There's nothing quite like late September baseball. The air is crisper, the ball makes a different sound when it comes off the bat, every game takes on increased importance and teams and players alike are jockeying for position in races for playoff spots and individual awards.
While all of that is enough to keep much of the baseball universe's focus squarely on the action, it hasn't kept the rumor mill from looking ahead and beginning to pick up steam in advance of the upcoming offseason.
Is a franchise fixture spending his last few weeks with the only team he's ever known? Will a former Cy Young Award winner add another trophy to his mantle? Could a three-time Manager of the Year be the key to turning around one of the year's biggest disappointments?
We'll tackle all of that and more in this week's edition of "Fact or Fiction."
