    Fair play to the Astros.. Well deserved over the 7 games.. We've been spoiled this year in terms of quality so roll on the drama of the off season

    Just a quick "Well done" to everyone in the thread.
    I only found the Baseball forum on here this season, so for the first time, I've had somewhere to throw down my thoughts, as I dont have any Baseball supporting friends.
    It's been a pleasure reading through this and the other thread for the season.
    Hopefully, I might even get to take part in the Fantasy Baseball league next season :D

    I know the WS just ended but never too early to have an off season thread going so one can be found here

    And they also got the series MVP for the cover story! It was an easy choice in the end...

    Interview with the SI author of that story on Off The Ball on Newstalk tonight

    And he picked Astros to win again next year and the Yankees in 2020 (no mention of 2019 though).

    I'll have to catch up with that interview.

    Yea, I like the Astros for next year. They will pretty much have the same team and don't really have to do too much in the off season...

    Will they still have Verlander next year? I think it's pretty safe to say they wouldn't have won it without him.

    Repeating’s tough though and baseball is so random, especially the playoffs. I think we all had the Cubs repeating this time last year.

    True but I always thought the Cubs were going to have a world series hangover this season. Who knows with the Astros but they will be there or there abouts over the next few seasons...

    Yes I know they control his rights, the question was more will they trade him for prospects. I was under the impression that he was a rental.
