Spring training is nearly upon us http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey ,and a number of marquee free agents and possible trade targets are flapping unsigned in the breeze. Welcome to the new reality in today's MLB offseason market.Maybe all the top names will sign at the eleventh hour before the exhibition slate begins. If not, here's a look at five blockbuster moves that could occur during spring training, including four seismic signings and one major trade.We'll begin with the trade and work our way up.Edwin Encarnacion Is Traded to the Houston Astros1 of 5Tony Dejak/Associated PressWhen the rebuilding Seattle Mariners and general manager Jerry Dipoto acquired veteran slugger Edwin Encarnacion in a three-team trade with the Cleveland Indians and Tampa Bay Rays in December, it seemed obvious they'd trade him before spring training.Yet, Encarnacion remains a member of the M's.The Houston Astros have shown interest, according to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. They could be content to roll with the combo of Tyler White and Yuli Gurriel at designated hitter, Divish adds, but the 32 home runs and 107 RBI Encarnacion logged for the Indians in 2018 would look mighty nice in Houston's already dangerous lineup.The 'Stros are trying to hang with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees among the American League elite. If they're willing to swallow most of the minimum $25 million remaining on Encarnacion's contract, they could add a dangerous masher at a nominal prospect cost.Craig Kimbrel Signs with the Boston Red Sox2 of 5Billie Weiss/Boston Red Sox/Getty ImagesThe Boston Red Sox need a proven arm in the back end of their bullpen as they embark on their title defense. Craig Kimbrel, who made three straight All-Star appearances during his three years as Boston's closer, remains unsigned as of this writing.Yes, Kimbrel turns 31 in May and could be a payroll drag on the back end of any long-term contract.That said Bo Jackson Jersey , the fact that he's languishing without a deal this close to spring training and the Sox are in desperate need of a player of his ilk ought to broker a compromise.Something in the neighborhood of three years and $40 million feels about right.Dallas Keuchel Signs with the Los Angeles Angels3 of 5David J. Phillip/Associated PressDallas Keuchel eclipsed 200 innings in 2018 with the Astros and put the injury concerns surrounding his past neck issues firmly in the rearview.Yet the 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner hasn't inked a contract in his first free-agency foray.Keuchel turned 31 on Jan. 1. He's a ground-ball artist who doesn't light up the radar gun. His market has developed slowly.Here's one obvious suitor: the Los Angeles Angels.The Halos need to build a winner before Mike Trout hits free agency following the 2020 season, and their rotation finished 19th with a 4.34 ERA in 2018.Keuchel won't land nine figures, but something in the neighborhood of the three-year, $75 million deal Jake Arrieta signed last winter with the Philadelphia Phillies could be a palatable outcome for Keuchel and the Angels.Manny Machado Signs with the Chicago White Sox4 of 5Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesWe already made the case for Manny Machado to sign a highly lucrative, short-term contract and bet on himself to earn a longer deal with a monster 2019.With the 26-year-old superstar still unsigned, that case hasn't gotten any weaker.The Chicago White Sox have beenpersistentlylinkedto Machado. They're a young squad on the rise with money to burn and a chance to make noise in the weak, winnable American League Central.A long-term deal is possible, but the ChiSox might lure Machado in with a one-year deal in the $35 million range and a possible second year plus an opt-out.He'd get paid handsomely now with a little insurance and an opportunity to cash in next winter.Bryce Harper Signs with the Philadelphia Phillies5 of 5Dustin Bradford/Getty ImagesLike Machado, Bryce Harper is looking for a job. Also like Machado, he's 26 years old and is a generational talent.Harper is apparently unwilling to sign a high-dollar, short-term deal, according to MLB Network'sJon Heyman. That might remove rumored perusers such as the San Francisco Giants from the running.The Philadelphia Phillies have been connected to Harper all winter Luis Aparicio Jersey , however, and have the need and budget flex to ink him for the long haul.It's simply an educated guess, but six years and $225 million seems within reason for the Phils and enough to move Harper's needle.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — One big inning was enough for Travis Shaw and the Milwaukee Brewers, and quite costly for Tyler Anderson and the Colorado Rockies.Shaw hit a grand slam during Milwaukee’s six-run first inning, and the Brewers beat the Rockies 8-4 on Saturday night.Milwaukee won for the fourth time in six games and stayed one back of NL Central-leading Chicago, which held on for a 5-4 win over San Diego.“We got off to an early lead and that kind of helped everything kind of settle in,” Shaw said.It sure did.Staked to a 6-0 lead, rookie Freddy Peralta pitched six effective innings in his second win over Colorado this season.“They didn’t square up many balls,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “Lot of balls in the air, a lot of easy outs.”Trevor Story hit two two-run homers for the Rockies, who have dropped five of six. Anderson (6-4) was tagged for seven runs and seven hits in four innings.Story’s 23rd homer off Matt Albers caromed off the yellow padding on top of the wall in the ninth. A 50-second replay review confirmed the call.The Rockies then loaded the bases with one out, but Joakim Soria struck out pinch-hitter Tom Murphy swinging and Josh Hader got Charlie Blackmon to pop out for his eighth save.“This team fights http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey ,” Colorado manager Bud Black said. “You saw it all night. You saw us playing hard all night.”Anderson held the opposition to a .144 average in his previous six starts, but Milwaukee jumped all over him right from the start.Ryan Braun hit an RBI single before the lefty-batting Shaw drove a 1-0 pitch from Anderson over the wall in right for his first homer off a lefty this season. It was his second career grand slam.Hernan Perez followed with his ninth homer of the season. It was the sixth time this year that Milwaukee hit consecutive home runs.“Today in the first inning, (Anderson) just couldn’t establish anything,” Black said. “All four of his pitches weren’t working, pretty simple. The Brewers took advantage of it with one big swing, really that cost Tyler. One big swing, that was sort of the back breaker.”Braun led off the third with a drive that bounced on the top of the padded wall in left for his 12th homer. Manny Pina made it 8-2 with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.Peralta (5-2) struck out eight while throwing a career-high 107 pitches. He allowed two hits and walked two.Peralta made his major league debut in Colorado on May 13 and struck out 13 in 5 2/3 scoreless innings.“We just haven’t been able to solve this young man,” Black said.STAT LINESPeralta hasn’t allowed more than five hits in his 10 starts. He has 21 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings against the Rockies and has limited them to a .079 batting average.It was Anderson’s shortest start since leaving after 1 1/3 innings at Miami on April 27 due to lightheadedness.ON THE BOARDJonathan Schoop’s base hit in the first inning snapped a 0-for-12 skid with eight strikeouts since joining the Brewers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.TRAINER’S ROOMRockies: RHP Chad Bettis (blister on right middle finger) felt good after he threw a side session, according to Black.Brewers: RHP Taylor Williams was placed on the 10-day disabled list with right elbow soreness. RHP Jacob Barnes is back for his third stint with the Brewers after being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs. He pitched the eighth and gave up a hit.UP NEXTRockies: RHP Jon Gray (9-7, 4.99 ERA) makes his fourth career start against the Brewers and third at Miller Park on Sunday. He is 0-1 with a 7.63 ERA against Milwaukee.Brewers: LHP Wade Miley (2-1, 1.53 ERA) is 7-2 with a 3.79 ERA in 12 starts against Colorado. He is facing the Rockies for the first time since 2014.__
