Boston at Toronto, 10-12 Sep.

Well, at least it's not a first place team. It's just the defending champs.

The title defense hasn't gone too well, and team president Dave Dombrowski has just walked the plank after three first place finishes and a World Series title. That's a high bar, indeed, although I still think the gold standard would be the Yankees firing their manager after losing the seventh game of the World Series. Twice. In five years.

The Red Sox are leaking all kinds of stories about how the Dombrowski regime had become thoroughly dysfunctional. I think they were just afraid he was going to give Mookie Betts $500 million dollars next week.
