October 20, 2022 was highlighted by the 49ers trading a 2023 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round pick and a 2024 5th to Carolina for RB Christian McCaffrey. Alex Bregman became the all time leader in Postseason HR (14) by a 3B, hitting a 3-run bomb to lead the Astros to a 3-2 victory. Milwaukee’s Wes Matthews and LA’s LeBron James both played key roles in their games, but only Matthews got the win, as he hit the game winner to beat Philly 90-88, while the Lake Show lost to LAC. The MLB released finalists for the Gold Gloves, including the new UTL position.
