Last time we checked in on baseball’s best-selling jerseys it was around the All-Star break and the top spots belonged to Buster Posey and Mariano Rivera.
MLB just released a list of the best-selling jerseys of the offseason and it turns out this time around everyone wanted to celebrate the Red Sox winning the World Series:
1. David Ortiz, Red Sox
2. Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox
3. Derek Jeter, Yankees
4. Yadier Molina, Cardinals
5. Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers
6. Andrew McCutchen, Pirates
7. Buster Posey, Giants
8. David Wright, Mets
9. Robinson Cano, Mariners
10. Manny Machado, Orioles
Comparing the midseason list to the offseason list, the only holdovers in the top 10 are Jeter, Molina, Posey, Wright, and Machado.
Also of note: Yasiel Puig ranked 11th and Matt Harvey still cracked the top 20 at No. 16 despite undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery. In all, 10 of the top 20 jerseys belong to players in New York, Boston, or Los Angeles (plus Cano, who just left New York).
Not mentioned, but assumed: J.J. Putz ranked dead last for the 12th consecutive season.
