2 hours ago2 hr https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48712239/mlb-2026-american-league-al-standings-history-weird-yankees-raysA tongue-in-cheek projection sent to me by a colleague a couple of days ago gets to the heart of how the American League standings look so far:Yankees: 94-68Rest of AL: 81-81Angels: 68-94No, the final standings won't look like that, and the joke is probably unfair to the Tampa Bay Rays, though their plus-17 run differential portends a finish closer to the AL's rabble than to the New York Yankees (at plus-75) -- but it's hard to look at the AL records from top to bottom and not wonder what the heck is going on.Nearing the quarter mark of the season, two of the AL's three division leaders are just two games over .500 (the 20-18 Athletics and 21-19 Cleveland Guardians) while the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners are tied for the final wild-card berth at 18-21. In fact, the AL-worst Los Angeles Angels are only three games out of a playoff spot, too. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by caulfield12
2 hours ago2 hr “That’s how we are going to separate ourselves. We are going to continue to add talent and find ways to get these guys better,” Getz said. “We’ve been very intentional on who we are bringing into this clubhouse.“We are looking for winning-type players that are focused on what I have to do to help this team win. That’s starting to really seep into this organization as a whole and help clarify who we are targeting at any level of acquisition.”No evidence at all of that with the recent string of bullpen moves.Feels like just throwing darts at the wall.Pitching can't possibly be better now without Crochet, Houser, Perez, Civale, etc.Davis Martin has really been great so far, but the back end is a total mess and Shane Smith has just disappeared.If Getz means guys like Romo Peters Hill and Kelenic (and not Braden)...well more power to him I guess.Or it's Jacob Gonzalez next because he played on such a dominant CWS team?
