Every Tuesday of the 2020 season, I looked forward to writing “Tuesday Trends,” a weekly column about the inevitable ups and downs of a baseball season. Like a bell, Tuesday announced itself as the day on which I should check in on whether Jeremy Jeffress successfully walked the tight rope over the past week or whether there were any signs of life with Albert Almora Jr.
Inevitably, he did and there weren’t. Week-to-week though, that Tuesday Trends bell rang and I did my best to answer it.
We’re now in 2021 and with only four games behind us, this isn’t exactly the ideal time for a column focused on trends.
