A losing month (11-16) leaves on the outside of the playoff race looking in, seven games behind the Mets for the final playoff spot. In retrospect, I probably should have sold instead of bought! Oh well, it was worth it to try to get the Expos to the postseason in their first year back. Roberto Osuna had seven saves in his first month with the club, and A.J. Puckett and Austin Gomber continued to pitch well. Josh Bell hit .404 with four home runs and had a walk-off single in the 14th inning against the Phillies; I offered him an extension for one year, $2.5M.
Around the league:
-The Yankees have locked up a postseason spot, but there are close races in the other three divisions, which are led by the Royals, the Braves and the Cubs.
-Giancarlo Stanton (NYY) hit his 500th career home run. At 32, he still has elite power (37 home runs this year), but his other skills are starting to slip.
-Jake Ring (BAL) hit for the cycle.
