"The Mariners will go another year without making it to the World Series. After leading for most of the game, Seattle righty Eduard Bazardo surrendered a three-run homer to veteran slugger George Springer in the seventh inning that put Toronto ahead 4-3, and they managed to hold onto that lead through scoreless innings by Chris Bassitt and Jeff Hoffman. Now, the Blue Jays are headed to their first World Series since 1993,"
"The managerial search in Anaheim once looked to be a fairly simple one, with future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols as the runaway favorite. A few days ago, the Angels broadened the search with plans to interview special assistants Torii Hunter and Kurt Suzuki as well as interest in a number of other possible candidates. Yesterday saw things change much more drastically, as both Pujols and Hunter are now reportedly out of the running."
"That leaves the search in flux somewhat, as Suzuki is the only candidate known to be interviewing for the job at this point. Former Astros manager Bo Porter, who coached for the Angels the past two seasons, has expressed interest in the job. Past reporting has suggested interest in both former Twins manager Rocco Baldelli and former Orioles manager Brandon Hyde on the Angels' part,"
The Blue Jays defeated the Mariners after Eduard Bazardo surrendered a three-run homer to George Springer, and Chris Bassitt and Jeff Hoffman preserved the lead. Toronto advances to its first World Series since 1993 and expects to benefit from Bo Bichette, who said he'll "be ready" to play. The Angels' managerial search shifted from Albert Pujols as the favorite to a broader search that included Torii Hunter and Kurt Suzuki. Both Pujols and Hunter are reportedly out, leaving Suzuki as the only known interviewee while Bo Porter has expressed interest and prior reports named Rocco Baldelli and Brandon Hyde.
