The Dodgers won the World Series last night, defeating the Rays 3-1 to take the Fall Classic four games to two. Corey Seager was named the series’ Most Valuable Player, after batting .400, with two home runs and six walks.
The Tigers have begun shuffling their roster to prepare for next season. Pitchers Dario Agrazal and Dereck Rodriguez, and outfielder Jorge Bonifacio were placed on waivers. They cleared, and were outrighted to Triple-A Toledo. Pitcher Nick Ramirez was also waived, and elected to become a free agent.
The free agency negotiation period opens today, but contracts can’t actually be signed for another five days.
