MLB in brief: Which direction will the Phillies take? | Billy Eppler was destined to leave

What direction will the Phillies take?

Game #7 could be the last for several players on the team. And if Bryce Harper stays at first base, that changes the game.

And some of them, more emotional, say they have spent their whole lives in Philadelphia.

Aaron Nola and Rhys Hoskins both said that they’d like to stay with the Phillies. But the team’s longest tenured players also know that Game 7 may have been their final night with the Phils. “I’ve grown up here. I learned a lot of things about life here.” https://t.co/R86SrTEoC5

Speaking of Eppler: his departure would be a constructive dismissal.

Quite a comeback

The Diamondbacks enter the World Series as one of the teams with the lowest odds at the start of the season.

Besides, could the Mets take a look at their approach, with a view to next season?

How far will Craig Breslow take the Red Sox?

Will his hiring serve as wake-up call to the team?

Just three weeks ago, Sam Kennedy assertively claimed that anyone who wanted to run a baseball organization would want to come to Boston. He then asked 10 people who fit that category and they said no. https://t.co/ECaIZ3fthT
