Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray revisit some of their biggest assumptions as the playoff races tighten. Are the White Sox suddenly in danger of losing the AL Central to Cleveland, and are the remaining Wild Card spots essentially down to a handful of teams?

Then, they discuss Rafael Devers’ season-ending surgery and whether his scorching finish changes the Giants’ offseason options before reopening the AL MVP debate between Yordan Alvarez, Junior Caminero and Cam Schlittler.

Plus, Adam gives the Mets some credit for their emerging young core before explaining why letting Pete Alonso walk still looks like a massive mistake ahead of his return to Citi Field.
