Padres star RHP Michael King declined his player option today and will be a free agent. Will be one of the most coveted players on market.

Rays finished with 8 XBH in the World Series.
9th team since 1970 to have eight or fewer (2008 Rays also on this list).
.242 SLG% is T10th worst in World Series history.
Incredible job by Milwaukee’s staff.

It’s pretty telling to see so many former Rays, along with some current MLB players, come back to support TB during the WS. Says a lot about the culture of the org/relationships built.

If the Brewers win tonight and end the World Series:
- MLB teams are allowed to make trades again beginning tomorrow
- Team/Player option decisions must be made by Sunday
- Teams have until Sunday to decide on qualifying offers
- Teams are allowed to negotiate with and sign their own players only from Wednesday to Sunday
- Free Agents will be eligible to negotiate/sign with any team beginning Sunday evening
Could be some action starting early this year with the lockout coming in just over a month

No team has ever come back from down 3-0 in the World Series.
That's bleak.
To win Game 4, the Rays will have to beat a Brewers' bullpen where Aaron Ashby, DL Hall and Abner Uribe all have two days of rest and Trevor Megill has three days of rest.
That may be bleaker.

Malachi Toney now has 5 games with 12+ catches.
Only five other games in Miami's history featured a player with 12-plus catches in a single game.
Toney had 12 catches for 159 yards and 2 TDs in the first half against Pitt today.

I thought people didn’t care about the small market Brewers and Rays? I was told the ratings would be bad!

While the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays are lauded for their analytic departments, lost is the fact they have two of the top 10 largest scouting staffs.
In fact, the Rays have the largest pro scouting staff in MLB
