Good morning everyone! The Cubs managed to hang onto life yesterday while the Yankees pulled ahead of the Astros 3-2 in the series with a victory over Dallas Keuchel. I don’t know about you but I’m ready for the offseason so we can see some crazy Jerry moves. Until then, here are some links to keep you occupied.

Around the league...

• I’m just gonna leave this here.

• Chris Taylor thrived because of the Dodgers, and not necessarily because he’s always had it in him, writes Travis Sawchik.
• I wonder what prompted this.

• A group is forming to try to bring Major League Baseball to Portland.
• Jeff Sullivan breaks down Yu Darvish’s RBI walk from Tuesday.
