The Texas Rangers won their first-ever World Series, beating the Washington Nationals in six games. The Rangers were 87-69 in the regular season, and were led by impressive 22-year-old Rookie of the Year Juan Miranda, who hit .302 with 56 home runs and 143 RBI! He was only listed as the #60 prospect heading into the season- oops.

AL MVP: Chad Workman, CWS (.304/49/124, 9.4)
NL MVP: Roman Galloway, NYM (.304/44/135, 6.9)
AL Cy Young: Ryan Rolison, OAK (8-11, 2.73, 5.1)
NL Cy Young: Noah Syndergaard, NYM (14-8, 3.47, 5.4)

Remarkable that Rolison won his second straight Cy Young given his losing record, but his league-leading ERA and WAR carried the day. Workman is an incredibly bright young star with the White Sox, a 25-year-old center fielder with 70+ ratings in every major category.

Jarred Kelenic won the Silver Slugger in right field. Owner Charles Bronfman Jr. was disappointed with our season, and our budget was cut from $250M to $244M for next year.

I declined the team option on Arturo Figueroa and did not offer Zac Susi arbitration. I didn't sign anyone to long-term extensions, but Zach Guth will make $9.5M next season, Luis Patino $5.4M, Brandon Marsh $5M, and Juan Ramirez $4.4M. For this offseason, we'll have holes to fill at catcher, third base and the rotation, but little to no money to fill them with. Zounds!
