The 2021 MLB Trade Deadline is just over a week away.Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ro s Atkins this week the team will be looking to buy on July 30th. Several teams match up well with a number of the Blue Jays' biggest needs (Cubs, Pirates, Twins), but none more than the Texas Rangers.In discu sion with beat reporterChris Halicke, details
Roger Staubach Jersey of some potential deadline offers (and counter offers) between Texas and Toronto were hashed out. Packages included offers for outfielder Joey Gallo, starting pitcher Kyle Gibson, and reliever Ian Kennedy.Joey Gallo Offer(s):1) INF/OF Cavan Biggio (MLB) + INF Orelvis Martinez (A) for Gallo2) INF Jordan Groshans (AA) + RHP CJ Van Eyk (A+) for Gallo For arguably the most valuable hitting a set on deadline day, a 26-year-old defensively versatile hitter with plenty of control like Biggio and a rising top 100 prospect like Martinez seems like a bar-setting offer.If Texas has no interest in MLB a sets, Groshans isa clear top 100 guy who could be the core of a prospect-based offer, as he maybe displaced on a future Jays team with plenty of infield prospects.Gallo Counter Offer:OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (MLB) + INF Jordan Groshans (AA) or RHP Simeon Woods Richardson (AA) + INF Orelvis Martinez (A) forGallo + Kennedy This sounds like an ambitious counter-offer, but let me break it down.A contract extension with Joey Gallo is not off the table for the Rangers. In fact, its a real po sibility. Gallo has publicly stated a strong desire to remain in a Rangers uniform. Therefore, the Rangers need to be blown away by a trade package.Cavan Biggio would serve very little purpose for the Rangers short-term and long-term plans. While the Rangers dont have much impact talent in their farm system, they have a plethora of infield options that will start getting looks in the big leagues next season, including current No. 1 prospect Josh Jung, who also plays third base.Gurriel Jr. would help recoup the lo s of Gallo in the outfield while Groshans and Martinez give the Rangers two exciting prospects one who will see the big leagues soon and one who is still a few years away. The Rangers have also been interested in controllable a sets like Gurriel Jr. Gallo would upgrade the Blue Jays outfield for at least two playoff runs and Ian Kennedy would help sure up the bullpen for a run this season.The Rangers need to shoot high when teams
Roger Staubach T Shirts ask about Gallo. Plus, the Padres might be calling with an offer we cant refuse. The sticking point on this offer for the Blue Jays would be the inclusion of Orelvis Martinez alongside another top prospect. Moving Martinez, who has .941 OPS in Single-A, and one of SWR or Jordan Groshans would slash the top of Toronto's prospect depth for just 1.5 years of control. One of Groshans or Woods Richardson could certainly move in a deadline blockbuster but there isn't a player on the market that would warrant that kind of spending for a Toronto team still outside the playoffs.Though Toronto would likely rather move Randal Grichuk, it makes baseball sense to make Lourdes Gurriel Jr. available in talks for a multi-year batlike Gallo.Scroll to ContinueIf the Jays plan on making a big offensive splash this deadline, the general combination of MLB a sets and prospects to sed out would make a lot of
Leighton Vander Esch Jersey sense. But something like Gurriel Jr., Woods Richardson/Groshans, and Otto Lopez/Adam Kloffenstein may prove more palatable.Decision: Not this year.Kyle Gibson Offer:RHP Adam Kloffenstein (A+) + RHP Bowden Francis (AAA) It is difficult to find a comparable trade piece from the last few years to Gibson rarely do controllable starters in their mid-30s have a career year and find themselves on the block. Kloffenstein is a recent first-round pick, who is probably in the league-wide top 150-200 prospect range. Francis is a lower ceiling upper-minors arm who the Jays recently acquired in the Rowdy Tellez trade.Gibson Counter Offer:INF Orelvis Martinez (A) + P Thomas Hatch (MLB) for P Kyle Gibson + OF Julio Pablo Martinez The Blue Jays may feel this is too steep of an ask for a starting pitcher who is having a career year. Martinez is trending up and may not be available if Gibson was offered by himself. Ive attached Julio Pablo Martinez, who was the Rangers No. 2 prospect on Baseball America just two years ago, as a sweetener.Gibson is only owed $7 million next season, which makes him
Jaylon Smith Jersey valuable even if he reverts back to a mid- or back-of-the-rotation starter. The Rangers will be seeking prospects who could help give a jolt to their system, which is why Im asking for Martinez. Thomas Hatch is a controllable pitcher that could compete for innings in Arlington now, which is the type of players the Rangers have acquired in recent years. Martinez is one of the fastest rising prospects in Torontos system, but in a thin starting pitching market like this years, a player like Gibson will almost certainly take an organizational top-10 guy like him. If Martinez isn't untouchable, I think Torontos decision on this offer would come down to the valuation on Hatch.The team has been adamant about keeping Hatch as a starting pitching, only calling him up for the first time this season to make a since-rained-out spot start against the Red Sox. If the Blue Jays see Hatch as a guy with mid-rotation upside, they likely wont include him for a year and a bit of Gibson.Given that both the initial and counter offer here include a Top 10 Blue Jays prospect and an upper-minors starter, the offers dont seem that far from ironing out the details of a deal.Decision: Maybe there's a middle-ground prospect between Martinez and Kloffenstein (INF Miguel Hiraldo?), but no for now.Ian Kennedy Offer:RHP Patrick Murphy (MLB) + INF Tanner Morris (A+) for RP Ian Kennedy This is the type of trade that happens four to five times a deadline an expiring veteran late-inning reliever for fliers the acquiring organization likes. Murphy is a high-ranked guy on some prospect lists who the Jays have tried to shuttle between Triple-A and the MLB, but he hasn't latched onto leverage innings.Morris is the upside here, a fifth-round pick in 2019, the infielder is unranked on most Jays Top 30 prospect lists, but sits around the 40-50 range. In 59 A+ games this year he has a .809 OPS. While I dont nece sarily have a counter-offer for Kennedy, I cant imagine hell bring back a top 10 prospect from an organization like the Blue Jays, so Murphy seems like a reasonable get. It
Dallas Cowboys Women Jersey s all but certain Kennedy will be traded, so it will come down to which contender wants to pay the most for a veteran reliever.
I've noticed the number of fans who are calling forAndres Gimenez to get moved up in the Guardians' batting order. Of course, on the surface, it seems like an obvious decision. Gimenez is batting .297 slugging .475 and has 40 RBI this season. However, it may be a little more complicated than just that.If Gimenez were to get moved up in the order, the logical decision would be second. Jose Ramirez is not moving out of third, and Franmil Reyes and Josh Naylor have the power bats the team wants at fourth and fifth.Steven Kwan has been incredible as a lefthanded, leadoff hitter. But, Gimenez
Terry McLaurin Jersey is also a lefty. Why is this a big deal?A team that has
Ryan Kerrigan Jersey their first and second batters as lefties are giving the opposing pitching staffs and managers a huge advantage, especially later in games when the bullpen is being utilized. This could create plenty of bad matchups for both Kwan and Gimenez.Gimenez batting second would absolutelybe fine if Kwan wasn't leading off. But with how well Kwan has looked in that position, it's hard to see him getting moved out of it.One of Gimenez's calling cards this season is his ability to hit with runners in scoring position. He's been fabulous! In this situation, he is batting .377, slugging .768, and has an OPS of 1.206. He also has 37 RBI.But, if he were to get moved up in the lineup, he won't have as many of these opportunities. Think about it, in order to hit with RISP, you have to have RISP. Right now the four players hitting in front of him are a combination of Naylor, Reyes, Ramirez, and
NFL Washington Commanders Jersey Rosario. These are all players who have historically gotten on base at a pretty good rate.If he were to bat higher up in the order such as second, the player who could be in front of him is Kwan, then when the lineup turns over, a combination of Myles Straw, Austin Hedges /Luke Maile, Owen Miller, and po sibly Nolan Jones. These players haven't gotten on base as much
Jamin Davis Jersey this season, or in Jones' case, still a bit too early to tell.Gimenez has actually moved around in the order quite a bit. This season he's made appearances batting second, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth. However, he has easily been the most succe sful batting in the sixth or seventh position.Gimenez is slashing .313/.398/.463 when batting sixth and is slashing .318/.357/.523 when batting seventh. He also has a combination of seven home runs and 33 RBI in this slot too.Scroll to ContinueClearly, Gimenez is comfortable in the order where he is. Confidence is key, especially with younger players. Own Miller started off the year red hot but hasn't looked the same since he moved into the cleanup role, and then moved out of it. I would hate for the same thing to happen to Gimenez too. Is it really worth the risk of moving him up a few more spots?-----Read More:---

On this day in 1995, a 20-year-old shortstop named Derek Jeter recorded his first Major League hit.Over the next two decades, Jeter would compile a total of 3,465 hits, sixth most in baseball history.To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jeter's first hit, Sports Illustrated's Inside The Pinstripes presents you with 25 of the most memorable hits of The Captain's illustrious career. From his first to his last, take a trip down memory land in chronological order to honor the Hall of Famer and one of the greatest to ever play this game.1. Hit No. 1 for No. 2After an 0-for-5 performance in his big-league debut the day prior, Jeter stroked a grounder through the left side of the infield for a single off Seattle's right-hander Tim Belcher.2. First RBI (off The Big Unit)Imagine facing Randy Johnson in just your third game suiting up at the Major League level.For Jeter's third career hit, the shortstop took a fastball from the lefty flamethrower and deposited it into right field for an RBI single, the first run batted in of his career. Johnson went on to win the American League Cy Young Award in '95 with a record of 18-2. He received a no decision in
Anthony Coyle Jersey this start, in part because of Jeter's two-out RBI.3. First hit at Yankee StadiumIt wasn't until Jeter's fifth game of his career that he gave Yankees fans an in-person sneak peek of what was to come.With the California Angels in town, Jeter ripped a ball into the left-field corner, scoring one run to give the Bombers an early 2-1 lead. As he reached second base on the double, it also marked the first extra base hit of Jeter's career in New York.4. First home run (on first Opening Day)Through his first 15 games in 1995, Jeter had yet to hit his first career home run. That changed on Opening Day the following spring. To lead off the top of the fifth in Cleveland, No. 2 turned on a pitch from righty Dennis Martinez, sending it into the left-field bleachers for his first big-league homer. He would go on to hit another 259 in his career in the regular season.5. Only regular season home run in extra inningsAcro s 2,747 regular season games, only did Derek Jeter homer in extra innings it just so happens that home runIn Kansas City, both starting pitchers had twirled nine shutout innings as the game transitioned into the 10th. With Joe Girardi on second, Jeter blasted a fly ball to straight away center field. The Royals center fielder Tom
Chris Wilcox Jersey Goodwin couldn't make the grab as the ball trickled back toward the infield. Jeter rounded the bases for a two-run, inside-the-park homer to give New York the lead.6. First career walk-off hitBy the end of his career, Jeter was known for his late-inning heroics and ability to come up big in the clutch. That began down the stretch in '96.Against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, Jeter stepped up with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 10th. The game was tied at 11.With two strikes, Jeter laced a single right back up the middle to secure the victory for the Bombers. Wade Boggs, another future Hall of Famer, scored on the play.7. Jeffrey Maier home runIn Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS, the Yankees were down 4-3 in the eighth inning to the Baltimore Orioles. With Armando Benitez on the mound, Jeter skied a fly ball to deep right, approaching Yankee Stadium's short porch. Right fielder Tony Tarrasco reached up to make the grab but a young fan Jeffrey Maier reached for the ball as it caromed off his glove and into the first row of the bleacher seats. Did Maier reach over the
Zaire Franklin Jersey wall? Perhaps a replay review would have changed the call. Either way, Jeter had his first postseason homer.8. All-Star Game MVPStarting at shortstop and hitting second in the 2000 All-Star Game, Jeter went 3-3, squaring up base hits off Randy Johnson, Kevin Brown and Al Leiter. Coincidentally, each of those three NL All-Star hurlers would eventually end up as Jeter's teammates in the Bronx.9. Leadoff homer in Subway SeriesOn the very first pitch of Game 4 of the 2000 World Series, Jeter went deep.No. 2 sent a fastball from Mets' starter Bobby Jones into the seats at Shea Stadium to give the Bombers an early lead, one they wouldn't relinquish. New York went on to win the World Series the next game, Jeter's fourth in a span of five seasons. He was recognized as the 2000 World Series MVP.10. Mr. November wins Game 4In a game that began on October 31, the clock had struck midnight by the time Jeter stepped into the box in the bottom of the tenth frame.With Diamondbacks' closer Byung-Hyun Kim on the mound, the shortstop belted a full-count pitch to the opposite field, clearing the short porch in right to give the Yankees a 4-3 win (and himself a new nickname).11. Only regular season walk-off home runJeter blasted only one walk-off home run in the regular season in his entire career and it came shortly after the 2005 campaign began.In the bottom of the 9th off Keith Foulke, Jeter went to the opposite field for a solo shot to clinch a 4-3 win over the rival
Tony Brown Jersey Red Sox.12. First and only grand slamAfter eclipsing the 10-year anniversary of his MLB debut, Jeter still had never hit a grand slam.In an interleague matchup with the Chicago Cubs at Yankee Stadium, Jeter delivered with the bases loaded. A no-doubt homer to the power alley in left-center field was his first grand slam of his career he would never accomplish the feat again.13. All-Star Game at Yankee StadiumIn front of the home crowd, in an emotional send-off to the cla sic Yankee Stadium, Jeter got on base in his first at-bat.Starting at shortstop and hitting second in the American League's order, Jeter looped a softly hit line drive to the right side of the infield. A tough hop had the ball evade the glove of second baseman Chase Utley, allowing The Captain to reach.Scroll to Continue14. Final hit in old Yankee StadiumJeter wound up with 1,274 hits in the old Yankee Stadium. It's only fitting that the final base hit of his tenure in The House That Ruth Built was a single to right field. Before going hitle s in the Yankees final two contests at Yankee Stadium in 2008, Jeter grounded a base knock through the right side in the bottom of the fifth of a 3-2 Yankees victory.15. Jeter pa ses Lou GehrigWith Jeter's 2,722nd hit, The Captain pa sed all-time Yankees great Lou Gehrig on the leaderboard for the most hits in franchise history. As is typically the case, Jeter reached on a sharply hit line drive to the right side this time over the first base bag down the line to clinch the historic milestone. 16. 11 hits in 2009 World SeriesEn route to his fifth and final World Series title, Jeter set a new personal best for hits in a single postseason series (out of a total of 33 total series in his vast playoff career). In six games against the Phillies, Jeter tallied 11 hits, posting a .407 batting average.In a decisive Game 6, when the Bombers clinched at Yankee Stadium, Jeter had three hits his third multi-
Matthew Adams Jersey hit game of the series. 17. 3,000
CLEVELAND - Thanks to a 9th inning filled with drama, the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago White Sox 4-1 Wednesday night,
Junior Seau Jersey lifting their 2018 mark to 85-66 on season. Jason Kipnis was the hero, as his 1000th career hit was a memorable one, a walk-off grand slam that was the only big hit of the night for the Tribe, sending the Wahoo's home a winner. The setback for the White Sox puts them at 59-92 on the season, and the three-game set will wrap up Thursday night at Progre sive Field with a 7:10pm first pitch. Here are three takeaways
Joe Reed Jersey from Wednesdays ballgame:1. Kip's Heroics Jason Kipnis could not have picked a better time for his 1000th career-hit, a no-doubt about it grand slam that lifted the Tribe to the 4-1 win. The slam was the 17th homer of the year for Kipnis, and in a season in which he's still at times scuffling at the plate (.229 on the season), he's still trying his best, and it paid off in a HUGE way on Wednesday leading the
Justin Herbert Hoodies Sweatshirts team to the win. And yes, he was able to get the ball back after the win from a fan, who in return got an autographed ball.Scroll to Continue2. Cookie's Night RHP Carlos Carrasco looked sharp in the eventual Indians win, as allowed just a solo home run against the White Sox. Though the Indians offense didnt give him much support. Cookie fought hard and was able to keep the Indians in the ballgame. This was a very encouraging start as he is preparing
Zion Johnson Jersey for the postseason. Pitching Line: 6.2 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run, 1 home run, 1 walk, 11 strikeouts, 3.35 ERA3. Josh Donaldson and Andrew Miller Both Josh Donaldson and Andrew Miller played in back-to-back games for the Indians for the first time since May. At the time, Donaldson was playing for the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a major step for Miller and Donaldson. Both of these players will be key players for the Indians in October. On the night Miller threw a third of an inning, allowing a hit, while Donaldson got the 9th inning rally going, legging out a single. He was 1-for-3, and
Michael Bandy Jersey manager Terry Francona said after the game he wouldn't play in the finale on Thursday. Game Info:
The Tribe won their second straight game on Tuesday, defeating the
J J Watt T Shirts Seattle Mariners 4-3. Here's Tuesday, March 8th's edition of "5 Notes from Goodyear."1. Trevor Bauer Looks Solid The right-hander pitched three solid innings, allowing one earned run, while walking two and striking out two. It was a good way for Bauer to bounce back after giving up two runs in two innings in his Cactus League debut last week.2. Mike Napoli Crushing It Napoli is

Brian Shaw Bounces Back The right-handed setup man made his second appearance of Spring Training. His first appearance was not what he was hoping for, as Shaw allowed five earned
Jonathan Ledbetter Jersey runs in two-thirds of an inning on March 3rd. On Tuesday, Shaw came in with a save opportunity in the ninth, and only allowed one hit, earning the save. The Tribe has now improved to 2-4-2 in Cactus League

The Arizona Fall League is a six-week off season league for minor league players to continue their development and showcase their talents. Many of the prospects who can be seen in the league are considered among the top prospects in their respective organizations. It's also an opportunity for players that might have mi sed time with injury to get in more innings and at bats. An invite to the Arizona Fall League is considered a prestigious opportunity. Typically more than half of all players who appear in the fall league will make a major league
Tom Jackson Jersey roster. MLB all star teams are annually full of AZFL alumni.There are 6 teams in the league split into an East and West division. Each team is comprised of prospects from five different Major League organizations. Typically up to seven players are provided by each MLB organization.This year the league will also feature the rule changes set to take effect in MLB next season. The Fall League has often been the avenue in which MLB experiments with potential new rules, so this isnt a surprise. The pitch clock is nothing new to the Fall League, since theyve been testing it in various forms since 2014. This year they will also be adding bigger bases and the restriction on shifts.Games are played in various spring training stadiums around the valley. This year there will also be several games played at Chase Field. The Marquee event is the Fall All Stars Game, which will be played on November 6th at Sloan Park in Mesa.Camelback Ranch Glendale - Glendale Desert Dogs (Brewers, Dodgers, Reds, Twins, White Sox)Peoria Sports Complex - Peoria Javelinas (Guardians, Mariners, Mets, Nationals, Padres)Salt River Fields - Salt River Rafters (Blue Jays, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Tigers)Scottsdale Stadium - Scottsdale Scorpions (Angels, Braves, Giants, Orioles, Red Sox)Sloan Park - Mesa Solar Sox (Athletics, Cubs, Marlins, Rays, Yankees)Surprise Stadium - Surprise Saguaros (Astros, Phillies, Pirates, Rangers, Royals)Ticket and schedule information can be found Scroll to ContinueShorstop Jordan LawlarLawlar was the D-backs first round pick in 2021 and had an excellent first year in the D-backs system. The 20-year-old shortstop started the year
Kareem Jackson Jersey with Low-A Visalia but finished at AA Amarillo. An abnormal rib growth sidelined him for three weeks, but it didn't stop Lawlar from having a great season. On the year, Lawlar is hitting .308/.404/.517 with 16 home runs and 39 stolen bases in 450 plate appearances. The No. 2 prospect in the D-backs system as ranked by is the team's shortstop of the future and could arrive as early as next September.Third Baseman Deyvison De Los SantosDe Los Santos was an international signing in 2019 and has done nothing but crush baseballs since. The lumbering third baseman and No. 10 prospect has emerged as one of the top power bats in the D-backs system. In 2022, De Los Santos has hit .306/.347/.502 with 22 home runs and driven in 104 runs. Despite the high power ceiling, the key concerns are approach with 145 strikeouts
Brett Jones Jersey in 551 plate appearances (26.3%) and long term defensive home. The key for De Los Santos is show that he can still do damage without selling out in his approach.Catcher/Outfielder Cooper HummelDespite spending most of the season on the D-backs active roster, Hummel struggled to establish himself and lost out on opportunities to other players. On the year, he's hit .176/.280/.296 for Arizona and showed an ability to work counts early in the season. As the D-backs were calling up some of their top outfield prospects, Hummel ended up moving back behind the plate as the team's backup catcher. The Fall League will be a chance for him to catch up on the at-bats he didn't get with Reno and Arizona.Right-Handed Reliever J.B. BukauskasBukauskas had another year marred by injuries as he spent two stints on the injured list, starting from a Grade 2 strain of his teres major muscle that kept him out until July. When healthy, Bukauskas can hit 94-97 MPH with a 4-seamer and a wipeout slider. His fastball has been crushed in his limited experience in the big leagues, but his slider has performed well. With the team desperately searching for bullpen help, this is an opportunity for
Dalton Risner Jersey Bukauskas to convince the D-backs he is part of the solution.Right-Handed Starter Chad PatrickPatrick was the D-backs 4th round pick in the 2021 draft, but mi sed most of the 2022 season with an injury. He made 13 appearances, 10 starts, pitching to a 3.30 ERA in 46 1/3 innings with a 54/17 strikeout to walk ratio. Patrick finished the year with High-A Hillsboro, making 6 starts. He went 3-0 with a 3.77 ERA and a 30/10 strikeout to walk ratio in 28.2 innings. Patrick sits in the low 90s with a fastball and complements it with a curveball and changeup that play up due to good control. His upside is a #4/5 starter in a big league rotation.Left-Handed Reliever Kyle BackhusBackhus was a non-drafted free agent signing out of Sam Houston State in 2021 and has hung in there in two minor league seasons. This year he pitched between High-A Hillsboro and AA Amarillo, going 3-5 with a 3.27 ERA and 6 saves. The most notable statistic is his strikeout rate, punching out 78 hitters in just 52.1 innings. He utilizes a sinker that sits 89-91 MPH and a slider from a dropdown arm angle that could make him a tough matchup against left-handed hitters.Right-Handed Reliever Jackson GoddardGoddard was a 3rd round selection by Arizona in the 2018 draft, but injuries have stalled his development until this year. The injuries
Dre'Mont Jones Jersey and lack of consistent strike throwing have moved him into the bullpen, where he pitched to a 4.09 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 22 innings with High-A Hillsboro. Goddard will need to have a good showing in the Fall League to progre s towards the big leagues, as the lack of control threatens to have him stall out.
The Indians have activated all-star second baseman Jason Kipnis from the 10-day disabled list and optioned third baseman Yandy Diaz to
Nick Foles Jersey Cla s-AAA Columbus. Kipnis will be in the lineup Friday against the
NFL Chicago Bears Jersey White Sox and will bat sixth behind Jose Ramirez who will move from second to third base with Kipnis activation. Diaz departs the team after providing a strong defensive glove, despite limited experience at third and brought a positive presence to the plate for a rookie. Batting .236 (13-55) with a
Justin Fields T Shirts pair of RBIs and nine runs, Diaz was a spark for the Tribes offense after a very productive spring made him the clear choice to cover third in Kipnis absence. After mi sing
