I’m writing this as the Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays have started playing Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. Both of these teams have for the best part of a decade struggled to find consistency and actually contend.
The Royals are in their second ALCS in as many years and Alex Anthopolous made some ridiculous moves this deadline that it’s hard to believe that a team can actually have as much talent as this current Blue Jays roster does.
The Marlins last played in the playoffs in 2003 they haven’t really come close since.
