Many teams improved heading into the decisive months of August and September in the majors in hopes of reaching the World Series and winning it, but there are some who threw in the towel like the Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs and the Angels who practically fell apart. of great players who will no longer be in this and the next seasons.
