What in the WORLD are the St. Louis Cardinals doing? Paying $87.5 million for a catcher to... not catch? Also, get introduced to your 2023 New York Pain-kees! We talked about the injury bug hitting the Yankees in Spring Training, but we never could have predicted what they're going through now. To add to their pain, they had to face the best team in baseball this week, and they're last place in the AL East, even though they're playing above .500 ball. Best division in baseball. No doubt. ---------- Follow us on all social media @baseballchain (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) OR click here ---> baseballandchain.com for quick access to all these social media profiles, as well as our Fangrams Form!

The Rays continued their historic streak, racking up records not seen for over a century, and also since the new millenium! Y2K, remember that?! Javier Baez inexplicably forgets how many outs there are, Ji-Man Choi and Ji-Hwan Bae make history, and the Mariners and Cubs play a football game at Wrigley Field... at least score-wise. ----------- Follow us on all social media @baseballchain (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) OR click here ---> linktr.ee/baseballchain for quick access to all these social media profiles, as well as our Fangrams Google Form!

Our final division preview leading up to Opening Day! Does anyone have what it takes to contend with the Astros to win the AL West, or is the Houston dynasty too powerful? If there was to be a challenger, who would it be, and who else would it be but the Mariners? The Rangers made a ton of moves to pickup starting pitching after adding a pair of sluggers in 2021. Where do they stand in the division race? Will the Angels be able to do anything with what is almost surely Shohei Ohtani's final season with the team?

Somebody has to finish last. This division is so balanced and competitive. Who will come out on top?  The Red Sox made a lot of moves, adding a handful of wily veterans and international free agent Masataka Yoshida. The Orioles are an up-and-comer and will not surprise anyone if they make a Wild Card berth this year. The Blue Jays improved on defense and still boast one of the best lineups in the American League. The Rays are always in the thick of the division race and have arguably the best starting rotation in Major League Baseball. The Yankees can blast home runs, but the injury bug has hit them early in Spring Training. Can they find pieces to cover and win the division crown?
