Marlins president of baseball operations Mike Hill didn’t reject the notion of an A-Rod signing, telling Miami reporters on Sunday that his club would “look at everything” in light of the Stanton situation. The White Sox defeated the Marlins 8-7. It is unclear whether the two are related.

Alex Rodriguez will not be playing baseball for the rest of the season, his publicist confirmed on Monday.
“We’ve seen unusual stuff happen on our end, definitely”, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
In 2011, a Miami New Times investigation revealed that Rodriguez had been getting steroids from Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables. “Matty caught it and put the tag on him. That was pretty cool”. Ventura asked for a review to see if Mathis blocked the plate, but the call was quickly upheld.
“It was kind of quick and they said it was out, and everyone could take a deep breath”, Yelich said. Although A-Rod is a big name, he will not help the Marlins win. But even if we take for granted that Rodriguez is a good clubhouse guy, this would make basically no sense, as Rodriguez has been bad all season.
That’s what they did Sunday. They needed a number of notable contributions to improve to 4-8 for the month before embarking on a seven-game trip. Andino, a nine-year veteran, was in the lineup at second baseman Sunday for his first major league appearance since 2013.
During the last six winless starts on the mound, Sale has allowed 20 earned runs on 38 hits in a span of 40 2/3 innings.
Also costly was a two-run single by pitcher Tom Koehler off Sale’s right foot.
“He looked like he got shot”, Mattingly said. “I don’t have a lot of hits. I just have to be better”.
That was the fourth consecutive hit to open the inning.
With Stanton out of action, it is likely that the Marlins will turn to Ichiro Suzuki as their new everyday right-fielder.
Cincinnati 1B Joey Votto is 12-for-21 with six RBIs and five runs scored in the last five games. Through 74 games, he had 27 homers and 67 RBIs. He left with the score 3-3 after striking out Anderson to end the sixth with runners on the corners. Conley admitted to pitching with a sore hand following the team’s loss on Saturday. It’s not happening, ” Berkwowitz said in a statement obtained by ESPN.com. “We have to find a way to perform”. When the Marlins signed him to that 13-year, $325 million extension that was heavily backloaded, many assumed that the Marlins calculated that Stanton was a good bet to exercise his opt clause after 2020, figuring he could get more in free agency than what would be owed on the rest of his deal.

But unlike Friday, when they slowed down considerably after scoring three times in the first two innings, the White Sox kept going.
