Before we get into the LCS roundups, there were a host of retirements among players who finished their careers in the minors this year.
Former Rays: Brett Phillips, Luke Raley, Christian Arroyo, Francisco Mejia, Yonny Chirinos, J.P. Feyereisen
Other notables: Noah Syndergaard, Anthony Santander, Framber Valdez, Cody Bellinger, Devin Williams
As far as the LCSes go, we're going to be partying like it was 1992 in the World Series:
Houston took an early 2-0 lead in Toronto but the Jays fought all the way back to return to the World Series for the first time since Joe Carter walked it off against Mitch Williams in 1993.
Atlanta had an easier time of it, are back in the Series after losing to the Rays in 2026 and looking for their first title since 2021.
