Not only that, but Toronto is hanging in there. They might be the first team out.

The AL has to do something about the divisions. I don’t know what, but the Central has been a pile of dogshit for two decades now and the West has 1-2 teams worth a damn every year.

Meanwhile, the East has 3 ultra rich teams, a small market team with the best development operation in the sport, and the Orioles who both spend money and has excellent drafting and development. It’s absurd.

Get rid of divisions altogether, and just have everyone play each other an equal number of times.

The division has so much history.

AL East is brutal but hating the Yankees and Red Sox is part of my heritage.

Do whatever is needed so my home team isn’t playing nearly 2 weeks of games, against divisional rivals, that don’t start until 9pm. I’m old.
