This is a tough one. So.........
We are saddened by the tragic news that Roy Halladay, 2-time Cy Young Award winner & 8-time All-Star, has died in a plane crash. He was 40. pic.twitter.com/SOFv3bOLyt

Roy Halladay was your favorite player's favorite player. A true ace and a wonderful person. Heartbroken for those who knew him best.

Indians Notes
• Eric Hosmer won Carlos Santana’s gold glove.
• The Indians have a number of minor league free agents, including some guy who goes by “INF Michael Martinez”—who could that be?
• Rosey is spending his offseason doing an Indians puzzle. #RoseyForPresident
• Castrovince is spending his admiring and making puns about a new warning track. (The race to sign Ubaldo Jimenez is now in its third day.)
Non-Indians Notes
• This is a bummer: John Lackey wants to pitch in 2018.
• Curtis Granderson, who looked like “INF Michael Martinez” this postseason shouted “SAME!”
• Jeff Sullivan discovered what we knew: The Royals lack talent.
• He also found the worst called ball of the season.
• And a........ Kershaw eephus!?
• George Springer is on the cover of SI again, and this time he brought his tiny buddy.
