Red Sox Adjusting To Cespedes Aggressive Approach - RealGM Wiretap
The Boston Red Sox are still making sense of how Yoenis Cespedes fits into their offense.


David Ortiz and Mike Napoli draw a lot of walks adidas superstar 2 černé , but Cespedes is much more aggressive while hitting in the middle of the two veterans.


"With it will come some quick outs, but at the same time the ability to impact the baseball is a result of the aggressiveness as well," John Farrell said of Cespedes' plate approach. "He hasn’€'t become more aggressive since coming over here. This is the player we were well aware of and pursued heavily. We're fully accepting of the style of player he is."


Since coming over from the Oakland Athletics, Cespedes has a .219.231.406 line with one walk and 11 strikeouts.


"He's been accustomed to hitting in the four hole. [We're trying] to transition him in here with as much comfort as possible. That doesn't mean that going forward there won't be an alignment that flips him and Napoli adidas superstar ii dámské ," Farrell said. "I'm not saying that's going to be tomorrow, but we'll take a look at every combination that's available to us."

Donovan Steven Gerrard Frank Lampard Misjudged MLS - RealGM Wiretap

Landon Donovan said Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard may have misjudged the difficulties of adapting to Major League Soccer.


Gerrard signed for Galaxy in an 18-month deal that started in July and Lampard agreed a two-year deal at NYC FC that began the same month.


Neither Gerrard or Lampard made as much of an impact as expected.


“They have been perceived well but it’s not easy," said Donovan. "Sometimes people have this impression that you can go there and it will be easy – people from the outside. The players will tell you ––and I think Steven has spoken about it openly – it’s quite difficult. Not because there is more quality from Liverpool but it’s difficult to travel and the pace of the game is fast.”


Donovan retired in December of 2014.


“The Premier League is probably the fastest in the world but the pace [in the US] is faster than you realise. There are a lot of different issues so I think both of them will come back next year and be more prepared and make a much bigger impact.”

Nationals Considered Favorites To Sign Bourn - RealGM Wiretap

The Braves will make a qualifying offer to Michael Bourn, but he is expected to sign a lucrative adidas superstar slip on cz , long-term deal with another franchise.


Baseball officials view the Nationals are the favorites to sign Bourn.


Washington has been interested in Bourn for quite some time. Bryce Harper did a nice job in center field this past season, but could be moved to a corner spot.


The Phillies could also be a strong suitor.

Phillies Considering Trade For Price - RealGM Wiretap

The Philadelphia Phillies will likely have to get creative if they are going to contend next season.


They have gone as far as to consider a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays for David Price, according to sources.


Philadelphia is unlikely to acquire Price, who is under contract for two more seasons adidas superstar černé , from Tampa Bay unless they part with top pitching prospect Jesse Biddle and perhaps even Domonic Brown as well.

Rob Manfred Unhappy With Length Of Games - RealGM Wiretap

Rob Manfred isn't happy that the average nine-inning game is up nearly seven minutes from this point last season.


"We think the single biggest thing we had going for us early in the year [last season] was player focus on the topic," Manfred said. "And we feel like we've lost a little focus. So we're doing a variety of things to try to get that focus back."


Through Monday, the average time of a nine-inning game this season was 3 hours, 26 seconds.


The commissioner said officials in the commissioner's office have reached out to the Major League Baseball Players Association to let the union know that they're "concerned" about this trend.
