Hello folks and welcome to Saturday! Here’s what’s happening in baseball today.
In playoff news...

Pitching Coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr has signed a new deal to return to the Marlins in 2022. I wish it was just that simple. With Stott’s blessing, I detail his current, and until now private battle with Prostate Cancer for @HeraldSports. https://t.co/TNv7rLGBLx
