MLB has a new offseason award and I’m intrigued:
Enter the All-MLB Team -- baseball’s first-of-its-kind foray into a star squad that covers the full breadth of the Major League season and does not separate players by league.
The selection process for the 2019 All-MLB Team presented by Scotts is underway and runs through 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 3, with 50% of the vote coming from fans and 50% coming from a panel of experts.
Anything to keep people talking about the sport in the offseason and in a way that doesn’t focus on all the off field stuff is a good thing.
Less good? By way of the team sucking, the Giants don’t factor much into this year's ballot. Still, one last reminder that Will Smith was a very good Giant.
