Green, a 2014 draft pick, has had success with short-season Spokane recently, and possesses a plus fastball and curveball, if little-to-no idea what he’s doing with them, yet. NY agreed to send Texas cash to offset part of Beltran’s $15 million salary. He is having a career renaissance this year having 22 homers, driving in 64 runs and also batting.304.

From wire reportsThe Texas Rangers made a mad dash to the Monday non-waiver trade deadline, acquiring All-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy from the Milwaukee Brewers and All-Star outfielder/designated hitter Carlos Beltran from the New York Yankees.The Rangers confirmed the Beltran deal but had not confirmed the Lucroy deal.
“I think the headline of it all is to keep the ball down”, Tate told the website in mid-July.
If you’re the type that considers the “closer” role to be a real thing that matters, Jeffress will probably lose that coveted position – incumbent closer Sam Dyson is performing admirably this season, though he has hit some bumps in the road lately, surrendering an.853 OPS against over his last 11 outings. “That meant packaging two very good, talented players together but we’re certainly very happy with the return that generated”. Even more, he is signed for a club-friendly $9 million per season for two more years. He will be eligible for free agency after this year’s World Series. But he remains in search of his first World Series title, as do the Rangers – who lost in five games to the San Francisco Giants in 2010 before their seven-game series against the Cardinals in 2011.
A nine-time All-Star after making this year’s AL roster, Beltran has a.281 career average with 414 home runs.
The best part about the Rangers trades? The Indians aren’t sure what they are going to get from Gomes or outfielder Michael Brantley, their best hitter from a year ago who has been on the disabled list all season. “We didn’t want to give up Dillon Tate, but we’re happy with the deal”.
After peaking at 56-52 last week, the Yankees dropped back to.500 with four straight losses, including a three-game weekend sweep by last-place Tampa Bay. Amusing thing is we set out a month ago, “You know, let’s not leave it to the end”.
After getting top prospects Gleybar Torres and Clint Frazier in the deals for Chapman and Miller, the Yankees are obtaining someone who has struggled after being a top-100 prospect this season.
He has a limited no-trade provision in his contract, but the Rangers were not among the 15 teams he could not be dealt to without his consent.
Among the half-dozen names that left the Texas organization Monday were young pitchers Dillon Tate and Luis Ortiz and outfielder Lewis Brinson. He faces a revamped Rangers lineup that just added Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Beltran, both I expect to be in the box faces Bundy’s best tonight. I find it hard to believe a player that has had Tommy John surgery as well as a multiple of other significant injuries can handle a full time starters workload, but the Orioles are giving it a go to see.
You’re talking about a two-way, All-Star catcher – top handful of guys in the game. He has been with the Brewers for all six of his major league seasons, hitting.284 in 805 games, and his contract includes a $5.25 million team option for 2017. “Really excited and can’t wait to get after it!” he wrote on his verified Twitter account. Robinson Chirinos has started 33 games. There is also a chance they got no future major leaguers.
Adding Lucroy is an upgrade over the Rangers’ current catching tandem of Robinson Chirinos and Bobby Wilson – one of whom will likely be designated for assignment.
