Gildenbeschreibung » the bases loaded. But a baserunning gaffe by Chicag

With the MLB Off-Season underway, many teams are looking to upgrade, find replacements, and make major renovations to their clubs. TSN.ca looks at the days hottest off-season rumors and speculations. Jays in Love With the Casey Janssen era apparently over in Toronto, the blue birds are looking for a new hurler to take the ball in the ninth inning. An industry source told the New York Post that the Blue Jays are “in love” with former New York Yankees closer David Robertson, who may not return to New York with the emergence of flame-throwing Dellin Betances. Even if the attraction is there for Robertson, Toronto officials remain skeptical about the chance of acquiring the righty, while they have also shown interest in free-agent reliever Luke Gregerson. Robertson notched 39 saves while striking out 96 batters in 64.1 innings last season. Tu Trade him, or not Tu Trade him The Colorado Rockies are listening to inquiries for star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, though at this point there is reportedly nothing serious in the works. CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman reports Tulowitzki would potentially only accept a move to about six teams, which include the Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, San Francisco Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals. The 30-year old is coming off a couple of injury-plagued seasons and also holds a contract of $118 million-plus through 2020, which ultimately might scare off some teams not wanting to take on the contract while giving up a plethora of young talent. Tulowitzki hit 21 home runs and knocked in 52 while hitting an impressive .340 in 91 games last season. The Chase is on With Pablo Sandoval and Josh Donaldson recently moving to the American League East, another team within that division is reportedly hoping to retain the best third baseman currently on the market. The Yankees are hoping to re-sign Chase Headley, whom they acquired last season. While there is mutual interest among both parties, Jon Heyman suggests the Giants might be leading the chase for the 30-year old’s services as they are looking for a replacement for Sandoval. The Miami Marlins and Houston Astros have also inquired, but it looks like it has come down to the Yankees or Giants. Headley finished last season with a .243 average, 13 home runs and 49 RBIs between the San Diego Padres and the Yankees. Fake Shoes Australia .

The touted rookie from Cuba hit a game-winning grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning for his second home run of the night, rallying the Chicago White Sox past the Tampa Bay Rays 9-6 on Friday. Evan Longorias two-run homer in the top of the ninth put Tampa Bay ahead 6-4, but the White Sox werent done. Abreus drive off closer Grant Balfour (0-1) won it after Chicago pitchers combined for 11 walks. Abreu, who signed a $68 million, six-year contract in the off-season, finished with three hits and six RBIs. He became the first rookie in major league history to hit nine home runs by the end of April. "I really didnt have any expectations. As a matter of fact, I was talking to Albert Pujols during spring training and he told me, Hey, dont worry about hitting the home runs early in the season since its your first season and all that," Abreu said through a translator. "So I wasnt trying to hit them -- they have just happened." Balfour gave up a one-out double to Alejandro De Aza in the ninth, then walked Tyler Flowers and pinch-hitter Paul Konerko. As Konerko trotted to first, Balfour and Konerko exchanged words. "I dont know. I know his thing after every pitch, he comes way in. Likes to get the ball, likes to stare at you, stare at the hitter," Konerko said. "Thats fine, no big deal. You know thats what he likes to do. After I walked there, he is close to me, eye contact was made and I start to run down the line and I heard yelling. I dont know what he was yelling about. I was just trying to make sure it wasnt toward my direction. Thats really it. I think he was probably yelling at himself to get going or get better. When someone that close is yelling, you want to find out why." Balfour said he wasnt trying to show up Konerko. "Im angry at myself, so if he wants to yell at me, whatever. I wasnt yelling at him. I was frustrated by the fact I missed by 6 feet back there," Balfour said. "This is a frustrating night for me. I know Im better than that. So Ill come back tomorrow and turn the page. If I get an opportunity, go out there and get it done." Adam Eaton hit a grounder to second base, but Tampa Bay was unable to turn the double play after getting a force at second. Rays manager Joe Maddon challenged the call, but Eaton clearly beat the throw to first and the ruling was upheld on replay. Balfour walked Marcus Semien to load the basses again and Abreu drove an 0-1 pitch to right-centre for his ninth home run.dddddddddddd "Pretty impressive. Really a big, strong fella with a controlled attitude at the plate thats not a wild swinger. You have to make good pitches to him or hes going to hurt you like he did tonight," Maddon said. "Its not fun when that happens, but Im still going to go out for my Guinness tonight regardless." Matt Joyce drew his team-record fifth walk of the game leading off the ninth against White Sox reliever Matt Lindstrom (2-1). Longoria followed with his third home run of the season to centre to break a 4-all tie. Tyler Flowers had two hits and two RBIs for the White Sox in the opener of a four-game series. Chicago starter Erik Johnson couldnt get out of the second inning. The Rays tied a club mark by drawing 11 walks. Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer pitched six-plus innings. He allowed four runs and nine hits. With the Rays trailing 1-0 in the second, Yunel Escobar and Ryan Hanigan hit back-to-back RBI singles. Ben Zobrist followed with an RBI double. Johnson was chased after walking Joyce with the bases loaded on his 39th pitch of the inning, giving the Rays a 4-1 lead. The Rays batted around against Johnson in the second. Abreu hit a solo shot in the third and the White Sox tied it in the fourth when Flowers lined a two-run single with the bases loaded. But a baserunning gaffe by Chicago prevented a potentially bigger inning. Eaton grounded back to Archer, who caught De Aza between third and home. De Aza was eventually tagged out in a rundown, then Flowers was tagged out while trying to go to third. The Rays had the bases loaded with one out in the fifth, but Hanigan grounded into an inning-ending double play. "Its one of those games, if you permit it to fester, it will, and if you dont permit it, it wont," Maddon said. "So for me, its a loss and a loss is a loss is a loss. Of course, we really had a chance to win that game, but youve got to come and play tomorrow -- you dont get a week off." After missing five games with a mild left knee strain, Eaton led off the first inning with a single and stole second. He later scored on Abreus single. NOTES: Before the game, the White Sox claimed reliever Hector Noesi off waivers from Texas. He is expected to throw a bullpen before Saturdays game. ...
