The MLB postseason is just getting started http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-christian-mccaffrey-jersey , but already the rumor mill is churning ahead of another busy offseason.This year's crop of free agents has been among the most anticipated in recent memory, with young superstars Bryce Harper and Manny Machado set to pursue record deals and a wealth of talent behind them in a deep market.Rumors and speculation will really start to fly once the World Series concludes, but already there are some interesting tidbits starting to trickle out.Ahead is a look at some of the latest rumors from around the league.Nationals Front Office to Meet with Scott Boras to Talk Bryce HarperBryce HarperPatrick Smith/Getty ImagesMaybe Bryce Harper's time with the Washington Nationals isn't finished just yet.Despite what appeared to be a goodbye message on Instagram following his final home game, the Nationals are still in the mix to re-sign their homegrown superstar.In fact, the front office might already be getting the ball rolling on a potential new deal."Two sources said over the weekend the front office, led by ownership, was making plans to meet with Harper and agent Scott Boras in Las Vegas before he hits the open market, though a third source said no meetings have been scheduled at this point," wrote Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports.Zuckerman went on to list the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees as likely suitors for Harper, while adding the San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves as others to watch.Given what we know about Boras and the type of money that will be in play here, it's unlikely that Harper is going to rush to make a decision.Still http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/baker-mayfield-jersey , it's noteworthy that the Nationals appear to be serious contenders to bring him back.Prediction:The meeting is just for both sides to touch base, and nothing will be decided until much later in the offseason.Andrew McCutchen More Than Just a Rental for the Yankees?Andrew McCutchenJim McIsaac/Getty ImagesThe Yankees acquired Andrew McCutchen in August due in large part to Aaron Judge being on the shelf with an injury.However, it's not out of the question to think the two sides could turn this into more than just a two-month pitstop."Andrew McCutchen is said to have loved his time around the Yankees, so perhaps they would consider bringing him back," wrote Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports.The Yankees hold a $12.5 million option on Brett Gardner that can be bought out for $2 million, and Heyman wrote that they will "surely turn down" the option.A healthy Clint Frazier would be in the mix for outfield playing time, but bringing back McCutchen to provide a veteran presence and top-of-the-order bat makes sense if the years and price is right.Prediction:McCutchen tests the waters, but eventually lands back with the Yankees on a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2020.Derek Dietrich to be Non-Tendered?Rich Schultz/Getty ImagesAccording to Barry Jackson of theMiami Herald,it appears "highly questionable" that the Miami Marlins will tender a contract to versatile veteran Derek Dietrich.That comes as something of a surprise given his strong production this past season.The 29-year-old posted a 112 OPS+ with 26 doubles, 16 home runs and 45 RBI in 551 plate appearances, and he's seen at least semi-regular time at first base, second base, third base and at both corner outfield spots over the past few seasons.He made just $2.9 million this season and will earn a slight raise in arbitration, and with team control through 2020, he looks more like an asset than a player to be cut loose.His defensive flexibility and reasonable price tag should give him plenty of suitors if he does hit the open market Authentic Baker Mayfield Jersey , as he'll likely come cheaper than guys like Asdrubal Cabrera and Eduardo Escobar who could be targeted for a similar role.Prediction:Dietrich is in fact tendered a contract, as even the cost-cutting Marlins see the value in his versatility.All stats courtesy of Baseball Reference and FanGraphs, unless otherwise noted. CHICAGO (AP) — Boston’s rotation woes continued. And the rebuilding Chicago White Sox took full advantage.James Shields threw six scoreless innings, Tim Anderson and Daniel Palka homered and the White Sox beat the major league-leading Red Sox 8-0 on Sunday to split their four-game series.Anderson had three hits — including two doubles — for the White Sox, who have won seven of their last 10 games.Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez had two hits apiece for Boston, which had won four of its last five.The Red Sox have the majors’ best record at 94-44 and maintained a 7½-game lead in the AL East over the New York Yankees, who lost to Detroit.With Chris Sale and David Price out with injuries, the Red Sox have just two quality starts in their last 17 games. Their starting pitchers combined to allow 12 earned runs in 14 innings in the series.“We’re going to be fine,” manager Alex Cora said. “When you start getting hurt, especially your main guys, it’s not easy to go out there with the guys that we’re throwing and keep throwing the ball well.“They did it for a month and a half right after the All-Star break. Now it’s not that way. I feel the healthier we get, the better it’s going to be.”Shields (6-15) struck out six and allowed four hits and two walks. He has thrown at least six innings in 21 of his last 25 starts. Three relievers completed the five-hitter.Five Red Sox pitchers combined to strike out 12 but gave up 15 hits.“We have the right guys in the bullpen to help us out as far as innings and all that, and I think it’s going to turn around because of that,” Cora said.Brian Johnson (4-4) allowed four runs and seven hits while recording four outs in his shortest start of the season.“I threw a lot of strikes, but they weren’t where I wanted them Greg Joseph Jersey Elite ,” Johnson said. “Fastball wasn’t cutting and my curveball had nothing on it.”Anderson hit his 18th home run this season on the first pitch with one out in the first inning. Kevan Smith’s single added another run.Matt Davidson’s two-run double chased Johnson in the second.The White Sox extended their lead to 5-0 on Adam Engel’s single off Bobby Poyner in the third inning.Palka smacked his 20th home run in the fourth off William Cuevas — four pitches after he hit a long drive just foul and completed a jog around the bases before heading back to the plate.“It was funny because the bat boy went to give me a high-five and I was like, ‘Just give me the bat,'” Palka said.“I thought it was foul by 20 feet and when he said ‘fair,’ I was like, ‘I’ll take it.’ He kind of gave me the same pitch 3-2 and I stayed back just enough.”HE GONEIn a pregame ceremony, the White Sox honored TV play-by-play announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, who is concluding his 34th and final year in the booth.Harrelson played nine seasons in the majors with four teams and rose to stardom in 1967, when he helped the Red Sox win the AL pennant. The following season, he led the majors with 109 RBIs and finished third in AL MVP voting.He became a broadcaster in 1975 with the Red Sox and served a season as the White Sox general manager.Harrelson made no apologies for his ardent support for his team.“The biggest compliment you can pay me is calling me a homer because I want these guys to win every game,” he said.NOTABLE NUMBERThe White Sox won four of seven games against Boston this season.“The second half has just been a whole different team — same guys, things are just clicking more consistently,” Palka said.TRAINER’S ROOMRed Sox: LHPs Sale (mild inflammation in left shoulder) and Price (bruised left wrist) could return to the rotation as early as next weekend, Cora said. For both starters, the Red Sox are looking at their next homestand, which begins Friday with three games against Houston before three games against Toronto and three against the Mets. Sale http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/greg-joseph-jersey , who has been on the DL since Aug. 15, could pitch a few innings as an “opener” as he builds up his stamina, Cora said. Sale is 12-4 with an AL-leading 1.97 ERA. “It’s going to be during the homestand, but we don’t know which series,” Cora said. … The Red Sox hope Price (14-6, 3.60 ERA) also will be able to throw off a mound this week in Atlanta as he works his way back. A line drive struck his pitching wrist against Miami on Wednesday. “It should be Houston or the next series,” Cora said. … Cuevas (heat-related illness) exited after allowing two runs and recording eight outs. The temperature at first pitch was 87 degrees.White Sox: C Welington Castillo (right shoulder) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Sunday and is expected to start Monday against Detroit. He was suspended for 80 games May 24 after he tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance. … RF Ryan LaMarre (right hip soreness) exited after six innings. He is day to day. … RF Avisail Garcia (right knee soreness) was out of the lineup Sunday after he left Saturday’s game after six innings.UP NEXTRed Sox: RHP Nathan Eovaldi (5-7, 4.35) is scheduled to start Monday’s opener of a three-game road series against Atlanta and RHP Touki Toussaint (1-0, 1.50).White Sox: RHP Reynaldo Lopez (5-9, 4.51) is set to start against RHP Michael Fulmer (3-10, 4.71) and Detroit in Monday’s opener of a three-game series.
