You saw that at the deadline this year. The divisions didn't really matter and most teams acted accordingly.
10:14
The Padres did a lot, but they made moves that help them *next* year too (plus have the newness factor of not having made the playoffs)

I think it's a little hard to know what was that and was the short season (I mean, it was some of both) but yeah
You want teams to feel embarassed if they don't try to get better

I feel like Dave Roberts coming out and saying there wasn't an incentive to win the division beyond wanting to win it was the death knell for the current format. It might stay expanded, but there's gonna be changes
this format is terrible

It's also important to remember that the Padres' biggest acquisition, Mike Clevinger, was traded away by another playoff team, not a cellar dweller

Yeah - he's an odd case because I think they wanted him out after the COVID stuff but yes

Yeah, I totally missed the Clevinger trade. I heard stuff but I didn't believe the trade until it actually happened.

Fangraphs writers, still time to revise your NL picks! Braves hit better than the Yanks, and Bieber is better than Bauer... Good hitting beats good pitching.
