They defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in two games in the ALWCS. Their game 1 victory was their first playoff win since 2004, snapping an 18 game playoff losing streak.[3] Their series victory was their first since 2002.[4] However, they were defeated by the Houston Astros in the ALDS in four games.

Offseason

edit

Rule changes

edit

Pursuant to the CBA, new rule changes were in place with the start of the 2023 season:[5]

  • institution of a pitch clock between pitches;
  • limits on pickoff attempts per plate appearance;
  • limits on defensive shifts requiring two infielders to be on either side of second and be within the boundary of the infield; and
  • larger bases (increased to 18-inch squares);

New Uniforms

edit

On November 18, 2022, the team unveiled its first complete uniform redesign since 1987. Along with the 4 brand new uniform designs, the team unveiled an altered "TC" logo and an "M" logo featuring a red North Star.[6]
