SANTIAGO.- Las Águilas Cibaeñas anunciaron la firma de 12 jugadores agentes libres dentro del nuevo proceso que rige el béisbol dominicano, luego de que los seis equipos depositaran su reserva nativa de 80 jugadores. “Sin dudas que ha sido un hecho histórico el primer pool de agentes libres del béisbol dominicano, hemos estado compitiendo por el talento dejado en libertad y las Águilas han logrado adquirir algunos brazos jóvenes y otros con experiencia que pueden ayudarnos de inmediato”, asegura Ángel Ovalle. Ovalles destacó que el movimiento le ha permitido conseguir nueve buenos brazos entre los lanzadores libres y también fortalecer el cuadro interior, con dos jugadores del cuadro y un receptor, aspectos en los que han trabajado durante la temporada muerta los 21 veces campeones nacionales El grupo de pitchers lo encabezan los zurdos Eury De La Rosa, nativo de Santiago, y Jairo Labourt. Además los derechos José Cuas, César Rosado, Erasmo Pinales, José Ramírez, Cristian Quintín, Yeison Medina y Eduard Reyes. También el cátcher Adrián Abreu y los infielders Jhoan Ureña, nativo de Santiago y Ángelo Mora. En cuanto al pitcheo, el ejecutivo aguilucho precisa que los amarillos se han fortalecido con Erasmo Pinales, derecho de la organización de los Astros, con experiencia en la liga y un buen stuff, además destacó a Yeison Medina con experiencia en la liga, su evaluación dice que tiene perspectivas en LIDOM. “Eury es un zurdo veterano, con experiencia de Grandes Ligas, del que nosotros esperamos que pueda tener un resurgir en su carrera, él siempre ha deseado lanzar en las Águilas por ser oriundo de aquí. Veremos que trae en el campamento temprano, y el resto nuestras prácticas, yo entiendo que hemos salido fortalecido de esta etapa” Ovalles afirma que “hemos fortalecido más nuestro cuadro interior, donde tuvimos muchos problemas el año pasado, con la firma de Jhoan Ureña, y Ángelo Mora” Ureña, nativo de Santiago, quien pertenecía a los Gigantes, puede dar buenos turnos en ambos lados del plato. Ahora está en Japón en liga menor, les da profundidad a los aguiluchos en tercera y primera base, según el gerente aguilucho. #osnyenelosdeportes #aguilas https://www.instagram.com/p/CFS9B0Ojdxe/?igshid=mecgi7xkx4wp

El éxito de taquilla que trajo a los tigres su ficha comercial más valiosa

Los Blue Jays fueron el tema de conversación de la fecha límite comercial de 2015. Unos días después de traer al campocorto estrella Troy Tulowitzki de los Rockies, los Jays buscaron al mejor lanzador abridor de alquiler en el mercado: el zurdo David Price de los Tigres. En medio de una carrera de siete años de durabilidad prístina y excelencia general, 2015 fue quizás la temporada alta de Price. En el momento del acuerdo, estaba sentado en una efectividad de 2.53 en 146 entradas. Fue un intercambio fascinante por varias razones. Los Jays 52-51 estuvieron solo 1.5 juegos por encima de los Tigers en la clasificación, haciendo que las decisiones de las organizaciones de adoptar enfoques divergentes en la fecha límite sean particularmente interesantes. En ese momento, Fangraphs le dio al talentoso, pero hasta ese momento un desempeño inferior, el club de Toronto tuvo una oportunidad del 48.9% de llegar a la postemporada, mientras que las probabilidades de playoffs de los Tigres se ubicaron en un bajo 9.7%. En ese contexto, tiene sentido entonces: el gerente general de los Azulejos, Alex Anthopolous, consideró el momento adecuado para empujar sus fichas; Es igualmente sensato que el entonces GM de los Tigres, Dave Dombrowski, giró su organización hacia una reconstrucción. Igual de notable fue el elevado costo de adquisición. Los Jays enviaron a los Tigres un trío de prospectos de lanzadores zurdos, liderados por Daniel Norris, quien había ingresado esa temporada como el prospecto general # 18 de Béisbol América. Había tenido algunos problemas de lanzamiento de huelga en los menores, pero Norris parecía parte de un potencial abridor de media rotación. Desafortunadamente, Norris nunca ha cumplido esa inmensa promesa. En más de cuatro temporadas en Detroit, la ex segunda ronda tiene una efectividad acumulada de 4.56 ERA / 4.41 FIP en 396.1 entradas. Su material una vez dominante ha aumentado y disminuido en ese tiempo. Norris silenciosamente tuvo una segunda mitad fuerte en 2019, particularmente después de estar limitado a tres entradas por inicio en agosto. Quizás todavía hay esperanza para que el jugador de 27 años encuentre su nicho. Incluso si Norris no hubiera resultado de la forma en que los fanáticos de Detroit pudieron haber imaginado, los Tigres han obtenido mucho valor a largo plazo del acuerdo de Price. Matthew Boyd fue visto como la tercera pieza en ese momento, detrás de Norris y Jairo Labourt. (Labourt, entonces un respetado abridor de menores de edad, nunca tuvo éxito, incluso después de mudarse al bullpen). Boyd ya había alcanzado las mayores, pero fue visto como un tipo de final de rotación. Baste decir que la mayoría no lo imaginó emergiendo como uno de los principales artistas de ponches del juego, pero eso es exactamente lo que hizo en 2019. Entre los lanzadores con al menos 100 entradas, Boyd ocupó el decimotercer lugar en la tasa de ponches (30.2%) mientras mantenía su control de larga duración (tasa de caminata del 6.2%). La efectividad 4.56 de Boyd no coincidía con esos periféricos fuertes, principalmente debido a la abundancia de cuadrangulares. De hecho, es un lanzador de flyball que siempre puede servir demasiadas pelotas largas para ser un brazo de la parte superior de la rotación. Al igual que cualquier lanzador en el béisbol, Boyd podría beneficiarse si la pelota está menos viva que en las últimas temporadas. Sin embargo, más que nunca, los equipos codician a los lanzadores con cosas de swing and miss. Entre su cuatro marmers y su slider, Boyd tiene un par de armas de murciélagos. Con los Tigres aún por emerger de la reconstrucción, el intercambio de precios comenzó simbólicamente, el propio Boyd podría estar en movimiento en el futuro cercano. Detroit no buscó activamente cambiarlo la temporada baja, pero parece poco probable que el club compita para 2022, su última temporada de control del equipo. Sin duda despertará el interés de los equipos contendientes y traerá de vuelta un retorno mucho más fuerte de lo que su efectividad podría sugerir. En cuanto a los Jays, su historia se ha contado muchas veces, aunque a sus fanáticos puede que no les importe escucharla una vez más. Regresaron en la segunda mitad, no solo asegurando un lugar en los playoffs, sino que también borraron un déficit de siete juegos para ganar la División Este de la Liga Americana. Toronto eliminó a los Rangers en el ALDS ese año en una de las series más memorables de la historia reciente. Su carrera mágica en la segunda mitad llegó a su fin en el ALCS a manos del eventual campeón de la Serie Mundial Royals. Price fue instrumental para ese éxito, lanzando 74.1 entradas de 2.30 ERA ball en los últimos dos meses de la temporada. Convirtió su excelencia desde hace mucho tiempo en un contrato de siete años y $ 217MM con los Medias Rojas en la temporada baja. En total, el intercambio parece una victoria para ambas partes. Los Azulejos obtuvieron una élite de dos meses de un as para ayudarlos a impulsar un título de división. Los Tigres han obtenido muchas entradas valiosas a largo plazo. De hecho, obtuvieron su gran ponche, zurdo de mitad de rotación del acuerdo, incluso si no era el jugador que nadie esperaba que fuera.

Perez swats two home runs as Royals rout Tigers 13-2

DETROIT (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have one major obstacle standing between themselves and a run to the postseason.

They don’t play any more games against the Detroit Tigers.

On Wednesday, Salvador Perez homered twice as they broke open a close game to rout the Tigers 13-2. It was their seventh win in their last eight games against Detroit, including three victories by 10 runs or more.

The Royals are 2 1/2 games behind Minnesota for the second American League wild-card spot, and face the Twins this weekend.

“Every series is important right now,” Perez said. “We have to keep playing hard and keep winning games.”

The Royals, who lost 13-2 to Detroit on Tuesday, broke a 2-2 tie with four runs in the seventh, then scored seven in the eighth.

“You never know when the runs might come,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “You just keep playing and adjust to the situation as it happens.”

Perez drove in three runs, while Whit Merrifield had three doubles and three RBIs. Alcides Escobar had four hits, falling a homer short of the cycle.

“Whit has been a great igniter for the offense, but there was plenty of praise to share tonight,” Yost said.

Jason Hammell (8-10) got the win, giving up two runs, nine hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six while winning for the third time in four starts.

“In the first few innings, I got lucky, because I had no feel for my slider,” he said. “I was able to make up for it with my other pitches and get us deep into the game.”

Tigers starter Matthew Boyd (5-9) pitched six-plus innings, allowing four runs, seven hits and two walks while striking out four.

“I thought today was a building block,” said Boyd, who is adjusting to a revamped delivery. “I need to be better in order to help us win games, but I can go forward from here.”

The Tigers went 1-6 on their homestand and were outscored 51-26 despite the 11-run win over the Royals.

“Boyd pitched well,” Ausmus said. “That’s the only positive we can take away from tonight.”

Perez gave the Royals a 1-0 lead in the second inning with his 23rd homer. The home run was Kansas City’s 169th of the season, setting a franchise record.

“That record means a lot to us,” he said. “We get better every year, and we’re proud of it.”

Escobar made it 2-0 later in the inning with an RBI triple.

The Tigers got on the board after an error by third baseman Mike Moustakas in the fourth inning. With runners on the corners and one out, he misplayed what looked like an inning-ending double play ball, allowing James Hicks to score from third.

Ian Kinsler tied the game in the fifth, hitting his 15th homer. It was his 16th straight solo homer, with his last multi-run home run coming on Sept. 28, 2016, against Cody Anderson of the Cleveland Indians.

Escobar led off the seventh with a double and Alex Gordon blooped an RBI double down the left-field line, ending Boyd’s night. Warwick Saupold allowed a third straight double, this one to Merrifield, giving the Royals a 4-2 lead.

Lorenzo Cain singled home Merrifield, and Melky Cabrera doubled to move Cain to third and bring Jairo Labourt out of the Tigers bullpen. A passed ball gave Kansas City a 6-2 lead, but Labourt struck out Eric Hosmer and, after an intentional walk, got Moustakas to hit into an inning-ending double play.

Moustakas, who had been noticeably limping in the field, left the game after the inning with a sore knee. He’s listed as day to day.

“It’s nothing new,” Yost said. “It’s just a matter of pain management right now.”

The Royals put the game away with their seven-run eighth, including two runs on Merrifield’s third double and two more on Perez’s second homer. Tigers rookie Joe Jimenez gave up five runs in the inning while only recording one out.

Jimenez has a 12.83 ERA in 17 appearances after dominating at three minor-league levels since the start of 2016. His fastball has lost several miles per hour, but he says there is nothing wrong with his arm.

“His velocity is still down, and I can’t tell you why that is,” Ausmus agreed. “Obviously, you don’t want a young player’s confidence to get wrecked, but we have several young guys in that position, and we can’t protect them all.”

TRAINER’S ROOM

Royals: RHP Joakim Soria (oblique) and LHP Danny Duffy (elbow) both threw short bullpen sessions on Wednesday. If they have no soreness, they will throw again on Friday with the hopes of returning before the end of the regular season.

Tigers: RHP Anibal Sanchez (calf) could pitch this weekend against the Blue Jays. Sanchez left Tuesday’s start after being hit by a groundball on his fifth pitch of the night, so he could pitch with fewer than four days’ rest.

UP NEXT

Royals: Kansas City returns home Thursday to start a four-game series with the Minnesota Twins. Sam Gaviglio (3-5, 4.62) will make his Royals debut after being claimed on waivers from Seattle on Friday, while Kyle Gibson (9-10, 5.33) starts for Minnesota.

Tigers: Detroit is off on Thursday before starting a three-game series in Toronto on Friday. Buck Farmer (3-2, 7.18) starts for the Tigers against an undetermined Blue Jays starter.

Who would say no? Dealing for the greatest aces

New Post has been published on https://othersportsnews.com/who-would-say-no-dealing-for-the-greatest-aces/

Who would say no? Dealing for the greatest aces

It seems that every playoff contender wants pitching support as the trade deadline methods. Pitching has been bad this period. Across the majors, teams are scoring 4.sixty seven operates for each activity, six-tenths of a operate much more for each activity than in 2014 and the optimum mark due to the fact 2007. A couple of years ago, absolutely everyone required hitting now, absolutely everyone wants pitching.

The three greatest setting up pitchers in trade rumors are Yu Darvish, Justin Verlander and Sonny Gray. All those are pretty seductive names, three pitchers who have the talent to make a major impact down the stretch and, much more importantly, in the postseason. All three could be traded, but it also wouldn’t be surprising if none of the three is traded.

Let us consider a nearer appear at these pitchers and what a potential offer might appear like.

The Rangers want to re-sign Yu Darvish, so trading him at the deadline might not support that. ESPN Stats & Information and facts

Agreement standing: No cost agent at finish of period

Equivalent trades: Johnny Cueto, Reds to Royals (2015) David Price, Tigers to Blue Jays (2015) Jon Lester, Crimson Sox to A’s (2014)

Hold up with the newest as baseball’s time for bargains hits entire swing. Trade Deadline Everyday » Olney: Most significant deadline thoughts » Insider: Predicting landing places Olney: Texas mulls Darvish possibilities » Schoenfield: Untouchable gamers » Comprehensive deadline protection »

Darvish would be the most frequent style of deadline acquisition: a two-month rental. Even though his strikeout level is down a bit in 2017, Darvish stays one of the most dynamic starters in the majors, certainly a guy who qualifies as an ace, except your description of ace finishes with “Max Scherzer” or “Chris Sale.”

Listed here is what all those similar bargains returned:

Cueto: Brandon Finnegan (LHP), John Lamb (LHP), Cody Reed (LHP). Finnegan entered the period as Kansas City’s No. 5 prospect on Keith Law’s preseason list, whilst Reed shot up the prospect charts right after a sturdy period and entered 2016 as Law’s No. fifty four general prospect.

Price: Daniel Norris (LHP), Matt Boyd (LHP), Jairo Labourt (LHP). Norris was the massive prize in this article, No. fifteen on Law’s midseason top-fifty prospect list. Labourt was a wild, hard-throwing Course A starter, and now a reliever, he created the 2017 Futures Activity.

Lester: Yoenis Cespedes (moreover a aggressive equilibrium draft pick). The Crimson Sox flipped Cespedes right after the period to the Tigers for Rick Porcello. We will dismiss the Lester trade, as that one was an anomaly as much as deadline trades go. It would look that Darvish should provide a top-fifty prospect (or close to a top-fifty guy), moreover a close-to-the-majors rotation possibility this kind of as Finnegan or Boyd and perhaps a 3rd wild-card prospect.

Trade prospects: The Los Angeles Dodgers, maybe much more fascinated in a setting up pitcher than they were being a pair days ago, experienced three gamers on Law’s latest top-fifty list: RHP Walker Buehler (No. eleven), OF Alex Verdugo (twelve) and RHP Yadier Alvarez (28). No doubt, the Rangers would need a trade centered about Buehler or Alvarez. The Houston Astros have OF Kyle Tucker (sixteen), RHP Forrest Whitley (36), RHP Franklin Perez (43) and 1B Yordan Alvarez (forty six). I don’t see the Astros trading Tucker for a rental, but Whitley or Perez, both of those in Course A, would be candidates. If Stephen Strasburg‘s arm stiffness is something much more severe, the Nationals might be fascinated, though they is not going to offer OF Victor Robles (4). They might, even so, take into consideration OF Juan Soto (42). The Yankees might search for a alternative for the wounded Michael Pineda, though their only top-fifty prospect is SS Gleyber Torres (2), and they aren’t trading him.

What might transpire: Texas conquer writer Evan Grant claimed Monday on MLB Community Radio that his gut feeling is that the Rangers will finish up not trading Darvish. For one factor, they are nevertheless in the wild-card race. Also, they’d like to re-sign Darvish, and which is much more most likely to transpire if they don’t trade him (request the Crimson Sox about re-signing Lester). Certainly, the Yankees pulled this move with Aroldis Chapman, but Chapman arrived with baggage that created it most likely that his absolutely free-agent market place would be much more constrained than Darvish’s. The Rangers also believe that, if they re-sign Darvish, they will have a much better possibility of signing Japanese star Shohei Otani if he is posted this offseason.

Justin Verlander’s no-trade clause will make it even more difficult for the Tigers to move their ace. Peter G. Aiken/United states of america Currently Sporting activities

Agreement standing: Signed via 2019 with a potential 2020 vesting choice if he finishes in the top five of the 2019 Cy Youthful voting. Verlander is owed $28 million just about every of the following two seasons, moreover about $nine million for the remainder of 2017.

Equivalent trade: Cole Hamels, Phillies to Rangers (2015)

Any Verlander trade would be difficult, as teams are hesitant to consider on a massive wage and give up high quality prospective clients, so the Tigers might have to take in some of the money. As well as, Verlander is just not obtaining as excellent a period as he did final yr, when he concluded 2nd in Cy Youthful voting. Even now, stories of his demise certainly look premature, and recall that he pitched his greatest baseball of 2016 in the 2nd 50 percent.

Hamels is just not really the best match, as he experienced three seasons moreover an choice yr remaining on his deal, fairly than two. His stats at the time of the trade appear much better than Verlander’s, but right after sabermetric adjustments, they are essentially pretty close: Hamels experienced a 106 Period+, Verlander 96. Hamels was traded with reliever Jake Diekman for a bundle of five prospective clients (pitcher Matt Harrison was incorporated merely to offset some of Hamels’ deal). Catcher Jorge Alfaro (No. 49 on the midseason list) was the one top-fifty prospect at the time, but RHP Jake Thompson and OF Nick Williams both of those cracked Law’s 2016 top-100 list. The greatest player in the offer, even so, might flip out to be pitcher Jerad Eickhoff.

Trade prospects: The Dodgers can afford Verlander, but they might not take into consideration him plenty of of an update to trade absent a bundle of prospective clients. Maybe the Tigers would take into consideration digging into the Dodgers’ 2nd tier of prospective clients, this kind of as 2B Willie Calhoun and RHP Mitchell White. The Milwaukee Brewers could be a shock crew in this article simply because their payroll is so very low that there is place to provide on Verlander’s wage, moreover they have a highly rated farm procedure. The Yankees have the farm procedure depth to make a Hamels-like trade, with RHP Likelihood Adams a guy the Tigers would want.

What might transpire: A Verlander offer is probably a greater prolonged shot than a Darvish trade, though Verlander’s deal means he is the style of player who could nevertheless be traded in August. Verlander experienced a solid outing on Monday, with nine K’s in 7 innings. Could that be his remaining start off in a Tigers uniform?

Sonny Gray is below crew handle via 2019. Kelley L Cox/United states of america Currently Sporting activities

Agreement standing: Underneath crew handle via 2019

Equivalent trade: Drew Pomeranz, Padres to Crimson Sox (2016)

Players with Gray’s services time are almost never traded at the deadline, and Buster Olney has composed that some executives believe that simply because Gray is nevertheless in an Oakland uniform, he’ll keep on being in an Oakland uniform until finally the offseason. Gray has bounced again from an damage-marred 2016 to appear like the pitcher who concluded 3rd in the 2015 Cy Youthful voting.

Pomeranz is just not a best comparison, as he experienced just moved from the bullpen to the rotation in 2016, but he experienced an All-Star initial 50 percent, and the Crimson Sox traded RHP Anderson Espinoza — No. 14 on Law’s midseason rankings — to get him. Is Gray really worth much more? Almost certainly, specified that he has a for a longer period observe document of results if you dismiss 2016. At the very same time, most felt that the Crimson Sox overpaid for Pomeranz, though he has experienced a pretty solid 2017, whilst Espinoza has been hurt.

Trade prospects: We once again appear to the Dodgers and Astros in this article as most likely entrance-runners. Gray should price much more than Verlander simply because of his decreased wage, so you happen to be probably on the lookout at a high quality prospect on the Espinoza amount as the centerpiece. The Chicago Cubs might not be finished with Jose Quintana, as they appear for one more starter they can handle previous 2017, though right after trading Eloy Jimenez in that offer, they don’t have one more top-fifty guy to entice the A’s. The Seattle Mariners were being talked about in rumors Monday, but their thin farm procedure helps make a offer unlikely. The Brewers would probably be much more fascinated in Gray than Verlander and could construct a offer about OF Lewis Brinson (29).

What might transpire: It helps make also substantially perception for the A’s to trade Gray. Offered his damage record, it really is also risky for the A’s to hold on to him. The Dodgers and A’s created a deadline offer final yr with the Abundant Hill/Josh Reddick trade. I forecast they hook up once again.
