Our postseason BFs include qHar-adjacent <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/why-brandon-marshs-wet-hair-makes-him-a-perfect-fit-with-the-phillies">Brandon Marsh</a>, once and maybe forever BF Juan Soto, Kyle “<a href="https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/astros-kyle-tucker-gold-crowns-17523791.php">King Tuck</a>” Tucker, and Machete Maldonado.
