AL East Links: Red Sox, MacPhail, Yankees

By Mike Axisa | September 30, 2011 at 11:27am CDT

Two of the five AL East clubs made the playoffs, and both will begin their quest for the World Series later today. The Rays and Rangers play at 5pm ET, the Yankees and Tigers at 8:30pm ET. Let's round up some notes from the only division with four 81+ win teams in 2011…

  • "It's a big priority, for obvious reasons," said Red Sox GM Theo Epstein to The Boston Globe's Michael Vega when asked about getting big money free agent signings John Lackey and Carl Crawford back on track. "We're going to leave no stone unturned, really, with all of our players and the organization as a whole."
  • Orioles owner Peter Angelos is trying to convince Andy MacPhail to remain with the team in a decision-making or advisory role, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. MacPhail was expected to walk-away from the team after the season.
  • Joel Sherman of The New York Post wrote about the Yankees and their transition from a team that relies on experience to one with youth in important spots.
  • Jeff Passan of Yahoo!Sports broke down Evan Longoria's walk-off homer in Game 162, which sent the Rays to the playoffs for the third time in four years.

    Longoria for MVP? He’s got my vote.

      As a Yankee fan he could even get my vote over Granderson..

      Well, no, but Longoria did exactly what an MVP does and carried that team offensively. Great player and way under-rated. 

      Next person to say Ellsbury for MVP is getting punched in the teeth.

        .244 batting average can’t make you MVP unfortunately…Verlander for MVP

          You’re missing the point as to what Most Valuable Player stands for and average has nothing to do with that. That’s what a batting title is for.

            I agree with both of you and give it to Verlander, but if Longoria gets it, I wouldn’t be upset at all.
