After every championship, much is written and read about the winners' pathway to that title. How did they build their team, and will this be a referendum on how baseball takes shape?
Whether the Chicago Cubs and their hard reset and signing the best baseball executive since Branch Rickey, the Kansas City Royals and their insane outfield defense and relief pitching, or the New York Yankees and their 2009 money bomb, each team is judged on their merits and how they got there. The hope is to find a way to replicate it, if possible.
