Even if they don't keep Kendrick and Greinke they look primed to win 90+ games and take the NL West again next year. They don't have any holes except maybe 2B, but I imagine they'll sign Zobrist and top starter.
Cubs are scary with Soler hitting. They already have Rizzo and Bryant and Schwarber, and Soler gives them four monster bats, plus secondary guys like Fowler, Montero, and Russell. Also Lester and Arrieta 5 times in a 7-game series. Scary.
He'll always be remembered for that game. Not just the 2 errors and not scooping Moreland's bad throw, but also 0-4 with a caught stealing and huge strikeout in the 8th inning. One of the worst performances ever in an elimination game.
Yeah, baseball is awesome.
I'm just glad the Martin mistake was inconsequential. It was the right call, but deciding a serie likexthatcwoukd have been awful.
I'm not sure why you think Cleveland would easily extend him. Cleveland the city sucks and they don't have a high payroll. It would most likely be 1 bargain year of Edwin for five bargain years of Carrasco. The framework doesn't work at all IMO.
