Well, here we go, folks. The first Game 7 in a World Series since the before times – the last was in 2019 when the Nationals squeaked past the Astros, in the only case ever where the road team won all seven games.

The next day is actually an important one for Nats fans to follow. November 21st is the non-tender deadline. We actually wrote about how the Nats have a few non-tender candidates, so this is a date to keep an eye on. There could also be a flurry of trade activity around this time. Do not be surprised if we see some Nats moves around November 21st.

Jays in six? A winner-take-all Game 7? We’ll know by the end of the night if the baseball season is going to extend for one more day. Plus: The Nationals have a new manager, and The National has a baseball writer … sorta. I’m Levi Weaver, here with Ken Rosenthal. Welcome to The Windup!

The Blue Jays were one win from a World Series title but suffered two consecutive heartbreaking losses that helped the Dodgers repeat as champions.
