Similar Stories to A’s Trade Norris For 2 Pitchers on Bing News

Oakland also received several pitchers in other recent deals, including starters Chris Bassitt, Kendall Graveman and Sean Nolin, and returning left-hander Drew Pomeranz pitched well in his stint in Oakland’s rotation last year. Someone such as Tampa Bay’s Ben Zobrist would check a lot of boxes for Oakland, and Washington shortstop Ian Desmond also has been the subject of trade rumors, though the A’s appear sold on recently acquired Marcus Semien at shortstop. Alvarez made 10 relief appearances with the Angels and had a 1.13 ERA and a .115 opponents average. In 119 1/3 career minor-league innings, he recorded 178 strikeouts and walked 51 Hahn, a starter, has a plus curveball and throws strikes; he had a 3.07 ERA in 14 games, 12 starts. Getting back two big-league-ready pitchers for a right-handed hitting platoon catcher is fairly unusual, especially given that Norris threw out only 8 of 68 runners last season. The A’s remain covered in the catching department, however, with Stephen Vogt (foot) and John Jaso (concussion) healthy, and Josh Phegley, acquired in the Jeff Samardzija deal last week, available as the right-handed hitter in a platoon. All four of the A’s 2014 All-Star position players — Norris, third baseman Josh Donaldson, outfielder Brandon Moss and outfielder Yoenis Céspedes are gone, along with starting pitchers Samardzija and Jon Lester, who represented the Cubs and Red Sox respectively in Minneapolis but finished last season with the A’s after trades. The Padres also received the A’s international bonus pool slot No.

Avalanche shows its championship DNA, offers Jets lessons to ponder for the future
Denver Post, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 08:48 PM
WINNIPEG — Rick Bowness invoked the wisdom from one of hockey’s most famous playoff tales Tuesday night. His Winnipeg Jets had just finished a season with 110 points — fourth-most in the NHL — but only one postseason victory after the Colorado Avalanche rolled past his club in five games during an opening-round series in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. “You get to this stage, at the end of a playoff series, if you’re not putting an ice bag on, you’re not playing hard enough,” Bowness said.

Denver Post, Tuesday - 04/30/2024 - 07:02 PM
The extra season of eligibility granted by the NCAA for the 2020-21 COVID season has unleashed a number of previously unforeseen opportunities upon the game of college basketball.
