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

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 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
