ARGOMENTO: Green Bay Packers Elite Jerseys

NEW YORK (AP) — Troy Tulowitzki would be happy if the New York Yankees add Manny Machado to their infield Deion Sanders Jersey , even if the move costs the 34-year-old shortstop playing time.“Hey, I signed up to be a Yankee because I wanted to play with the best players,” Tulowitzki said during a conference call Monday. “So if Manny is one of those guys, then I think that would be awesome. It would make the team that much stronger.”If Machado signs with the Yankees as a high-priced free agent, he presumably would take over at third base. Tulowitzki is projected to start in an infield with Miguel Andujar at third, Gleyber Torres at second and Luke Voit or Greg Bird at first. The Yankees needed a replacement for Didi Gregorius, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and is not expected back until June, July or August.When Gregorius returns, Tulowitzki might have a reduced role. If Machado and Gregorius are in the lineup, Tulowitzki might not get many at-bats.“A lot can happen in that time,” Tulowitzki said. “So when that time comes, we’ll deal with that.”Sidelined by heel injuries since July 2017, Tulowitzki agreed last week to a one-year contract with the Yankees for the major league minimum $555,000. That will be offset against the $20 million he is owed by Toronto, which released him last month. The Blue Jays also are responsible for $14 million in salary for 2020 plus a $4 million buyout of a 2021 team option.“They were kind of headed in a different direction than I wanted to go,” Tulowitzki said. “They were going to go young and commit to the young players.”A five-time All-Star, Tulowitzki has not played in the major leagues since July 2017. He started feeling problems with his heels around the time of his trade from Colorado to Toronto in July 2015 and spent last year recovering from April 2 surgery on both heels.“I think it did allow me to hit that refresh button with my body and really catch up in some areas where I was just taking the field and constantly not being able to be myself and be confident in my body at times,” he said.He doesn’t think he was full fit until October.“I started to say, oh http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-julio-teheran-jersey , man, I’m feeling a lot better and excited about the upcoming year,” he said.Tulowitzki topped .300 or better four times from 2010-14 and 90 RBIs from 2009-11, boosted by hitter-friendly Coors Field.“There’s some extra motivation, definitely, with what I’ve been through. I think a lot of people have written me off and said that at times maybe I’m done,” he said. “There’s no doubt about it, there’s a chip on my shoulder but I would say my whole career I’ve kind of played that way and been that type of personality.”He idolized Derek Jeter growing up, even wearing the No. 2 of the retired Yankees captain. He also emulated Cal Ripken Jr. and Nomar Garciaparra.“The first thing that I think about when I think about Derek is his presence on and off the field,” Tulowitzki said. “I definitely saw that from afar as a young kid and tried to do those same things … and then when he did have all the success, too, he didn’t let it get to his head.”Notes: New York agreed to a minor league contract with 29-year-old switch-hitting outfielder Billy Burns, who will report to big league spring training. The speedster hit .255 last year in 102 games for Triple-A Omaha with nine doubles, four homers, 10 steals and 36 RBIs. He has a .270 average with 55 RBIs in 242 big league games over four seasons. ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Dee Gordon did a happy dance while sitting on the warning track, and the display that was at least nine months in the making inspired an ear-to-ear grin long after it happened.Gordon not only robbed Mike Trout of extra bases in center field during the fourth inning Friday, he delivered some insurance runs with a two-run single in the seventh during the Seattle Mariners‘ 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.Asked if the two-run single or the catch made his day, Gordon answered “the catch Greg Maddux Jersey ,” as if he anticipated the question.“That was pretty cool; that was like the first one in my life,” said Gordon, who insisted his glove was over the wall, robbing Trout of his 34th home run. “I was happy.”The catch, by a player who has primarily been a middle infielder, ended up preserving a shutout that was fashioned by six relief pitchers. The bullpen day was needed to fill in for scheduled starter James Paxton, who is dealing with a bout of pneumonia.Roenis Elias gave up just one hit over 3 2/3 innings as the starter. Adam Warren (3-2) got four outs and Shawn Armstrong, Nick Vincent, Zach Duke and Ryan Cook each pitched an inning.Making just his third start of the season and first since Aug. 19, Elias struck out four and walked two while throwing 58 pitches. In seven previous innings against the Angels this season, Elias had given up one run on six hits with three strikeouts, all in relief.Elias said he found out he was starting at around before noon Friday.“They didn’t give me a lot of time but I was ready because I knew something could happen,” Elias said through an interpreter.The Mariners went ahead to stay against Matt Shoemaker in the fourth inning. Robinson Cano singled in Mitch Haniger for his 13th RBI in 27 games since being reinstated from an 80-game drug suspension.With two out and runners on second and third, Ryon Healy made it 3-0 with a ground ball into left field.That early Mariners momentum was preserved when Gordon made the kind of catch he had been dreading when he worked on his outfield play in the offseason. Knowing he might play some outfield this season, Gordon worked briefly on catches against a chain-link fence, but quickly abandoned the workouts.His dance after making the catch, then, was a combination of relief and a sense accomplishment.“He likes to celebrate and he is the king of celebration,” Mariners manager Scott Servias said. “I think it’s great. He does enjoy it and he should. It’s a hard game and when something goes your way http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-david-justice-jersey , or you make a great play, you have to have fun with it.”The Mariners have won the first two games of the series to improve to 10-7 against Angels, clinching the season series. The Mariners won consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 24-25.ALL GOOD FOR SHOEMAKERIn his third start since coming off the disabled list after being sidelined by a right forearm strain, Shoemaker (2-1) went 4 2/3 innings. He threw just 77 pitches as the Angels try to limit his usage.The right-hander was visited by manager Mike Scioscia and a member of the Angels medical staff in the fifth inning, but remained in the game. In 14 2/3 innings since returning from the DL, Shoemaker has a 3.68 ERA.“Everything is all good,” Shoemaker said. “I think probably just in that fourth inning, I haven’t had a long inning like that in a long time, so I was a little tired going out to the fifth. After the first hitter, it wore off, the adrenaline kicked in and I got back into rhythm.”ANGELS IN SUMMARYTrout was named team MVP, and left-hander Andrew Heaney received the Nick Adenhart Award winner for excellence both off the field and on the mound. Adenhart was an Angels rookie pitcher in 2009 when he was killed in a car crash following his first start of the season.The Angels also announced Friday they have surpassed the 3 million mark in tickets sold, reaching the milestone for the 16th consecutive season.TRAINER’S ROOMMariners: SS Jean Segura returned to the starting lineup after missing three games with a virus. … OF Cameron Maybin is with the team but remains out of action with an unspecified illness. … Paxton is expected to rejoin the team in a few days. … RHP Felix Hernandez (hamstring) is expected to return to the rotation before the end of the season.Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs (left adductor strain) will rejoin the Angels on Saturday, when he will be evaluated to see if he can return to the rotation next week.UP NEXTMariners RHP Erasmo Ramirez (2-3, 5.31 ERA) and Heaney (9-9, 3.98 ERA) pitch on Saturday. Ramirez is 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA in six starts since coming off the disabled list after being sidelined by a strained right shoulder. Heaney struck out a career-high 12 in seven scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory against the Chicago White Sox last Sunday.
