SAVAGE
Just recently promoted from A-ball, Tre Yesavage has been nothing but savage.
He has helped Toronto Blue Jays teammates such as Bo Bichette, Addison Barger, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reach their full potential and had only been in the MLB regular season for a short amount of time.
His 100 mph fastball screams excellence and breaks the plate with a nasty slider, Yesavage is savage. Younger players do not scream this kind of excellence until they step into the World Series in front a ton of Dodgers fans.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are trying to become the first team back=to-back since the 09′ Phillies to try and win the World Series. Mookie Betts has gone 1-of-15 at the plate and who is not to argue that Freddie Freeman has produced a good series, yet again.
Although, much is to be said about Yesavage as he was drafted in the first round part of a relief team in East Carolina University. East Carolina holds a good program and Yesavage and the rest of the Blue Jays should feel ecstatic for what their wholehearted dreams hang with a 3-2 World Series lead.

Angels Hire Ron Washington
The Anaheim Angels have hired Ron Washington as their next manager. This comes after interviewing former players Torii Hunter and Darin Erstad.
The decision ultimately came down to owner Arte Moreno.
Washington, 71, has served two recent stints with the Oakland Athletics and Atlanta Braves. He took fielding practice everyday with the Braves and eventually went to a World Series in 2021.
The Braves organization is said to be missing Washington now but understand baseball is a business.
Washington deserves most recognition for his run with the Texas Rangers who in fact just won a World Series. The Athletic’s rival in 2011 made a World Series appearance but came up short at the hands of Washington. It was nonetheless a vast part of Washington’s resume to land the current job in Anaheim with no contract details revealed yet.

Texas Rangers Win the 2023 World Series
The Texas Rangers or Runaways, won the 2023 World Series over the NL pennant-winning Arizona Diamondbacks by a final score of 5-0 off the prowess of Josh Sborz and Corey Seager late into game 5.
Seager helped jumpstart a clutch 7th inning for the Rangers and catapult the mere and only run for the runaways that felt a need of relief for a wise manager such as Bruce Bochy who chose Sborz with a regular season ERA of 5.50.
It was telling as Aroldis Chapman who from contenders such as Kansas City to New York, Chicago, and now Texas is a World champion as credit goes to the front office and Marcus Semien for ultimately icing the cake with a 9th inning home run.
Nathaniel Lowe’s family could not feel more proud and the whereabouts of Adolis Garcia remain to be seen, but it is certain the whole team and Texas as a state are feeling jubilant. Nathan Eovaldi pitched a wonderful game despite battling with Zac Gallen’s seven no-hit innings.
To face a future NL Cy Young winner and come away victorious, is nothing but a runaway Ranger in his hee hi-oh suit of a timely party costume. Congrats Texas!

Braves Kyle Wright to Miss 2024 Season
The Braves have announced that Kyle Wright will not pitch throughout the National League Division Series or 2024 season. This is unfortunate news, as Jesse Chavez is also out for the postseason.
With a single long rehab and lengthy process, Wright will likely see redemption or his way out of Atlanta. Wright was revealed to have MRI damage on the same shoulder inflammation that caused him to miss parts of 2023, dating back to January.
Atlanta likes Chavez longevity and versatility, but without him and Wright, the Braves will hand the ball to AJ Smith-Shawver and Daysbel Hernandez. Michael Tomlin will also fill Wright’s relief role, but the major storyline is Smith-Shawver possibly receiving the ball behind All-Star Bryce Elder.
Smith-Shawver has pitched six games this season with a 4.26 ERA. He has started five of six performances and appears to possess a sharp 95+ MPH fastball. It will be interesting to see what comes out of Smith-Shawver, nonetheless.
