2020 Topps Baseball: Not Topps' best design but while this was on the shelf it was still hard to pass up. This was one of those smaller packs. Anthony Rendon is a good place to start with this pack. He's having an excellent season with the Angels but the team is struggling mightily.
Mike Clevinger made news with his trade to the San Diego Padres who are all in on 2020. Clevinger was also one of two Indians pitchers who broke team rules when he and a teammate visited friends while on the road. Clevinger then didn't tell the team and flew on their next flight. This seems like a big win for San Diego. Clevinger is very good and under control for a few years.
Three excellent pictures here. Nice pulls.
A fun pack and a fun season. While its been a bit crazy at times the short season means anything can happen. Conventional wisdom says Los Angeles is the team to beat but there are still some very good and very fun teams like San Diego out there to contend with. Go Braves!
BREAKDOWN:
16 – Cards
1 – League Leaders
1 – Turkey Red
1 – Chrome Turkey Red
1 – Decade’s Best
I was pretty annoyed when I heard the news that Clevinger endangered his teammates like that. Thought it was pretty selfish. However as a Padres fan, I was stoked to hear that they were getting a pitcher of his level of talent. I sure hope he learned from his mistake.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It was very selfish. Great pick up for the Padres. Excited to see what they do down the stretch.
DeleteI love that the Dodgers are the class of the league right now and I hope that they can keep their foot on the gas throughout the postseason. Love that Duke Snider Decades' Best.
ReplyDeleteLA has been so close lately. Be hard to complain if they can finally get over the hump.
