Angels’ Mike Trout Says MLB Asks Him to Participate in HR Derby ‘Every Year’

by

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout has never competed in the Home Run Derby, but Major League Baseball isn’t going to give up on him.

As he explained Thursday, the league continually tries to get him to participate in the contest.

“Every year. Every year they ask me,” nike nfl jersey Trout said, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.

The outfielder has been one of the best hitters in baseball every year since his rookie season in 2012, finishing in the top four of the American League MVP voting all seven seasons and winning the prestigious award twice.hi-res-d22cd8c881ccf9604f940fa64312e178_crop_north

He has displayed impressive power during this stretch by hitting at least 25 home runs every year.nfl jerseys on sale

Trout already has 22 homers in 2019 and entered Thursday tied for third in the American League. There is no denying he would have the ability to succeed in a contest like this one.

Despite his ability, fans around the country haven’t received many chances to see the superstar in action. Between late-night games and the fact the Angels have only made one playoff appearance in his career—a three-game sweep at wholesale nfl jersey  the hands of the Kansas City Royals in the first round of the 2014 postseason—Trout’s time in the spotlight has been limited.

Competing in this event would put him on a bigger stage for a rare moment in his career.where to buy nfl jerseys

“Maybe one year I’ll say to myself, ‘Hey, let’s do it,'” he said Thursday. “I’m womens nfl jerseys cheap obviously a big fan of watching it. It’s just what it is. I enjoyed watching it as a kid, thought it was cool. I just never really wanted to do it.”

While no one wants him to get hurt or ruin his swing, personalized nfl jerseys virtually all fans would love to see him compete in this exciting event at least once.

Dustin May, RHP, Los Angeles Dodgers

It’s looking like the Los Angeles Dodgers will end up winning their seventh straight NL West title. But after losing the World Series in 2017 and 2018, they’re aware that they have unfinished business in October.nike nfl jersey

Hence president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman’s approach to the trade deadline. According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, his goal is to find “impact players.”personalized nfl jerseys cheap

The last time the Dodgers pursued such a player on the trade market, the Miami Marlins were asking for two of catcher Keibert Ruiz, infielder Gavin Lux and righty Dustin May for J.T. Realmuto, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.5a005ade183bcd47d5c4f1f3a560ca7b_crop_exact

The Dodgers may still hesitate to move any of the three, but it’s a safe guess that May is the most available of them. He doesn’t loom large in the team’s crowd of pitchers, and the disconnect between his great stuff (e.g., his fastball, curveball and cutter) and good-not-great results in the minors allows for some doubt.nike nfl jersey

In short, the 21-year-old may be just the guy to move for a replacement for injured starter Rich Hill, or perhaps for a much-needed late-inning reliever to help out veteran closer Kenley Jansen.

The Minnesota Twins have sat comfortably atop the American League Central all season, but injuries and performance issues have recently been killing their buzz.

Regarding the latter, nfl jerseys china cheap the Twins know that their bullpen needs a major piece. They went hard after Craig Kimbrel before he signed with the Chicago Cubs, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. He would have been an ideal upgrade over Blake Harper at closer.

The Twins presumably won’t move shortstop Royce Lewis or outfielder Alex Kirilloff. But whether it’s for a Kimbrel-esque reliever or something else, they may be amenable to trading right-hander Brusdar Graterol.nfl jerseys on sale

The 20-year-old Venezuela native boasts an impressive 2.51 ERA across four minor league seasons, as well as a 1.89 ERA for Double-A Pensacola this season. These numbers have mainly come courtesy of his spectacular fastball/slider combination.

The catch with Graterol is how much trouble he’s had staying healthy. He’s had Tommy John surgery, and he’s currently on the injured list now with a shoulder impingement. Instead of waiting on him, the Twins might dangle him as a high-risk, high-reward trade chip.wholesale nfl jersey
