Anyone know what would have happened had Cleveland lost yesterday and all AL WC teams ended up with the same record?

 

There would have been a three-team tiebreaker seeded based on records against the other two teams.  Cleveland had the best record in that regard, followed by Tampa Bay, and then Texas.

 

In that case, Tampa Bay would have played at Cleveland tonight with the winner being the first Wild Card team.  The loser of that game would have then played at Texas tomorrow night with the winner of that game being the second Wild Card team.  Then Wednesday would have been WC2 at WC1 to advance to the ALDS.

White Sox sign another Cuban refugee to a $68m, 6 year deal. I'm a little bit surprised by this one though.

Seems like a lot of change for a 1B/DH type.

[funkster]

Yeah...he could end up being a big power guy...or a huge bust.
