DD had a great tenure in Detroit and the tigers won some division tiles under his belt. Tigers always were solid contenders to win the WSs in those years. He wants to repeat that here. He has the profile, expirence and authority to run a big market team like Boston. We are in good hands moving forward.
Since POs is a different story, here's my prediction:
Twins over Yankees
Sox over Astros
Guardians over Twins
Sox over Guardians
Arizona over Colorado
Cubs over Nats
LA over Arizona
LA over Cubs
Sox vs LA, and everything can happen here.
