The 1998 Arizona Diamondbacks season was the franchise's 1st season in Major League Baseball and their 1st season at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, as members of the National League West. They looked to contend in what was a strong National League West. They finished the season 33 games behind the National League Champion San Diego Padres with a record of 65–97, last in the division.
The Arizona Diamondbacks' 2010 season, the franchise's 13th season in Major League Baseball, included the team's attempt to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007. On July 1, 2010, the Arizona Diamondbacks fired Manager A. J. Hinch following a 31–48 start to the 2010 season and promoted Kirk Gibson who had served as the bench coach of the team since the 2007 season. Along with the dismissal of Hinch came the firing of General Manager Josh Byrnes.
The 2013 Baltimore Orioles season was the 113th season in franchise history, the 60th in Baltimore, and the 22nd at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Orioles began the 2013 season on April 2 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The 2014 Toronto Blue Jays season was the 38th season for the franchise, and the 25th full season of play at Rogers Centre. Pitcher Roy Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Blue Jays before retiring from baseball, citing injuries.
Bo Joseph Bichette is an American professional baseball shortstop for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2019. Bichette is a two-time MLB All-Star and twice led the American League in hits. His father, Dante Bichette, also played in the MLB.
The Tampa Bay Rays 2017 season was the Rays' 20th season of Major League Baseball, and the tenth as the "Rays". Although they improved upon their record from last season, they still finished in third place in the American League East and did not make the playoffs.
The Tampa Bay Rays 2018 season was the Rays' 21st season of Major League Baseball, and the 11th as the "Rays". The Rays played this season with few starting pitchers. Many games were started by pitchers normally used in relief, referred to as openers. This approach saw the Rays set MLB single season records for most no decisions by starters (91) and most wins by relievers (55). They finished the season with a 90–72 record, their first winning season since 2013; however, for the fifth consecutive year, they failed to make the postseason. This was because the Red Sox had 108 wins for the division title, while the Yankees had 100 wins and the Athletics had 97 wins for the wild card.
The 2018 San Diego Padres season was the 50th season of the San Diego Padres franchise. The Padres played their home games at Petco Park as members of Major League Baseball's National League West.
The 2019 Tampa Bay Rays season was the Rays' 22nd season of Major League Baseball, and the 12th as the "Rays". The Rays clinched a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2013 and defeated the Oakland Athletics in the ALWC Game 5–1. They then lost in the ALDS to the Houston Astros 3–2.
The 2019 Oakland Athletics season was the 119th season for the Oakland Athletics franchise, all as members of the American League, and their 52nd season in Oakland. The A's clinched a spot in the ALWC Game on September 27; however, they lost to the Tampa Bay Rays in that game 5–1. The 2019 season was the final season the team shared the Coliseum with the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders relocated to Las Vegas prior to the following season leaving the Coliseum as a baseball-only facility for the first time since 1994.
The 2020 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 138th season in the history of the franchise, its 17th season at Citizens Bank Park, and the first season under new manager Joe Girardi.
The 2020 Tampa Bay Rays season was the 23rd season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise. The Rays played their home games at Tropicana Field as members of Major League Baseball's American League East.
The 2021 Milwaukee Brewers season was the 52nd season for the Brewers in Milwaukee, the 24th in the National League, and 53rd overall.
The 2021 Baltimore Orioles season was the 121st season in Baltimore Orioles franchise history, the 68th in Baltimore, and the 30th at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. They significantly failed at attempting to improve on their 25–35 (.417) record from the previous year. The Orioles endured two different losing streaks of 14 or more between the middle and the end of May, as well as between August 3 and August 24. The Orioles pitching staff combined for a franchise-worst ERA of 5.84 and yielded 911 earned runs in the season, which led MLB and was the most earned runs surrendered by a pitching staff since the 2001 Texas Rangers allowed 913 earned runs. All of the team's pitchers that made a start finished the season with a losing record. The Orioles were eliminated from playoff contention on August 28 with their loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. They suffered their 3rd 100+ loss season in four years with their loss to the Boston Red Sox on September 17. With the Orioles loss in the season finale against the Blue Jays, they suffered their second 110-loss season in team history; it was also the third such season in overall franchise history, going back to their time as the St. Louis Browns.
The 2021 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's 45th season in Major League Baseball.
The 2021 Cleveland Indians season was the 121st season for the franchise. It was the ninth season under the leadership of manager Terry Francona and sixth under general manager Mike Chernoff. The Indians played their home games at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
The 2022 Tampa Bay Rays season was the 25th season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise and their 15th as the Rays. The Rays played their home games at Tropicana Field as members of Major League Baseball's American League East.
The 2023 Tampa Bay Rays season was the 26th season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise and their 16th as the Rays. The Rays played their home games at Tropicana Field as members of Major League Baseball's American League East.
