Sonstiges » we arrive at possibly the brightest feather

Now Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey , we arrive at possibly the brightest feather in Bumgarner's trade-value cap: his price tag.Assuming the Giants pick up his team option (a slam-dunk assumption), he'll earn $12 million in 2019. Contrast that to the $25 million the Chicago Cubs paid Yu Darvish to post a 4.95 ERA and melt into an injury-riddled puddle in 2018. Never mind the money the Cubs will pay Darvish through 2023.Signing an expensive ace is risky. So is trading top prospects, but a play for Bumgarner makes far more short-term sense for New York.San Francisco fans will balk at a Bumgarner trade. Other than catcher Buster Posey, no player had a greater impact on the Giants' trio of even-year championships in 2010, 2012 and 2014.Those days are over, however. San Francisco added veteran pieces last offseason in the hopes of squeezing one more run out of its aging core but finished 73-89, 18.5 games out in the NL West. They fired general manager Bobby Evans. A reshuffle in the front office should likewise mean a reshuffling of the roster."That would certainly be heavy in the equation http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-larry-doby-jersey , and I'm sure that would come up in the interview process," executive Brian Sabean said of a theoretical Bumgarner swap while addressing the club's GM search, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.No matter what, the Giants must bolster a farm system that ranked No. 24 in the game, per Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter.Which brings us back to the Yankees. New York slipped from No. 3 in Reuter's preseason farm-system rankings to No. 16 by the end of the 2018 MiLB season. Mostly, Reuter noted, that's because blue-chip infielders Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar graduated to the show.The Yankees have chips remaining Bob Feller Jersey , however. Left-hander Justus Sheffield is MLB-ready and would be a high-end ask for San Francisco. A deeper package featuring toolsy outfielder Estevan Florial and right-handers Albert Abreu and Domingo Acevedo might pique the Giants' interest.Julio Cortez/Associated PressIn April, ESPN.com's Buster Olney speculated on the possibility of a Bumgarner blockbuster."The left-hander would become the most coveted trade target in baseball鈥攎aybe one of the most sought-after summer market pieces in baseball history鈥攊f the Giants ever auctioned him off, and he would probably glean at least two high-end prospects for an organization thin on minor-league talent," Olney opined.It'll take a bushel of young talent for the Yankees to net MadBum. It'll take a lot of fan-displeasing fortitude for the Giants to let him go with an eye on the future.Round peg, meet round hole. All statistics courtesy of FanGraphs and Baseball Reference. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Bartolo Colon kept the Texas Rangers close after a rough first inning in his first start since setting the record for victories by a Latin American pitcher.His catcher helped the 45-year-old right-hander extend that mark.Robinson Chirinos hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the fourth while finishing with four RBIs Satchel Paige Jersey , and Colon made it through five innings in the Rangers’ 5-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night.Colon (7-10) retired 10 consecutive batters after allowing run-scoring doubles by A.J.

A native of the Dominican Republic, Colon has four more victories than countryman and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal.“He’s been doing it for so long, he knows when he gives up some runs he can come back and keep the game close,” Chirinos said. “That’s what he did tonight.”Chirinos’ 443-foot drive into the visitors’ bullpen in left-center was his 16th homer of the season and ended Arizona right-hander Zack Greinke’s streak of nine straight starts allowing two runs or fewer. Chirinos added an RBI single in the eighth.Ronald Guzman led off the third with his 13th homer after Greinke (12-8) retired the first six Texas hitters.Greinke permitted six hits and four runs in 6 1/3 innings with two walks and six strikeouts while dropping his third straight start after winning his previous seven decisions.“I think they’re the best offense in baseball the last month,” Greinke said. “So going in in their home park is going to be tough. But I made more mistakes and got behind in more counts than needed to make it a little bit tougher.”Colon gave up four hits and three runs while setting a Texas record with his 22nd straight start with two or fewer walks. He issued one free pass and struck out three. Colon has won both his starts in August after losing all five in July.Rangers reliever Eddie Butler retired all six batters he faced. Cory Gearrin got Eduardo Escobar on a tapper in front of the plate to end the eighth with runners at the corners in a one-run game, and Jose Leclerc struck out two in a perfect ninth for his second save.BELTRE’S HAMSTRINGRangers manager Jeff Banister said Adrian Beltre reinjured his left hamstring while scoring from second base on Chirinos’ single in the eighth. He was replaced at third base by Jurickson Profar in the ninth. The Rangers said Beltre Joe Carter Jersey , who got career hit No. 3,137, would have an MRI on Tuesday. Beltre has missed 27 games over two stints on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring.TOP OF THE HEAPThe Diamondbacks began the night a game ahead of the Dodgers for the lead in the NL West. Los Angeles played San Francisco at home later Monday. “Our pitching has been outstanding, and that’s the reason we are where we’re at,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “I feel like we’ve earned it. Could it be better? Yeah.”NICE SNAG, SKIPBanister made a nifty, one-handed catch on a bouncer into the dugout from Guzman in the fourth inning Francisco Lindor Jersey , reaching above his head with his right hand. Three innings earlier, he stayed away from a smash by Escobar. Both were batting left-handed. “It was just inside my reach,” Banister said. “The first one I was not going to be able to catch. That one was coming pretty hard. That one would have hurt for a long time.”TRAINER’S ROOMRangers: RHP Doug Fister is headed home for the season because his right knee strain isn’t responding to treatment as hoped. Fister hasn’t pitched since limping off the mound after throwing the first pitch of the sixth inning against Houston on June 8. … RF Nomar Mazara (right thumb sprain) will play nine innings in a rehab assignment for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. He’s been out since July 17.UP NEXTArizona LHP Patrick Corbin (9-4, 3.15 ERA) makes his first career appearance against the Rangers in the finale of the two-game series.
