Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes took the baseball world by storm this season, establishing himself as one of the MLB's best hurlers in his rookie campaign. Pittsburgh general manager Ben Cherington spoke about that recently, and it doesn't seem like the Pirates will be placing any limitations on their star right-hander.

The Boston Red Sox legend played 19 years in Major League Baseball.

The last week of the season had so many storylines – beyond just the races. There was how far above 50/50 would Shohei Ohtani go (54/59 is the answer); or would Aaron Judge again hit 60 home runs (he fell just short with 58); or if Jose Ramirez could somehow muster a 40/40 season (he also fell short (39/41) because the Guardians last game was rained out).
