Orioles reliever Mike Baumann is 8-0 this year. What’s the record for most wins by a reliever without a loss

#

Having already paid a significant price for one of the game’s hardest throwers, the Blue Jays have hunting for an offensive piece to augment a group that feels one bat light.

#

Anderson, who comes with a $14-million club option for next year, isn’t the only short-term option available. St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is another option – he comes with club options of $12.5 million for 2024 and $15 million for 2025 – and intriguingly, Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said during the talks about Hicks, “we did exchange bigger concepts and talked about several of their players – that's usually the case.”

Whether that’s DeJong or other potential fits like outfielders Tyler O’Neill or Dylan Carlson wasn’t immediately clear, but it’s pretty clear the Blue Jays need to keep bolstering the roster to fully leverage the group currently in place.

Friends…and FIERCE competitors. We asked Toronto Blue Jays teammates Kevin Gausman and Brandon Belt how they would do against each other. Would Belt connect with the heat, or would Gausman paint a picture of his own using his signature splitter? Listen to their answers in Paint the Picture presented by Home Hardware.

-He doesn't know who they're targeting

-Mentions Pham/Canha as making sense, but he doesn't know who they're zoning in on

-They want a RHB

-He'd be surprised if they didn't add a bat

-Maybe you have to get a bit creative with the RHB

-Mentions Tommy Edman as an ideal fit

-You're upgrading over Luplow/Espinal for the RHB

Of course, there’s still more work to do for the Blue Jays. Beyond the pitching staff there’s a clear need for another bat before 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday...outfielders Tommy Pham and Mark Canha are considered available, as are Brent Rooker and perhaps Teoscar Hernandez.

Matt Eberflus: Justin Fields, Bears starters will get ‘some time’ in preseason opener

#

According to a report from the Des Moines Register, Uwazurike faces a complaint from Story County, Iowa authorities of tampering with records and placing bets on two games in which he played at Iowa State in 2021.

According to Story County authorities in the Register report, Uwazurike is alleged to have bet on the Cyclones’ contests with Iowa and Kansas. Further, according to the Register, “The criminal complaint alleges he placed 32 wagers on Broncos games and players.”

Uwazurike is one of four current or former ISU athletes accused by Story County authorities in this probe. One of the others is the Cyclones’ starting quarterback, Hunter Dekker.

The criminal complaint says Uwazurike and the three others hid their identities “with the intent to deceive or conceal a wrongdoing.”

#

A FanDuel bettor on an account controlled by Uwazurike placed 32 wagers on Broncos events and individual Broncos' players, according to the Iowa complaint. The bettor placed more than 800 wagers on the account utilizing the name Rachel Francis.

The Astros were very reticent to part with Ryan Clifford, and it's easy to see why: He's already raking at High-A after going to them in the 11th round last year. Just turned 20 within the last two weeks. A number of evaluators see him as a superior prospect to Drew Gilbert.

The same four clubs are engaged on other rotation options; there likely will come a point today when Verlander suitors pivot and find their pitching elsewhere.

Things have cooled on the Tim Anderson front. Barring a last-minute change, he's likely staying in Chicago

#

In theory, that could have included discussions about Paul DeJong or even Tommy Edman, both of whom have spent significant time at shortstop this year. Those are names to revisit Tuesday if Bichette’s likely to miss time

#

The Cardinals’ Paul DeJong and White Sox’s Tim Anderson are among the shortstops available, and the Jays might need to act quickly to grab one of them

Trask is winning the Bucs’ QB competition

#

I understand the Bucs are back to being irrelevant with Brady gone, and for good reason. The team won’t be good this year.

However, I feel duty bound to let you know that Mayfield is not running away with this QB competition like it seems literally everyone is assuming. All reports from local reporters is that Mayfield cannot stop turning the ball over and is worse for new OC Dave Canales’ scheme overall while Trask looks more mobile and is taking care of the ball.

Still early in camp of course, but I’ve seen people on here (and even national reporters who clearly aren’t actually following along) say it’s not even a competition for Mayfield when that’s clearly not the case if you’re paying attention.

In the XFL, the kick happens at the 30 yard line. Other than the kicker, the players on the kicking team are aligned at the receiving team’s 35 yard line. Ten of the receiving team’s players are positioned five yards away. Only the kicker and the returner may move before the ball is touched by the player fielding the kick.

The NFL is exploring XFL data regarding the play. The overriding goal is to reduce the potential for concussions (serious neck injuries are a less-publicized concern) by shrinking the distance between opposing players. The XFL rule leaves only five yards of space for players to cover before contact, keeping them from getting to top speed.

Switching to the XFL approach wouldn’t be an easy sell. One source with extensive knowledge and experience coaching special teams predicts it will be an “ugly play,” with the kick returner getting “crushed.”

“They have no idea how much different NFL players are,” the source said. “There will literally be nowhere to run.”

enry Ruggs sentencing hearing is in 1 week: face 3-10 years in prison

Aaron Rodgers on his $35 million pay cut: "A win-win-win for everybody. A win for me — I get paid a ton of money. A win for the team — we get a low cap number and deferred some cash. A win for other guys that we can bring in and sign. I have no complaints. I’m not missing it at all.”

#

"This is going to be a few-years partnership," Rodgers said Tuesday, explaining his rationale for taking a historic $35 million pay cut in a newly restructured contract.

He wants the team to remain competitive in the future because he doesn't expect to be a one-and-done player for the Jets.

"I want to play a few more years, and it'll be five after that," said the four-time NFL MVP, alluding to the mandatory waiting period for eligibility. "Who knows what's going to happen in eight or nine years? That's a long way off." Rodgers also said, "I'm taking it one year at a time. Yeah, I'd love to play as long as I can, as long as it's fun, as long as my body feels good, as long as they want me."

Joe Mixon on taking a pay cut: “I see the task at hand and what we’re trying to build and in order to keep other players here and pieces here, sometimes you have to sacrifice. I felt like this year was the year to sacrifice on the Super Bowl team we can potentially be.”

The 2013 Jets had a bizarre mix of players who were on the roster at one point

#

David Garrard and Brady Quinn were QB3 at different points in the season.

David Nelson, Kellen Winslow II, Ed Reed, Josh Cribbs, Darius Reynaud and Billy Cundiff.

I completely blanked on any of these players (minus Winslow and Reed) being a Jet during their career

Traded to the Angels in 2014 (from the Red Sox) -- pitched in just two games before being DFA'd.

Signed as a free agent with the A's in late 2015 and spent most of 2016 with them before being traded to the dodgers.

Pitched for the dodgers for the remainder of 2016 and then signed a 3-year contract and stayed with them through 2019.

Traded to the Dads (from the Pirates) yesterday.

POSITION PLAYER PITCHING ALERT: C Luke Maile (CIN) vs CHC in the Bottom of the 8th

#

Reds currently down 14 15 16 - 6

#

With the Royals' 4-0 win over the Mets, they currently own the longest winning streak in the MLB

#

The Royals have won their last 5 games after not having a winning streak of 3 games before this.

Watch out, everyone. The Royals are back to ruining baseball.

#

Minnesota’s Joe Ryan had a 2.77 ERA in his first 11 starts and now has a 6.20 ERA in his last 11 starts

#

Following another dud today, Ryan’s season looks like this:

Joe Ryan’s First 11 GS
65.0 IP, 52 H, 22 R, 20 ER, 13 BB, 76 K, 6 HR (2.77 ERA)

Joe Ryan’s Last 11 GS
61.0 IP, 66 H, 42 R, 42 ER, 12 BB, 76 K, 19 HR (6.20 ERA)

It’s impressive how similar all the numbers are in both halves except for the home runs (and therefore the runs).

Why Detroit Tigers' Scott Harris failed MLB trade deadline test

#

Saitama Seibu Lions super submariner Kaito Yoza tossed a complete game shutout this morning. Final Line 9.0 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 4 K, 104 P. He nearly Buehrle'd it too. The game finished in 2 hours and 9 minutes

#

Every Atlanta Braves lineup regular now has at least 10 homeruns or more. 5 of them have 20 or more

#

With my good personal friend Michael Harris cranking out two last night that puts him at 11, tied with Arcia who also went deep last night.

Our back up catcher lil' D has 9 and will probably go deep today to get there as well if I had to bet on it.

They have 203 homeruns in 105 games good for 1.9 homers a game. The 2019 Twins hit 307 in 162 for a 1.89 a game pace, so it'll be close, but the Braves have a good chance at breaking that if their current pace holds up.

#

But though they discussed names such as Teoscar Hernandez (talks didn’t get serious, according to a source), Mark Canha (the Mets evidently preferred the Brewers’ offer) and Randal Grichuk (perhaps an awkward fit) the Blue Jays were never especially close to making another major deal

#

he Jays have 54 games left. 23 of those games vs the AL East. I think it’s safe to say that’ll determine whether or not they make the playoffs this year
