Expansion Success Story: Portland Mist
This Dynasty was created on OOTP19, played on 20, and will continue on 21.
MLB decided to expand to 32 teams for the 2019 regular season and balance the leagues into 4 divisions of 4. The two new teams are the Montreal Expos (NL) and the Portland Mist (AL). The Colorado Rockies moved to AL. The four division winners will be the sole playoff teams, no Wild Cards. No Interleague Play either. Both the Expos and Mist participated in an expansion draft with meager findings. The first owner in Mist history is Eric Cabrera, an economizer only giving 39M to payroll. The minor leagues are stuffed, even featuring two AA clubs. The first manager in Mist history is Joe Maddon, fresh from leaving the Chicago Cubs (the Angels never occurred in this reality). The first stadium is Intel Stadium in Portland, Oregon. The outfield wall is 9 feet high all the way across. Its 424 to dead center and 329 down the lines. It has a retractable roof, to protect to the heavy rain patterns in Oregon. It has real grass like Arizona. It seats 50,000 fans. The uniforms are green and white (seen below). The first couple seasons will be briefly summarized here and then will be well documented starting in year three. The first season the team finished with 78 wins for 3rd out of 4 teams in the American League West Division featuring the Oakland A's, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Angels. All things considered 78-84 was a great inaugural season. In the 2019 draft we selected 1st overall and reached on a SP that looked like he could be a once in a generation hitter. Luis Macia, nickname Twig. We assigned him to learn 3B upon signing. 2nd round- RP Sergio Medina 3rd round- 1B Andrew Vaughn 4th round- RP Freddie Peppers 5th round- 3B Nicholas Quintana Our top players in season 1...
In the first off-season we acquired OF Tommy Pham from the Rays and 1B Bobby Bradley from the Indians The 2020 season (year 2) did bring a 1st place finish in the division and our first playoff birth. 85-77 record. Our top players in season 2...
We lost first round in the playoffs, but was a major accomplishment for a two year old team with a light budget and only one free agency crop. Last edited by jerheme; 03-15-2020 at 09:10 AM. |

2021Season
The Mist enjoyed a playoff run in 2020 and look to keep moving into a true contender. We have a ton of bright spots on the roster and a few places we could make improvements. Our success has gone to our owners head who is expecting much more even faster.
He was thrilled with our record. He expected .500 and we made the playoffs. He wanted to see us upgrade SS and was not completely satisfied with us acquiring Andrelton Simmons during the 2020 season. He wanted us to increase attendance to 43000/gm and was unhappy that we only reached 42000/gm. Eric Cabreras new goals: Win a championship, upgrade SS, improve steals (we were 12th in MLB), increase attendance to 43,000/gm despite our market being below average and our fan loyalty as poor, and interest at 74%. He desires us to build a Champion by 2025. With what money? He increased the payroll budget to 95M! In 2021 this is still a low 26th overall. We decreased tickets to $14 average to try to increase attendance. We consolidated our two AA teams into one in Dimsdale. We sold the Oklahoma City club to the Expos. Extensions
Retirements SS Zack Cozart, Manager Joe Maddon, Bench Coach Ned Yost Personel
Awards AL Gold Glove- Tommy Pham Transactions We are interested in adding a big bat and a couple big arms. If we can be creative with payroll on two then we can trade for a third. We traded LF Raimel Tapia, SP Trevor Rosenthal, 6M cash, and 2 minor leaguers to Expos for MLB ready #8 SP prospect (Alexander). We signed international free agent Yao-Pang Tann. Tann is a middle infielder that projects as a good hitter. He is 25 years old with a selfish reputation, but we are hoping that wears off. We signed SP Jose Quintana to a 6 year deal with two massive team options. The first three years are 15M per, then a big jump. We will need to be making money by then. We signed OF Bryce Harper to a 8 year deal with a player opt out clause after three years. 23M per the first three. Fan support up only 10% after these moves. League Transactions Cardinals traded Fowler to Reds for Long Cardinals signed Arenando Mets signed Wong Dodgers signed Kimbrel Brewers signed Rizzo Cubs signed Cole Astros traded Correa to Braves for Swanson Hall of Fame Inductees Barry Bonds, Todd Helton, Roger Clemens 2021 World Baseball Classic 8 Portland Mist players participated.

Fans were shocked by this trade and we hope it doesn't hurt attendance. SP Lahera re-called Same day trade to win over fans. We acquired 2B Robinson Cano from rival Mariners for a minor league reliever. Mariners are paying the final year of Cano's contract. He will take Sandy Leon's roster spot and give us an extra bat and pressure on Tellez at DH.

2022 Season
We wanted a World Series run with Bryce Harper in the fold, but injuries down the stretch and poor pitching and hitting led to a disappointing 2nd place finish. Yankees prevailed over Cubs. Looking at the roster we have huge holes developing in LF and CF. With Pham's decline and Almora's limitations. Is Rooker ready? We need another top pitcher as DeLeon showed he isn't a number 2 and will miss part of the season anyway. Could the Dragon (Devenski) be stretched into a starter? The bullpen could use a refresher, its the same group from the inaugural season. Can we get a catcher better than Nido? Should we just wait on Elih Marrero? Is it time to move Tellez and is Candelario a piece we are truly happy with? Segura and Bauer are looking for paydays so they are both gone. I guess this roster isn't as ready as we had hoped.
League Rule Changes Wild Card is back. It was gone since the 2019 expansion, but its back. There will now be a 5th playoff team in each league. The Wild Card team will be the team with the best record without a division title. This team will play a 5 game series with the worst division winner for a chance to play the #1 seed in a seven game series. The #1, #2, #3 teams will get a week break during the Wild Card round. Retirements
Owners Report He was unsatisfied with our 2nd lace finish. He was thrilled with Tann at SS. We matched his attendance expectations. He still sees us as having time to win. His new goals are to win a championship, upgrade 2B (doesn't like All-Star Brandon Lowe???), Improve Steals (we are 13th), and continue to build a championship by 2025. With what money? 110M, a 15M increase. However, 13 players are arbitration eligible and we expect 11M in raises if we don't move players of negotiate cheaper deals. The eligible players are very interested in long term contracts on an expansion team with turn-style managers (Maddon/Francona). I was given 3 more years as GM. We raised ticket prices to $16 Awards AL Silver Slugger - Bruce Harper AL Rookie of the Year- Twig Macia AL MVP- Bryce Harper Team Transactions We traded CF Albert Almora and Rp Carl Edwards Jr. to White Sox for gold glove candidate CF Charlie Tilson. Signed new manager Luis "Auggie" Alguacil to a 5 year deal. At age 59 he isn't a retirement risk. He has been Cleveland's bench coach for the last three seasons with win totals of 103, 102, and 96. He favors kids and speed and is a new school sabermetrics manager. We are hoping Auggie represents a bright future for the Mist. Signed free agent OF Tyrone Taylor to minor league deal Signed free agent SS Nick Ahmed to minor league deal Signed international free agent OF Kein-lung 'KL' Thum. The 25 year ld has an amazing eye and good speed, he has the potential to be a starter on the Mist by seasons end.

Word out of re-season camp is how major league ready 1B/LF Blake Billinger is anyhow he might be the best looking prospect in baseball. We will wait for spring injuries to others and have them all around in case injuries find us. DeLeon is injured. Nido and Lowe do not look as good as a year ago. We have more battles than a contender typically has but we are still hopeful.

2023 Season
We are really good, but we can get better and we can win it all. It starts here in the off-season. Surprisingly Eric Cabrera sold the team to Jorge de los Santos who is way hands-off owner but he has been thrifty in other businesses. He has given a player budget of 120M which only allows for arbitration raises and no real improvements. We will have to get creative. We need a 2B because Segura is going to ask for millions again. We may turn to another rookie. We have a couple 2B in the pipeline.
New Owner Goals de Los Santos wants us to have a winning record and build a championship team by 2027. Arbitration None of our eligible players desire to discuss long term deals. With our budget we now have 500K to spend in free agency after arbitration and trading away RP Sam Tuivailala. We are raising ticket prices $2 and hope to pack out Intel Stadium.

Thum in left is an average defender, but his crazy high OBP makes him worth it. Harper has declined in right field ability so much he is way below average. His hitting is such a plus we need him. If we it Harper at DH then Billinger must play OF or 1B. Is he really better? If 1B, then where does Salter play? We could try Harper at C. He played there in high school before joining the Nationals. We traded a minor league P to Dbacks for former Mist RF Marcel Ozuna. Dbacks are paying Ozunas whole contract (10M). OF Weiss re-assigned.

2024 Championship Season
Are we as good as we look on paper? Is this roster unbalanced? Do we need new leadership? Diaz, Jimenez, and Jimenez were good additions but Harper's contract is already an albatross (so he opted in for 23M instead of testing free agency). Fans still love him, but he has no defensive position.
To make things worse, owner Jorge de los Santos has asked me to cut payroll by 10M, and to win the World Series by 2027. How do those goals make sense together? Personel

2025 Season
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. Can we do it again? What will it take? Can we keep the team together? Is there anything to add? Jose Quintana is now 36 years old and Corey Kluber is 39, so a major part of the rotation is old.
Our owner is thrilled with the title but still wants me to cut payroll. Here are his goals for me...he wants another championship, upgrade 2B, cut payroll to 120M, dump Brandon Nimmo, and build a consistent contender by 2029. Portland market size has increased to Average. That is really good news. Budget set at 150M GM contract was extended 4 more years. Awards

This is really tough. 13 All-Star Teams Selected- Twig Macia got the most fan votes. Six Mist Players voted in as AL starters.

Ramos 21 AL Player of the Week- 3B Twig Macia 23 With Kevin Bortnick, Nick Bitzko, and Andy Weiss in the minors we are shopping Jimenez. We tried offering him 17M per year and he countered with 32M. We can land NL MVP Booby Harrison from Charlotte Cyclones if we add Lief Espinoza. We are looking for a top 10 prospect and if that prospect plays OF, that's cool too because Thum is gonna cost too much as well. Our money is going to Macia, Billinger, Situ, Gimenez and the pitching. The Tigers, Reds, and Giants have leaked out that we are discussing trades with their win now ballclubs. Signed All-Star SP Edwin Diaz to a four year extension starting after 2026. (50M) 24 We sadly traded RF Eloy Jimenez with All-Star RP Kennan Pippy, 2B Enmanuel Valdez, SS AJ Graffanino too Tigers for top prospects SS Steve Cacchio & SP Dan Beck & LHP Randy Rosario Cacchio is ranked 3rd in all of baseball, and Beck 33rd. This is a good haul for Jimenez, however, he is a 28 year old power hitter in his prime that just helped us win a World Series. This trade was made ONLY because of his financial requests. Rosario takes Pippy's place in the bullpen. OF Christian Robinson called up from AAA. Billinger will play OF, Altuve will DH, and Espinoza will play 2B. Cacchio will start at AAA <--- we believe he is one year away from being a younger Bobby Harrison (league MVP) 29 We acquired SP Rob Kaminsky from Cleveland (who had asked for a trade). They will pay 90% of his salary, making him a low risk way of improving the rotation (missing De Jesus and Kluber declining). 31 AJ Ramos and Corey Kluber are showing their age, and have really dropped in crispness on their pitches.

We were unable to defend our Championship and our rotation is getting even older and we need to try to shore up the defense.
Our owner is thrilled with the playoffs but still wants me to cut payroll. Here are his goals for me...win another title, cut payroll to 130M, increase profit to 20M, build a regular contender by 2031. My owner has contradictory desires and it has already cost us. We dumped All-Star Eloy Jimenez when he could have helped us defend the title because he was going to be too costly. This is counterproductive. So I have decided this...I will go for the Championship goals because they make sense and I will not make attempts to cut payroll if it hurts our competitiveness. If I get fired. I get fired. Fan Loyalty has increased to Average. This is great news. Budget set at 160M Jose Quintana (35M) offered us a 15M pay cut if we bring back Eloy Jimenez SP Corey Kluber (age 39) did not meet his vesting option. Arbitration Not offering QO to Corey Kluber, Tomas Nido, Danny Salazar, or A.J. Ramos (Nido was the last original Mist, other than Flexen who wasn't here the whole time. Nido has been great but he wants to start now and we are comitted to Marrero) Signed 1B/OF/DH Blake Billinger to long term deal avoid arbitration. It starts out cheap (8M) but is pricey later (22M). Awards
Team Transactions Traded SP Ian Swann to Braves for two way player Triston Casas. Casas led the NL in wins with 20 and ERA with 2.20. He also won the Silver Slugger for P with an average over .300 and 8HR. We will try him at DH on his days off. Traded minor SP Jon Coulson to Angels for RP Doug Peters and minor C Sergio Castro We signed RF Eloy Jimenez to a 7 year deal 19M per. He was asking for 30M per when we traded him to Detroit at the trade deadline. Jose Quintana offered to take a pay cut to help us sign him, however that may only prove helpful for a year or two. The fans are elated. The owner must think I'm ignoring him, because I am. We forfeit a 1st round pick to the Tigers for this signing but we already got their top 2 prospects when we traded him. We signed C Nick Cuiffo to a minor league deal with Spring invite We traded LHP Pat Newberry, RHP Diarlin Jimenez, RHP Steve Hoisington, and 2B Omari Dunnock to Padres for RHP Logan Lombana (NL Holds Leader). Lombana will be our stopper. Added SP Jorge Alaniz, LF Nick Bitzko, LF Andy Weiss on 40 man roster to protect them from Rule 5 draft. We re-signed C Tomas Nido and offered him open competition to start. Nido is the sole original Mist. League Transactions
Mist players Jim Peters and Aydan Nauss set to star in a series of promotional commercials for the team. Commercials feature Nauss pranking Peters all around Portland. Hall of Fame 1B Albert Pujols & 1B Miguel Cabrera Fan interest heading into Spring is 100%. Bringing back Jimenez and Nido and acquiring Casas has the city talking Mist. All our starters except LF (Billinger/Thum) are ranked in top 10 at their position. Our bullpen is underrated in our estimation. Pre-Season Projections have us at 105 wins with 8 of the top 10 offensive players and 3 of the top 10 pitchers in the AL. (Gimenez, Jimenez, Macia, Situ, Espinoza, Billinger, Peters, Diaz, Quintana, Casas) Spring Training Very little drama this year. We are no nonsense focused on winning the World Series. The 5th starter in the rotation and starting catcher are the only real competitions. March 3- SS Andres Gimenez out 4 weeks with oblique strain. Opens door for Thum to claim leadoff duties as a DH or LF while benefitting Steve Cacchio at SS. April 2- RP Koda Glover suffered a herniated disc- out 1 week, will miss opening day. 2026 Opening Day Roster Manager: Auggie Alguacil 1- Edwin Diaz 2- Tristan Casas 3- Jose Quintana 4- Henler DeJesus 5- Aydan Nauss CL- Zi-yang Fen SU- Gabe Carrig ST- Logan Lombana LH- Jon Ortega LH- Randy Rosario RH- Stephen Keller RH- Koda Glover C Elih Marrero C Tomas Nido 1B Li-ben Situ 2B Lief Espinoza 3B Twig Macia SS Andres Gimenez IF Steve Cacchio LF Blake Billinger CF Jim Peters RF Eloy Jimenez OF Carlos J.

Espinoza has power but is our weakest hitter with Cacchio behind him at the same position. Serrano is an ace we need as Quintana and Diaz get older. We negotiate a team friendly extension with Serrano as he has missed all of this season with an elbow injury. His first game for us is his first game for 2026.

This year I am risking my job by not cutting corners with the roster in an effort to win another World Series. Jimenez is back in the fold but the pitching anchors are aging. MVP seasons from Macia and Situ and the young arm acquisition of Serrano, and top prospects Rainville and Beck in the bullpen makes us hopeful. 2026 Playoffs 2026 WILD CARD ROUND AL- Baltimore Orioles over Minnesota Twins NL- Washington Nationals over St.Louis Cardinals 2026 DIVISIONAL SERIES AL- Portland Mist vs Baltimore Orioles AL- Kansas City vs Colorado Rockies NL- San Diego Padres vs Washington Nationals NL- Milwaukee Brewers vs Atlanta Braves ALDS SS Andres Gimenez will miss the first two games of the series with suspension HOT- Macia, Jimenez, Cacchio.

2027 Season
We are the Champions again! I refused to cut the budget and it paid off. We have some salary issues to work through with some of the kids due to be paid now. Should be interesting.
Our owner is thrilled with the title but wanted me to cut payroll. He was obviously happy with the title and I even made him the profit margin he desired but I did not cut payroll. Here are his new goals for me...win a 3rd title, cut payroll to 130M, keep building a consistent contender. Our budget is 170M for player salaries Retirements SP Jose Quintana (expected Hall of Famer) retired and we have retired his number 62. Arbitration- Regular raises except for big hikes for Marrero, Casas, De Jesus, and Peters, none of whom are interested in long term offers at this time. Awards AL Reliever of the Year- CL Zi-yang Fen AL Silver Slugger- 3B Twig Macia AL Silver Slugger- 1B Li-ben Situ AL MVP- 1B Li-ben Situ AL Manager of the Year- Auggie Alguacil AL Cy Young- SP Edwin Diaz Team Transactions We traded LF KL Thum (12M), SP Henler De Jesus (8M), RP Stephen Keller (2M), C Tomas Nido (5M), LF Nick Bitsko, and AAA SP Josh Weaver to Baltimore for backup top prospect CF Luis Quintanilla, IF Jose Antonio Gomez (AAA) CL Randy Wehking, SP Alpha Osagie, CL Joe Wilmoth, and 1B Teagan Greer. Fanbase upset at the move, KL was an entertaining player, Nido was a Mist original, and De Jesus always seemed to have huge potential. We cleared some big $ without creating any holes. We are sold on Kennan Rainville and Dan Beck BOTH in the rotation next year. Thum didn't have a starting role, and Nido was a hardly used backup catcher. Quintanilla gives us a potential huge star in CF, allowing Peters to move to LF. Billinger to 1B and Situ to DH. After Casas complaining in the playoffs of fatigue for playing DH, he will not be given priority. C Kale Ledford signed a minor league contract with Spring Invite. he will compete for backup C 2B Jose Altuve re-signed a 1 year 1.7M deal to provide offensive depth. He still wrecks LHP. League Transaction (Bad year for FAs)
Pre-season National Media is questioning the move of Jim Peters to LF where he doesn't grade out as well. People are also speculating that Peters has been playing over his head and could regress. MVP Twig Macia is raising money to help the Portland area and we funded the Twig Macia Foundation. National Media predict over 100 wins for the Mist again but also giving an OUTRAGEOUS prediction that HR king Li-ben Situ will hit 62HR as a full time DH. Also, putting it out there that Aydan Nauss (borderline MLB) would be a top 10 pitcher. We might be getting trolled. 2027 Spring Training As Champions we have many roster spots set. The starting rotation loss two members in Quintana's retirement and De Jesus departure by trade. We have a rookie going for starting CF and our CF going for LF, that could shake out differently than we expect.

2028 Championship Season
For the second straight season I refused to cut the budget and it paid off...well almost the second time. The expensive members of the bullpen are testing free agency and our power core Li-Ben Situ wants 42M per. A price we would have to painfully balk at. Any kids ready? After giving him a year off from hitting maybe we make Casas a two way player again?
Our owner is thrilled with big season but wanted me to cut payroll. However, he has given up on that and now wants me to build the farm. Here are his new goals for me...win a 3rd title, build a top 6 farm system, while building a consistent contender. Our budget is down to 160M for player salaries. THIS IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE WE ARE JUST GOING TO BE WORSE! Fan Loyalty has increased. Retirements DH Jose Altuve, RP Connor Lillis-White Arbitration
Awards
Former Mist player Luis 'Leif' Espinoza named AL MVP. We would like him back, I will call Team Transactions
Espinoza will effectively replace Situ in the lineup as a DH. We had chose Cacchio over Espinoza and traded him away during our World Series run for ace Serrano. Thrilled to be back in Portland Espinoza signed a team friendly 5 year extension.

2029 Season
We are the World Champions again. It feels great, we are really proud of our team and would like to keep it rolling. However, my owner is asking me to cut spending again. He also extended my contract 4 more years, so maybe I don't care
Here are his goals for the 2029 Season...win a 4th championship, cut payroll to 140M, find a top prospect, build a top 6 farm system, build a dynasty by 2033 Contracts

We landed three giant prospects but will be out of the international market next season 22 After some disappointing contract extension conversations with Gold Glove LF Jim Peters we have decided we should trade him for value. He desires 20M per. We traded LF Jim Peters and AAA SP Jamie Tomiak to Indians in exchange for CF Rogelio Mena, A CL Steve Fordera, and AA SP Juan Flores. Mena should be able to start for us in CF, moving Plumb to LF and Jimenez back to RF. If not Quintanilla will get another shot. We traded 1B Donte Tesfai to Charlotte for RP Juan Banegas We will give 31 year old Banegas an opportunity to start. Our rotation is too thin without Rainville, Serrano, and Keuchel.

2030 Championship Season
If we are the every other year team, then this off-season we are building a Champion. The roster is mostly set, it's a matter of keeping everyone paid and happy. We probably could use another top of the line starter or bullpen arm is all.
Here are the owner goals for the 2030 Season...win a 4th championship, increase profit to 21M, find a top prospect, build a top 6 farm system, and build a dynasty. Payroll set at 180M Retirements Scouting Director Tom Allison Arbitration Most players due modest increases. Big fish aren't interested in long term deals yet
Testing free agency
Awards
Twig Macia finished 3rd in MVP voting Team Transactions
The league clearly doesn't believe in Mike Spiece at 1B like we do. We have fielded 10 trade offers that included starting 1B. Rule 5 Draft- Selected RP Mat Lynn (he could make opening day roster) Charlotte called and offered us the return of 1B Donte Tesfai (whom we could use with Casas pinch hitting ability now gone). We traded disgruntled (AA) SP Danny Hill and (AA) RP Brad Franklin. We are ranked 30th at 1B (low view of Spiece) and 23rd in CF (low view of our platoon). We are ranked 1st at 2B (Cacchio) and SP (Rainville), 2nd at SS (Gimenez) and RP (Smalley), 3rd at 3B (Macia), 4th in RF (Jimenez) and at C (Flores) League Transactions

Players complaining of a World Series hangover. There is plenty of time, but geez they look terrible. 13 HC Mark McGwire suggested batting Plumb second, with Cacchio, Espinoza, Macia, Jimenez sliding down one spot. The product was a 10-2 win. Maybe there is something there. 15 RP Mitch Smalley activated from DL to minor league rehab assignment 22 Early Power Rankings have us sitting at 28th with our 5-10 record. 25 2B Steve Cacchio suspended 2 games for fighting after being HBP Record- 11-13 4th place MAY 1 RP Mitch Smalley activated from rehab assignment (will setup) RP Juan Ramirez re-assigned to AAA RP Bilal Lefevre moves to middle relief 9 All-Star SS Andres Gimenez signed a 5 year extension at 15M per to stay in Portland. As the leadoff hitter of a 4 time Champion team we had to retain him. 12 Rule 5 RP Mat Lynn traded to Pirates for AAA player LF Sean Lozinski called up from AAA 20 LF Sean Lozinski re-assigned to AAA OF Jeremy Bogusch called up from AAA 22 We traded SP Dan Beck, OF Jeremy Bogusch, OF Sean Lozinski and minor league SP Juan Bacilio to Blue Jays for red hot slugger RF Ismael Aguirre, SP Luis Arredondo, and minor league CL Kyeong-min- Um Beck has always struggled with consistency as a starter, even in the playoffs, and doesn't want to relieve. Our offense needs a lift and Aguirre is lighting the world on fire. He will start in RF vs RHP and Jimenez will vs LHP. Arredondo is more consistent than Beck and if not we have Stogner and Sainte in AAA. 30 5-2 record with Aguirre in lineup has us tied for first place!

I have delivered 3 league titles and a 27th ranked prospect. Traded RF Eloy Jimenez (16M) with RP Randy Wehking, RP Pete Stogner, and RP Min-han Yaung to Twins in exchange for top 20 prospect SP Andy Harrison (assigned to AAA) Eloy was the only place to find money and still gets is breaking even instead of allowing my owner to pocket 21M.

Rainville missed the World Series last year with an injury We enter another critical series vs Oakland in Oakland. 3 games series, we sit only 2 games back 9 DH Luis Espinoza named AL Player of the Week. Espinoza rediscovered his power stroke, launching 7 homeruns last week. 10 SP Kennan Rainville diagnosed with tender elbow. He will take one start off.

We are tied for 1st! 23 DH Luis Espinoza named AL Player of the Week again hitting 6 more homers 25 Rainville had to skip a 3rd start but will return next time around We begin final series vs Oakland. We are up 1 game this time. 27 94th win of the season clinches a playoff berth. Something that was actually in doubt after a horrible start. Cacchio said, "This is great and all, but we want to officially win the division and the World Series, of course." 28 3B Twig Macia left game with an injury. Unknown at this time 29 We swept the A's. Clinching the division title Macia has bone marrow edema in his knee. He will miss the rest of the regular season. He has opted for a painful marrow drain surgery that would allow him to return in 15-20 days. He will still miss some playoffs.

RP Bilal Lefevre was left off the playoff roster in order to house Tesfai's pinch hitting abilities. 15 of these players were on the playoff roster that lost the World Series last year. This was not an easy season. We saw the beginning of a drop in production from Twig Macia (age 33), Luis Espinoza lost his power swing for the first 2/3 of the season, and the starting pitching had to be rehauled on the fly. But we won the division with 99 wins. We have won the World Series every other year and the pattern is in our favor.
