                <description><![CDATA[  Lucas Sims Jersey  ARLINGTON, Texas Cro s one third baseman off the Yankees trade-deadline wish list. Ryan McMahon would make a lot of sense as a fit in The Bronx. The first-time All-Star has been solid, both defensively and offensively (.797 OPS with 14 home runs in 95 games). The lefty hitters production has come with the Rockies, a club that entered the break 29 games under .500 and with virtually no chance of playing in October. Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon hustles in to score a run against the Reds on July 10, 2024. USA TODAY Sports McMahon is 29, signed through 2027 and owed a reasonable $44 million over the final three seasons of his contract. The Rockies could jump-start a rebuild by trading a player with value and a player the Yankees, in particular, would value after . Explore More But McMahon has been a sured that however much sense a trade might make, a trade will not happen at the deadline. See Also Over the past week or two, McMahon said, he grabbed Colorado general manager Bill Schmidt before batting practice one day and asked for a chat. We had a good talk, talked about it, and we came to the conclusion that Im going to stay a Rockie, McMahon said Monday from Globe Life Field, where he was set to come off the bench for Tuesdays Midsummer Cla sic. McMahon has a 4-month-old daughter and a wife who would have to pack up the whole house and everything like that, he said. He wanted some peace of mind and he got it, as the Rockies will hope to build around him rather than build through the prospects he could command. The Yankees will have to look elsewhere if they want to upgrade from LeMahieu, although Jon Berti is nearing a rehab a signment and could become an option. Its not hard to understand why the Yankees would have potentially been interested in Ryan McMahon, as his lefty swing is tailor-made for Yankee Stadium. Getty Images Another option for the Yankees could become Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who primarily plays first base for a fading Blue Jays club. Guerrero said in 2022 that he would never sign with the Yankees. A year later, he said that his anger with the organization was a personal thing that goes back with my family. Recently, Guerrero and play for any team if traded. Asked again about the Yankees po sibility Monday, Guerrero did not want to clarify whether his stance has softened. I talked to my dad about it and I told him that we decided to close that chapter, Guerrero said through an interpreter. We dont want to talk about the Yankees situation anymore. American League manager Bruce Bochy slotted Aaron Judge at cleanup, which means Judge is not guaranteed to face electric National League starter Paul Skenes. NL manager Torey Lovullo said he most likely will not ask Skenes to pitch a second inning, even if his first is short. Pirates rookie Paul Skenes with his girlfriend, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne will start for the NL in Tuesdays All-Star Game. USA TODAY Sports Skenes, the 22-year-old rookie who already has blo somed into a superstar, might have to put a runner on base. It will be cool, Skenes said of the po sibility of facing Judge, whom he has not seen in his 11 big-league starts. The Pirates phenom averages 99.1-mph with his fastball, but a diving pitch he calls a splinker might be his best offering.

Enjoy this Post Sports+ exclusive newsletter! He has special stuff, Judge said. You can talk about the velocity on his pitches, but the guys a pitcher. Judge would only see that pitcher if Steven Kwan, Gunnar Henderson or Juan Soto reaches base. We got a good lineup, Judge said with a smile. What would be his approach against Skenes? Dont blink, Judge said, because that balls coming pretty fast.  Boston Red Sox Jersey  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Right-hander has been released by the Astros, according to his at MLB.com. Hes now a free agent and will be free to pursue opportunities with any club on the open market. Daz, 29, was claimed off waivers from the Tigers in April. He to sed one scorele s inning for the Astros before getting designated for a signment. He cleared waivers and elected free agency but then stayed in the organization by inking a minor league deal with the Astros. He reported to Triple-A Sugar Land but didnt fare well there, at least in terms of results. He to sed 14 innings over 13 appearances but allowed 15 earned runs. That leads to an earned run average of 9.64 thats probably misleading. His .392 batting average on balls in play and 40% strand rate were both on the unlucky side of average. He only  Tyler Wells Jersey  struck out 15.2% of batters faced but also only walked 7.6% and didnt allow a home run, which is why his 3.62 FIP was far below his ERA. All of that is a small sample and in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League as well. His big league track record dates back to 2017 and includes 127 1/3 innings with a 4.81 ERA. That number is a bit skewed by his rookie season, when he was a 22-year-old Rule 5 pick of the Padres despite never having pitched above A-ball before. He to sed 41 2/3 innings for the Friars that year with a 7.34 ERA. Since that campaign, he has thrown 85 2/3 innings in the majors with a 3.57 ERA, scattered over several campaigns with the Padres, Tigers and that one inning with the Astros. His 10.9% walk rate in that stretch is on the high side but he also punched out 27.7% of batters faced. From 2021 to 2023, he also to sed 137 2/3 innings in the minors. His 4.97 ERA in that time isnt especially impre sive and his 11.3% walk rate was on the high side, but his 26.2% strikeout rate was quite solid. Despite debuting way back in 2017, Daz is still about six months shy of his 30th birthday. He has exhausted his option seasons but has just around three years of big league service time. His results havent been perfect but hes generally been able to rack up strikeouts wherever hes gone, apart from his small sample of work for Sugar Land this year.

                <description><![CDATA[ The Pirates announced several roster moves today in the aftermath of the trade deadline. The club selected the contract of right-hander and added left-hander to the roster after him from the Rockies yesterday. In addition, the club placed right-hander on the 15-day injured list, transferred right-hander to the 60-day IL, and designated right-hander for a signment. Woodford, 27, signed with Pittsburgh on a minor league deal last month after being designated for a signment by the White Sox following two spot starts with the club where he surrendered a combined ten runs on fifteen hits while striking out seven and walking five in 8 1/3 innings of work. The right-handers two difficult appearances in Chicago come on the heels of an up-and-down tenure with the Cardinals. Selected by the club in the first round of the 2015 draft, Woodford made his debut in the 2020 season and after struggling in a cup of coffee that year proved to be a solid swingman and multi-inning reliever for St. Louis in 2021 and 22. Over those two seasons, Woodford posted a 3.26 ERA and 3.93 FIP in 116 innings of work. Those strong numbers came in spite of a paltry 15.4% strikeout rate that paired with a decent but unspectacular 7.5% walk rate. A strong 45.8% groundball rate helped to explain Woodfords succe s to some extent, but the main reason he was able to post such strong numbers was that a microscopic 6.9% of his fly balls left the yard for home runs during those two seasons. That allowed him to float an above-average 76.3% strand rate while allowing a slightly below average .285 BABIP. Unfortunately, the right-handers production seemed to regre s to his performance in 2023 as he struggled badly to a 6.23 ERA and 6.61 FIP as his walk rate climbed to 9.9% while his luck in avoiding the  Pablo Sandoval Jersey  long ball reversed, leaving him with 11 homers allowed in just 47 2/3 innings of work. Now Woodford figures to get another shot at the big league level with Pittsburgh after looking good in seven starts with the club at the Triple-A level. Hes allowed an ERA of just 2.29 in those 35 1/3 frames and his strikeout rate has ticked up to a respectable 26% against a 3.5% walk rate, offering some optimism that he may be able to post stronger results going forward. Woodford appears unlikely to return to the spot starter role he held with the White Sox, instead serving as a multi-inning reliever in a Pittsburgh bullpen that just lost Mlodzinski. A first round pick by the Pirates in the 2020 draft, Mlodzinski has looked good in a swing role for the club this year with a 3.18 ERA and 3.16 FIP in 34 innings but now figures to be sidelined for some time due to a right shoulder strain. Clearing up a pair of spots on the clubs 40-man roster are Jefferies and Ryan. Jefferies has been on the shelf due to inflammation in his throwing elbow since early this month but now will be out until at least early September. As for Ryan, the right-hander was a by the club back in December who made the clubs Opening Day roster and has been riding the shuttle between Triple-A and the majors ever since. In 17 innings of work for the club at the big league level, Ryan sports a lackluster 5.29 ERA, although his solid 21% strikeout rate and a 3.80 FIP both suggest his underlying performance may have been better than that production would suggest. That said, his numbers at Triple-A inspire little confidence, as hes struggled to a 4.61 ERA in 27 1/3 innings at the level this year. The Pirates will have one week to attempt to pa s Ryan through waivers. The Pirates would be able to outright him to the minors if he clears waivers, but the righty has already been outrighted previously and could opt to reject that a signment in favor of free agency if he so chose.

                <description><![CDATA[ The Guardians announced that outfielder has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain. Outfielder was called up from Triple-A Columbus in the corresponding move, and no other transaction was required since Halpin was already on the 40-man roster. Jones came off the bench as a late-game sub in the Guardians 6-2 win over the Twins yesterday, but was replaced by a pinch-hitter when  Brett Johnson Jersey  it was his turn at bat. The timing of the injury will at least end Jones regular season, and will probably sideline him for any October action if Cleveland can make the playoffs. It already didnt seem too likely that Jones would make a postseason roster anyway, given how he has struggled in his return to Cleveland. Re-acquired from the Rockies in a trade just prior to Opening Day, Jones has hit just .211/.296/.304 over 403 plate appearances with the Guards this season. Seemingly a breakout rookie with Colorado in 2023, Jones has fallen back to earth since a .218/.307/.311 slash line in an even 700 PA since the start of the 2024 campaign. Despite these numbers, Jones was still getting semi-regular playing time in the Guardians lineup, mostly working in a timeshare capacity in center and right field. Since is the only cornerstone piece of Clevelands ever-shifting outfield, the Guards can juggle any number of players around to pick up at-bats over the seasons final nine games. Losing Jones does remove one le s option for what will be a busy day for the roster, as the Guardians play a doubleheader against Minnesota. As such, the door could be open for Halpin to receive the first Major League playing time of his pro career. A third-round pick for Cleveland in the 2020 draft, Halpin was added to the 40-man roster last November in advance of the Rule 5 Draft. Halpin was promoted to Triple-A for the first time this year, and has hit .249/.321/.414 over 553 PA in Columbus, with 14 homers and 15 steals (in 18 attempts). Baseball America ranks Halpin 24th on their list of the top 30 Guardians prospects, describing him as at least a solid fourth outfielder type due to his speed and excellent defense. It remains to be seen whether he can hit enough to gain any kind of regular playing time in the bigs, as Halpin hasnt shown much in the power department. Known as a contact hitter, his strikeout rate ballooned to 28.2% in Columbus, so Halpin will need to be much more selective if he is to have any chance against Major League pitchers.

                <description><![CDATA[ 1:07pm: The Orioles have announced the selection of  Princely Umanmielen Jersey  Nittolis contract. In corresponding moves, left-hander was optioned to Triple-A and Coulombe was transferred to the 60-day IL. 8:45am: The Orioles are selecting the contract of right-hander , as reported this morning. The righty signed with the club on a earlier this month. The club will need to make a corresponding 40-man move in order to add Nittoli to the roster, though that could be accomplished by transferring lefty to the 60-day injured list. Nittoli, 33, was a 25th-round pick by the Mariners back in 2014 and has spent his decade in profe sional baseball largely as a minor league journeyman. After spending a few years in Seattles minor league system, Nittoli departed affiliated ball in 2017 and spent two years pitching in the independent American A sociation before catching back on in the minors. Over the course of his profe sional career, hes suited up for the Mariners, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, Mets, As, and now the Orioles at the Triple-A level. In all that time, however, hes received only scattered playing time in the majors with 13 big league appearances to his name. More than half of those appearances came with the As earlier this season. He pitched eight innings of work in total with Oakland, and performed to a strong 2.25 ERA with five strikeouts against two walks. The righty has actually received similarly brief cups of coffee in the major leagues in each of the last four seasons, having first made his big league debut with the Mariners back in 2021. In all, Nittoli sports a 3.07 ERA despite a lackluster 5.02 FIP and a strikeout rate of just 16.4% in 14 2/3 innings of work at the big league level. Despite those relatively pedestrian numbers at the big league level, it isnt hard to see why the Orioles would be interested in giving Nittoli a look at the big league level. Hes been nothing short of dominant at the Triple-A level this year with a 2.73 ERA in 26 1/3 innings of work split between the affiliates of Oakland and Baltimore. That already impre sive figure is made all the more intriguing by the fact that the majority of those innings came in the inflated offensive environment of the Pacific Coast League, where the Athletics affiliate in Las Vegas plays. Nittoli has paired those strong run prevention numbers with an eye-popping 36% strikeout rate at the level this year, suggesting that there could be a meaningful improvement in skills to go along with the results. Altogether, Nittolis resume is interesting enough for the Orioles to give him a shot in their bullpen mix. The clubs relief corps has been more or le s league average this year, rankings 14th in baseball with a 3.84 ERA, but theres certainly room for improvement ahead of the clubs back-end duo of and , particularly after Coulombe underwent surgery last month. Right-hander , for example, can be optioned to the minors and has struggled to a 5.14 ERA and 4.38 FIP in 14 innings of work with the club.  Brett DioGuardi Jersey  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 2:55pm : The Pirates have now made it official and announced the corresponding moves. Right-hander has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 3, with a right lat muscle injury. To open a 40-man spot, lefty has been transferred to the 60-day IL. Borucki has already been on the IL  Fernando Mendoza Jersey  for 60 days, landing there April 6 due to left triceps inflammation. He is eligible to be reinstated at any time but he has not yet begun a rehab a signment. 1:25pm : The Pirates are going to sign left-hander to a major league deal this afternoon, reports Alex Stumpf of MLB.com . They will need to make a corresponding move or moves to get him onto their 40-man and active rosters. The lefty signed a minor league deal with the Reds in the offseason but was released earlier this week,per his at MLB.com. Speculatively speaking, its po sible he had some kind of opt-out in his contract because his results have been pretty good so far this year. Bruihl, 27 later this month, had been with Triple-A Louisville until recently. He threw 23 1/3 innings over 19 appearances for that club, allowing 2.31 earned runs per nine frames. His 10.3% walk rate in that time was a tad on the high side but he also struck out 24.7% of batters faced while getting grounders on 53.4% of balls in play. That wasnt enough to get him onto the big league roster in Cincinnati but the Pirates will bring him back to the majors. Bruihl had some good results for the Dodgers a couple of years ago but struggled last season. He had an ERA of 2.89 with Los Angeles in 2021 and then 3.80 the year after, but had some rough outings in 2023 and got flipped to the Rockies in a cash deal. He had a 5.46 ERA last year between those two clubs and was outrighted by Colorado. He reached free agency at seasons end, which led to his minors deal with the Reds and he seems to have bounced back enough this year to have caught Pittsburghs attention. Hes generally been more of a ground ball guy in the majors, striking out just 15.6% of batters faced but keeping the ball on the ground 45.5% of the time. The Bucs currently have as the only lefty in their big league bullpen, so Bruihl will give them a second southpaw in the relief mix. Bruihl still has one option year remaining, giving the clubs the flexibility to send him to the minors in the future without exposing him to waivers. If he manages to hang onto his 40-man spot, the Bucs can keep him around for a long time. He came into 2024 with one year and 39 days of service time, 133 days short of the two-year mark. Since more than two months of the season have already pa sed, he doesnt have enough days to get to that two-year line this year.  Sean Cuono Jersey  ]]></description>

So after Jordan won two in a row, Barkley was elected MVP for the 1992-93 campaign. And after Jordan won the 1995-96 MVP in his first full season back from his baseball foray, Malone was selected the following year. In retrospect, Jordan did not win those additional two MVPs because 1) a ho-hum, he is just historically great again mentality pervaded, and 2) voters tend to love narrative and grow bored with repetition.

                <description><![CDATA[ With the regular season winding down, a number of teams (and their fanbases) are already starting to turn their attention towards the offseason. Identifying free agent targets is a big  Wilt Chamberlain Jersey  part of that prep work, so its worth taking an early look at the players wholl be available on the open market. As we continue around the diamond, well finish up the infield at its most demanding position. Its an exceptionally thin group, a marked contrast to the star-studded cla ses of the last two offseasons. There have been eight nine-figure deals for shortstops since 2021 (not including the contract for , who stayed at second base despite shortstop interest). Not only will no one in this years group approach that range, there arent many candidates for a multi-year contract of any sort. Note: only players who have been on an MLB roster in 2023 are included. Ages listed are for the 2024 season . Potential Everyday Options (28) Rosario has been a shortstop for the bulk of his career, but the Dodgers have played him more frequently at second base since adding him at the deadline. One of the youngest players in the entire free agent cla s, Rosario hits the market coming off a down year. He was a roughly league average hitter from 2021-22 but has slumped to a .259/.300/.374 line over 520 plate appearances. Hes hitting for more power in Los Angeles than he had with the Guardians largely because the Dodgers have more selectively deployed him in favorable platoon situations but has reached base at just a .278 clip with L.A. The righty-swinging Rosario has performed well against left-handed pitching throughout his career. Hes a well below-average offensive player versus righties. Some teams may prefer to keep him in more of a short side platoon role, but the middle infield cla s is weak enough that he figures to land an everyday job somewhere. That may be better suited at second base. Rosario has gotten serviceable grades from public defensive marks in a minute sample of 162 innings at the keystone. His much-longer track record at shortstop isnt as rosy. Both Defensive Runs Saved and Statcasts Outs Above Average have pegged him as a below-average defender throughout his nearly 7000 career innings at the position. The numbers are particularly poor this year, as hes rated anywhere between 10 and 16 runs below par by those metrics. His raw error count is 10th-highest at the position. (32) Its admittedly a stretch to consider Urshela a po sible everyday player at shortstop. Hes soon to turn 32, has been a third baseman for the bulk of his career, and suffered a season-ending pelvis fracture in June. If hes going to play regularly at any one spot next year, its likelier to be on the corner infield. Urshela is one of the more well-rounded players among potential shortstop options, though. He has been an above-average hitter as recently as 2022, when he posted a .285/.338/.429 line for the Yankees. His power disappeared in his limited run with the Angels, but he hit .299 and got on base at a .329 clip in 62 games. He makes plenty of contact and typically hits for high enough averages to post solid on-base marks without drawing many walks. In a typical offseason, he probably wouldnt be a viable shortstop target. Perhaps the scarcity of other options this winter makes that a more realistic po sibility. Utility Options (32) Hernndez got a shot as the Red Sox starting shortstop to begin the season. Hed never really had consistent run at the position before. The Sox gambled on Hernndezs plus defensive marks at other key positions translating, but the experiment didnt work out. Hes tied for fourth with 14 errors at shortstop, and the three players with higher totals have nearly or more than double the innings. Defensive Runs Saved and Outs Above Average werent much kinder. As a result, the Sox began to move Hernndez back to his customary utility role which has continued since a deadline trade to the Dodgers. He can still handle shortstop on occasion but seems better suited for second base or center field. Hes also amidst a second straight well below-average offensive season, hitting .236/.294/.353 over 469 plate appearances. Things have turned around since the trade. After posting a .222/.279/.320 line in Boston, he owns a .267/.329/.427 slash through 146 plate appearances in L.A. Hell likely land another guaranteed deal but seems hard-pre sed to match the $10MM salary he received from the Red Sox last September. (29) Kiner-Falefa has started just one game at shortstop for the Yankees this season, logging the rest of his at-bats over the three outfield positions and at the hot corner. He topped 1000 shortstop innings in both 2021 and 22, though, drawing decent enough defensive grades that teams could consider moving him back there considering the shallowne s of the cla s overall. The righty-hitting Kiner-Falefa is a middling offensive player. He puts the ball in play without much impact and runs below-average walk totals. Hes a contact-hitting utility option who owns a .253/.312/.333 mark since landing in New York alongside shortly after the lockout. (34) Wendle has bounced around the infield throughout his career, seeing the bulk of his time between second and third base. The Marlins pushed him up the defensive spectrum as part of their effort to improve the offense out of the infield. Wendle has logged a career-high 708 1/3 innings at the position, a rare gambit for a player in his age-33 season. Defensive metrics have rated him as a fine option, ranging from slightly below-par (-2 runs per Statcast) to a bit above average (+5 DRS). While he has acquitted himself well enough with the glove, Wendle hasnt hit at all. He owns a .222/.257/.323 line with just two homers over 299 trips to the plate. Hes hitting just .243/.279/.343 in 204 games since being dealt from the Rays to the Marlins over the 2021-22 offseason. Rebound Fliers (28) Its increasingly hard to envision Mondesi playing at all this season. He has encountered repeated setbacks since tearing the ACL in his left knee while playing for the Royals in April 2022. The former top prospect has shown elite speed and promising switch-hitting power potential at times, but injuries have kept him from topping 500+ MLB plate appearances in a season. He has only surpa sed the 300-PA mark once. Even when healthy, Mondesis tantalizing physical tools have been undercut by an overaggre sive approach that has led to a meager .280 career on-base percentage. (30) DeJong had started the season reasonably well for the Cardinals, at least showing some power that had disappeared during his 2020-22 struggles. As the year has gone on, his production has plummeted. DeJong owned a .233/.297/.412 line at the deadline, when he was flipped from St. Louis to Toronto. Hes hitting .133/.132/.189 with 34 strikeouts and no walks in 91 plate appearances since then. He was released by the Jays within a few weeks and hasnt fared better since catching on with the Giants. DeJong is still a good defender, but he owns a .200/.273/.351 slash in nearly 1200 plate appearances over the last four years. Glove-First Veteran Depth (34) Ahmed was recently released by the Diamondbacks after a 10-year run in the desert. One of the sports best defenders at his peak, he secured two Gold Gloves and tallied double-digit home run totals in 2018-19. Ahmed has never been a good hitter, but he was sufficiently productive at the dish to serve as a fine bottom-of-the-lineup regular when paired with his elite glove. The offense has collapsed over the past three seasons, though, as hes hitting .219/.272/.336 since the start of 2021. He lost most of last year to a shoulder injury that required surgery and posted a .212/.257/.303 slash before being let go this summer. Ahmed can still defend at a high level, but hell probably have to move into a utility role at this point of his career. (35) Andrus has gotten into 101 games for the White Sox this season. Hes hitting .254/.312/.353 with five longballs acro s 363 plate appearances. Thats more in line with the numbers he posted from 2018-21, making last years 17-homer showing look like a blip. Andrus is still a good baserunner and can play either middle infield spot, but hes better suited for a utility role than regular playing time at this stage of his career. (37) Crawford is struggling through the worst season of his 13-year MLB career. The three-time All-Star owns a .199/.272/.316 slash with six homers over 299 trips to the plate. He is striking out at a personal-high 25.4% clip and has gone on the injured list three times once each for a right calf, left knee and left arm i sue. Public metrics are divided on how effective the four-time Gold Glove winner remains on the other side of the ball. Statcast still gives him a slightly positive grade, while Defensive Runs Saved pegs him as one of the worst shortstops in the league this year. Crawford had an unexpected resurgence two years ago to secure a fourth-place finish in NL MVP balloting at age 34. He hasnt maintained that pace, hitting .218/.294/.333 going back to the start of 2022. Minor League Depth (34) Adrianza has been out since May with elbow and shoulder injuries. The switch-hitting utility infielder has gotten into only five games for the Braves this year. Adrianza is a glove-only depth option who has appeared in parts of 11 big league campaigns. (30) Camargo played in eight games for the Giants, starting four at shortstop. Hes better suited for third or second base. A .219/.272/.344 hitter since the start of 2019, he has bounced around Triple-A for the bulk of 2023. Camargo hit .250/.335/.429 in the upper minors between three teams affiliates. (32) Owings got into 11 games for the Pirates, including seven starts at shortstop. Its his 11th straight season logging some amount of MLB action. He has spent the majority of the year in Triple-A, putting up a .235/.341/.442 line with 14 homers in 80 contests. Player Options (31) We dont need to spend much time on this one. Bez has hit .229/.271/.356 in a little under 1100 plate appearances as a Tiger. Hes not opting out the final four years and $98MM remaining on his six-year free agent contract. Club Options (31) This will be one of the more interesting option decisions of the winter. The White Sox can keep Anderson around for $14MM or buy him out at $1MM, leaving them with a $13MM call. Six months ago, that seemed a rubber stamp. While Anderson was coming off an injury-plagued second half, hed hit .301 and secured his second straight All-Star selection a season ago. Yet in a season full of underwhelming performances for the White Sox, the extent of Andersons drop-off is still surprising. The former batting champ owns a .240/.284/.294 line and has managed just one home run in 475 plate appearances. Its well off the .288/.316/.442 career mark he carried into the year. Anderson just turned 30 in June, so its hard to see this as age-related decline. Yet hes hitting ground-balls at an enormous 62.5% rate and striking out at a 23.4% clip thats his highest since 2018. Paired with defensive marks ranging anywhere from mediocre (-1 runs per Statcast) to disastrous (-16 DRS), it has been a sub-replacement level showing. New GM Chris Getz now has a surprisingly tough call to make. If the Sox part with Anderson, hed probably jump to the top of this cla s. Still, a $13MM decision is a not insignificant sum to wager on a rebound from an unexpectedly poor season. Previous installments: , , ,  John Hadl Jersey  ]]></description>
