2013 Major League Baseball season

Hi folks!! The start of the 2013 Major League Baseball regular season is around the corner. That means teams are playing games that actually mean something and that can help them get to the World Series. Teams have to make the tough choice on who’s going to be on their 25 man roster for the regular season. The players who don’t make the 25 man roster are either released by the team, traded or go down to the minor leagues. Some of the players who play well in the minor leagues during the season get called up to the major leagues because of injuries. Once the minor league season is over, some players get called up to the major leagues when the roster expands to 40 players in September. Teams also have until July 31^st to make trades but there is also a waiver deadline that is between July 31^st and August 31^st.

The start of the regular season is March 31st when the Texas Rangers play the Houston Astros on a Sunday night. Everybody else plays the next day on April Fools. The 2013 All Star Game will be played on July 16^th at Citi Field in New York City. The last day of the 2013 MLB regular season ends on September 29^th.

I believe that there will be a few teams that will catch people by surprise. I believe that the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners will surprise some people in the American League and I think that Los Angeles Dodgers will surprise some people in the National League
