Andrew Bailey was drafted, debuted, won the ROY, became teammates with Rich Hill in 2012, retired, and became Hill’s new pitching coach all in the span of Hill’s career
Now in card form.pretty cool:
Blue Jays-turned-Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen didn't just play for both teams in the same game -- a first in major league baseball history.
He played for both teams in the same inning.
Jansen became the first major leaguer ever to appear on both sides of a baseball box score when he took the field for Boston on Monday in the resumption of a rain-delayed game he started for Toronto in June -- before he was traded to the Red Sox.
Before the game resumed at 2:06 p.m. ET Monday -- a delay of 65 days, 18 hours and 35 minutes -- Red Sox media relations coordinator Daveson Perez announced the changes in the Fenway Park press box: "Pinch hitting for Danny Jansen: Daulton Varsho. Defensive changes: Danny Jansen now at catcher."
With Jansen behind the plate, Nick Pivetta struck Varsho out to complete the at-bat Jansen started. Then Jansen came up for the Red Sox with two outs in the bottom half of the frame, getting a nice cheer from a sparse makeup game crowd, and hit a lazy liner to first base to end the inning.

Royals are done. Two more injuries tonight.
In the last week we have lost one SP to the IL. One more with a cramp. Vinny probably broke his hand tonight. And Erceg, our best possible reliever tried to catch a hard shot grounder with his bare hand.
A damn shame. This will be a hard pill to swallow as they’ve done so good to be in this position. Playoff hopes are done.
Damn.
Heck, I am a Twins fan and I don't even have a lot of optimism going into next year. Tight owners who won't spend $$$ to make the roster better, even on the edges. It looks like the Twins have a good young core if they can stay healthy, but the could use some $$$ for depth and I am not even talking about high dollar players.Royals are done.

On the plus side, the team is trending the right direction. Right? Got some really nice young pieces, a good rotation, solid bull pen. You have optimism, which is something many MLB teams don't have going into next year.

The 1962 Mets were 40-120-1, with one game postponed and never made up.Detroit’s 43-119 is still the worst record in a 162 game season, right? White Sox are going to have to go 12-18 just to tie that.
They are 35.5 games out…of 4th place. (h/t Jon Heyman)
Well they’ve lost 5 in a row since that post, so I think they have a good chance of breaking that too.The 1962 Mets were 40-120-1, with one game postponed and never made up.Detroit’s 43-119 is still the worst record in a 162 game season, right?

Another day, another White Sox related milestone: The team lost its 20th consecutive game in which Chris Flexen started, a new record (since 1900). The previous mark of 19 in a row was set in 1909. (@ESPNStatsInfo)
Jackson Chourio is probably 3rd in the NL for ROY but he is making a hard push after a grand slam today. He is looking to go 20-20 as a 20 yr old.Jackson Merrill continues to make that ROY case. Kid is such a stud.
Guy 1 calls everyone off, guys 2 and 3 keep running, guy 1 bails out, guys 2 and 3 crash into each other, one of them gets hurt and the ball bounces away. Sounds about like how their season has gone.
47-48

16 games left. Steals will be easy, he's running any time he's on base. Everyone knows it, just try to catch him. Homers might be more of a challenge if they start pitching around him.50-50 Watch
Currently 47-48

Yeah. They are gonna make it in my opinion. And more than likely at the expense of my Royals.Tigers looking really good lately! Young bats have come alive, even if the pitching is Skubal+some smoke and mirrors. Fun to actually be playing meaningful September games for a change.
Just to update for any who cares. The Royals just finished this stretch:Brewers certainly did the Royals a solid this weekend.
Royals are in striking distance but their schedule for the next couple of weeks is brutal:
3 w/Angels at home
3 w/Phillies at home
4 @ Guardians
4 @ Astros
3 w/Guardians at home
3 w/Twins at home
3 @ Yankees
Make or break time for them.

Sources: Twins cut draft pick for aiding opponent
The Twins released minor league catcher Derek Bender after he told opposing hitters the types of pitches that were coming to the plate during a game last week, sources told ESPN. Bender had told teammates he wanted the season to be over.www.espn.com
