings, where the trade talks usually get heated up… looking forward to that!
