Another season is in the books, and another Dodgers choke job has been completed. The last 5 teams to beat the Dodgers in the playoffs either made it to or won the world series. Donald Trump got boo'd out of the Nationals stadium. Home field advantage wound up meaning jack and shit in the world series, where the first time in all of North American sports, a best of 7 championship round had the road team winning every game.
Golden Glove awards are in the books, and really no surprises or WTF moments from the voters. The rest of the awards will be announced over the coming 8 weeks.
Qualifying offers have been given out, and we will see if anyone takes the bait and goes for a 17.1 Million dollar prove it deal. Free agency will probably be a horrible slow slog like it was last year, despite having several big names testing the waters for the first time, including Anthony Rendon, Stephen Strasburgh, Gerrit Cole, and Madison Bumgarner. Some others decided not to opt out like J.D. Martinez, Ardolis Chapman, and Jake Arrieta.
