Yankees give Red Sox fans another reminder of blundered blockbuster trade

Image
  The New York Yankees got player Jeter Downs from the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. This move lets Downs, who is 25 years old, join the Yankees. He's now the second player named "Jeter" to play for the Yankees. This also reminds the Boston Red Sox about a big mistake they made when they traded away a player named Mookie Betts a few years ago. By trading for Alex Verdugo and claiming Jeter Downs off waivers, the Yankees now have 2/3 of the Red Sox' haul from the Mookie Betts trade. They just have to figure out how to acquire Connor Wong and they'll have the whole set. — Benjamin Hoffman (@BenHoffmanNYT) December 19, 2023 Benjamin Hoffman, a sports editor at the New York Times, pointed out that the Yankees now have two out of the three players the Red Sox got from the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. In that big trade, the Dodgers sent Betts, a great player named David Price, and some money to the Red Sox. Before this, the Red Sox had already sent another player, A...

Marcell Ozuna's Braves Contract Extension Desire: A Win-Win Situation

Image
Marcell Ozuna expresses his loyalty to the Braves, hinting at a desire for a contract extension. His stellar performance on the field, leading the National League in homers, coupled with his comfort within the organization, makes a compelling case for a longer commitment. Despite past challenges, including off-field issues and a slow start to his contract, Ozuna's recent success positions him as a key asset for Atlanta's future. Meanwhile, in the NL East, the Phillies face a pleasant pitching surplus with Taijuan Walker's impending return. Spencer Turnbull's impressive performance during Walker's absence adds depth to the rotation, presenting a strategic dilemma for the team. Additionally, Mets' injury updates highlight the potential return of Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill, offering hope for bolstering their pitching staff during a crucial stretch of the season. Looking ahead, prospects like Cade Cavalli's recovery from Tommy John surgery offer optimism for t...

Royals settle contract without going to arbitration with their top draft choice.

Image
  The Royals said on Tuesday they made a deal with pitcher Kris Bubic to avoid arbitration. Anne Rogers from MLB.com reported that Bubic will earn $2.35 million next year. This is a little less than the $2.4 million estimated by MLBTR's Matt Swartz. Bubic, who is 26 years old, was picked as the 40th player in the 2018 draft. This draft was important for the team. The Royals had five picks in the top 58 and chose five pitchers: Brady Singer, Jackson Kowar, Daniel Lynch IV, Bubic, and Jonathan Bowlan. However, not all of these picks have turned out as expected, which has made it hard for the team to get better after rebuilding. In 2022, Bubic ended the season with an earned run average (ERA) of 4.89. By then, he had played 309 innings in major league games. He started 2023 showing some improvements but had to have surgery in April. He will likely start the 2024 season on the injured list but might be back by the middle of the season. People are still debating about how good Bubic...
