Mine posted too, and dated back to October 11, the day after it went pending.

I had the same issue and emailed my ticket rep, they are aware of the issue, recognize that it is on their end, and said they are working on it.

McCann was a starting catcher for 7 years (2015-2021) and averaged 1 rWAR per season. He is not getting a starting catcher job at 35 after three years as a backup.

He wasn't eligible. Only pitchers with 138 innings pitched in their team's first 138 games are eligible, so obviously no relievers, and only about 30 starters per league are eligible.

Those 3 players combined for 7.3 rWAR, 8.4 fWAR, so subtracting 10 wins is a little steep. They also aren't being replaced by replacement level players, their replacements without any outside additions would be Tyler Wells, a full season of Eflin (rather than the two months he was here in 2024), and Heston Kjerstad and Coby Mayo getting most of Santander's at bats. Add in the return of Bautista, and 81 wins without any additions is overly pessimistic in my opinion.

Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

I'm sure they had to hold a certain number of decent seats back for MLB and corporate sponsors for the playoffs.

They almost certainly won't need 12 pitchers in the ALDS if they make it that far, with off days after games 1, 2, and 4.

This is the third year of this playoff format. Of the 8 series in the first two years, 7 of them were two game sweeps and only one went to a third game.

Burnes named AL Pitcher of the Month for September. He is also lined up for games 2 and 5 of the ALDS against the Yankees. Both games would be at Yankee Stadium. Has a chance to make himself an Orioles legend this October in only one season with the club.

Selby over Bowman the only surprise. Royals going with 11 pitchers, while we are going with 12.

I just wish we had Gunnar signed to Witt's contract.

Royals going with only 11 pitchers. Big story is Pasquantino is back in a month, after expecting to be out 6-8 weeks with a broken thumb. O's roster yet to be announced.

Gray is actually due $65M. $25M next year, $35M in 2026, and a $5M buyout on a $30M mutual option in 2027. Plus he has a no trade clause Not really any surplus value there. He could be worth close to 2/$65M, but pretty much no way he exceeds it. Doubt I would give up more than a bag of balls if they had to take on the whole contract.
