In two separate trades with the Mariners, one last offseason and the other in June, the Yankees acquired Pat Neshek Jersey starting pitcher James Paxton and power hitter Edwin Encarnacion.Despite late-season injuries forboth players, the Yankees expect to have them back for their ALDS matchup with the Twins beginning Friday.Paxton threw only 21 pitches in his final regular-season start Friday before leaving with discomfort in his left glute.

CLEVELAND Didi Bleepin' Gregorius.That will be his name in New York and Cleveland for the rest of eternity, maybe with a stronger modifier in the middle ranging from endearing to unpleasant. The Yankees shortstop played the role of hero and villain with two home runs in James McCann Jersey a 5-2 victory against the Indians at Progre sive Field on Wednesday that sent New York to a date with Houston in the ALCS.You've gotta be bleepin' kidding me, right?MORE: Gregorius enjoyed the moment in the visitor's clubhouse, drenched in champagne, smiling and answering the same old questions."One of the big moments of my career with two home runs," he said.And yet when asked if he's a home-run hitter now . . ."Nope, not a home-run Christin Stewart Jersey hitter," he said with a laugh.MORE: Later, in the pre s conference, there was yet another query about the pre sure of replacing Derek Jeter."Well, (the) question never gets old," he said.Put it to rest, already. This is a different time, a different team and a different player, one who in this series picked up rookie slugger Aaron Judge (1 for 20, 16 strikeouts in the five games).It was Gregorius who set the tone Wednesday. After watchingvideo of Indians ace Corey Kluber from Game 2, he was waiting for a fastball in his first at-bat. When the fastball came, Gregorius poked it over the right-field fence for a quick 1-0 lead."He was throwing me a lot of cutters inside and some front-hippers," Gregorius said. "I was just trying to stay ready and put a good swing on the ball."I mean, it's good," he continued Josh Harrison Jersey . "Everybody was happy, that's what you want. Trying to get up facing their ace, so one run for us means a lot in that moment. It was amazing."MORE: Gregorius homered again in the third inning, this time a two-run shot that gave the Yankees a commanding lead. At that point, Judge had a one-liner ready for his teammate."'Anybody can do it twice;why not do it three times?'," Judge told Gregorius with a laugh. "Didi Mikie Mahtook Jersey had an incredible performance. He's been that guy for us all year. When we needed a clutch hit or clutch at-bat, he always came through for us."His clutch moment Wednesday came in the field whenCleveland was cutting into New York's lead in the fifth inning. After four consecutive singles against starter CC Sabathia, David Robertson came on to face Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor, whose grand slam turned the momentum in a Game 2 Indians win.Lindor grounded sharply to Gregorius, who stepped on second base and threw to first for a double play. The Yankees didn't face another serious scoring threat."The double play he turned on Lindor is not an easy play," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Without his arm strength, he doesn't do that, and that could change the game."MORE: Now it's on to Houston for Game 1 of the ALCS on Friday. It'll be another chance for Gregorius to continue this team's remarkable Jordan Zimmermann Jersey run remember, he also had a game-tying three-run homer in the AL wild-card game against the Twins. If Judge gets going in front of Gregorius, then the Yankees could be in busine s as they try to keep going.Gregorius has developed into a home-run hitter, Alex Wilson Jersey a clutch player and a defensive standout at 27. Just don't tell him that."There's a lot of times you put a label on a person without letting the person develop," he said. "They always predict something before everything."Well, Gregorius did everything in Game 5, and he'll be remembered forever in both cities whenever this game is replayed or brought up in a conversation.Didi Bleepin' Gregorius.

CHICAGO The NBA Draft Combine continued on Wednesday, shifting to the scrimmages portion of the showcase.While it may feel wrong to place too much stock into one or two scrimmage games, try telling that to players like Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland or San Antonio Spurs guard Josh Primo, both of whom elevated their draft stock considerably after strong showings at last year's combine.With that in mind, there were a few standout players this year, starting with NC State's Terquavion Pedro Avila Jersey Smith, Purdue's Trevion Williams and Arkansas' Jaylin Williams in the first scrimmage. In the second scrimmage, it was Santa Clara's Jalen Williams and Kansas' Christian Braun who shined.I kept a notebook of analysis from both scrimmages and you can find the highlights below.MORE: First NBA Draft Combine scrimmage takeawaysTerquavion Smith's draft stock growsSmith's name has been buzzing at the NBA Draft Combine, to the point where The Athletic's John Hollinger even compared his rise to Hyland's from last year.Getting some big Bones Hyland '21 Combine vibes from Terquavion Smith right now. John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) Smith's slight frame he's the lightest player weighed at 165.2 pounds is the reason his name didn't have as much steam prior to the combine, but it became clear that Eric Hosmer Jersey his lightning-quick speed and electric first step make it too tough for defenders to keep him in front. He was fearle s on the attack once he got past the first line of defense and he shot the ball with confidence.Terquavion Smith really showing his burst, shot-making and overall scoring instincts at the NBA Combine so far. Has had some good reps pa sing on the move as well. Impre sive stuff. Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpre s) The NC State freshman finished with a game-high 17 points (on 17 shots, for what it's worth) and will be a name to track moving forward as a potential sleeper in this year's draft.Trevion Williams' skillThe Purdue senior is known as a cerebral big man with advanced pa sing skills and court vision. He put all of that on display in the first scrimmage, tallying a double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds to go with five a sists.Even at 6-foot-9, 265 pounds, Williams showed he can grab a rebound, put the ball on the floor in transition His skill alone should be enough for a team to take a swing on him in the second round.Jaylin Williams' motor and physicality shine throughWilliams' final stat line of five points, six rebounds and five a sists does not do his performance justice. The Arkansas sophomore was the loudest player in the entire gym as his voice echoed around Wintrust Arena on every defensive po se sion.He played physical with Illinois' Kofi Cockburn inside and made a few savvy pa ses, including one sweet bounce pa s in traffic in the lane. He was also taking 3s with confidence, knocking down one 3-ball to show he can stretch the floor a bit.I noticed Williams' shooting stroke during the drills on Wednesday, and it was evident that he has been working on his shot. Wil Myers Jersey With his size and mobility, I find it hard to believe he can't find a home as a potential small-ball five in the NBA.Other notesToledo's Ryan Rollinsplays with a great pace with the ball in his hands. He's a confident dribbler and more shifty and slithery than I realized. He was confident attacking and showed he can do much more than just shoot from the perimeter.Vanderbilt's Scotty Pipper Jr.is a pest defensively. He has extremely quick footwork and it felt like he was guarding a full 94 feet the whole scrimmage.Louisiana Tech's Kenneth Lofton Jr.fit Blake Snell Jersey right in after earning a call-up from the G League camp earlier this week. Concerns about his body aside, he's a heck of a basketball talent, moves much more swiftly than you would expect, has a solid handle and finished with good touch around the basket. Second NBA Draft Combine scrimmage takeawaysJalen Williams has made a lot of fansBefore the day even started, NBA Big Board's Rafael Barlow that said, "Don't be surprised if Jalen Williams ends up a lottery pick."Williams caught some eyes after the anthrometric measurements on Wednesday, listed with a 7-foot-2.25 wingspan. Considering he's only 6-foot-6 with shoes on, .And his long arms were definitely the first thing that stuck out when seeing him in person.Williams had a few really strong finishes around the basket, letting the offense come to him on a 5-of-8 shooting night. He only played 14 minutes, but it was a quality sample size for a player whose draft stock is on the up.Christian Braun should be a first-round pickI had Braun going 30th overall to the Thunder , but any team in the late-first round could benefit from a player like the Kansas junior.Braun is far from just a spot-up shooter on the perimeter, and he showed that in the second scrimmage. He was attacking off the dribble more Austin Hedges Jersey than I've ever seen before making the right reads to tally six a sists. He played physical on defense and made his usual impact on the gla s. He didn't finish around the rim all that well, but it's known he is capable in that area. It was the "other things" he did today to stuff that stat sheet that impre sed me.If he can become a more consistent shooter, he'll be able to enter an NBA rotation immediately as a 3-and-D guy.Other notesNC State's Dereon Seabronwas the game's leading scorer, tallying 17 points in a variety of ways. He was active without the ball, finding open spaces for easy layups or dunks as a cutter. He got to the free throw line, corralled a handful of rebounds and applied pre sure defensively. It was a strong showing from San Diego Padres Jersey the unheralded redshirt sophomore.G League Ignite's Michael Fostershould receive second-round looks as a small-ball center. At 6-foot-9 with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, Foster moves so fluidly for his size. He held down the paint with three nice blocks and had an eye-catching play where he grabbed a board, pushed the ball up the floor and made a nice kick-out read for a 3. He didn't shoot the ball or finish inside very well, but the potential is there.New Zealand Breakers' Hugo Be sonlooked unphased by any sort of pre sure out there likely a product of playing profe sionally in the NBL. He's a smooth operator with the ball in his hands, using creative dribble moves off the bounce to get by his defender. Be son had a few sweet pa ses, for an easy layup. He has a great feel for the game and is certainly a better shooter than he showed today (1-5 3PT).

LiAngelo Ball is looking to join his older brother Lonzo and his younger brother LaMelo in the NBA, and his G League debut was a step in the right direction on that front.Ball was selected by the Greensboro Swarm, the Charlotte Hornets' affiliate development team, with the No. 14 overall pick Frank White Jersey in the G League Draft a few weeks back.It only took one game for the 22-year-old to find his name on Twitter feeds everywhere, erupting for 22 points in 24 minutes off the bench.NBALeaguePa s: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial)LiAngelo Ball went CRAZY in his debut with the 22 pts (9-13 fg) in 24 min off the bench NBA G League ( Terrance Gore Jersey @nbagleague) Ball shot an efficient 9-for-13 from the field, knocking down four of his seven 3-point attempts. He only added one rebound and one a Jason Vargas Jersey sist, but he recorded a team-best +/- of plus-12 in a game his team lost by 11 points, 128-117, to the Birmingham Squadron.What is LiAngelo Ball's path to the NBA?As of now, Ball is only on Blank Jersey aG League contract with the Swarm.MORE: He was signed to a non-guaranteed deal with the Hornets this offseason but was waived immediately after, allowing their G League team to retain his rights.Because the Hornets' two two-way contracts are already taken by rookies Scottie Lewis and Arnoldas Kulboka, Ball will not spend any time with the NBA squad unle s one of those two players Lucas Duda Jersey are promoted to a full-time roster spot and he fills a two-way slot,or he plays well enough to earn a full-time roster spot himself.With a tally of 14 players and two two-way contracts, theHornets do currently have a roster spot available, as teams are allowed 15 full-time players along with the two two-way deals. However, Ball will need many more performances like this one for Ryan O'Hearn Jersey Charlotte to consider signing him to a contract.The Swarm will play a 50-game season, giving Ball moreopportunities to prove his worth to the Hornets or another NBA team to join his brothers in the league.The Swarm are already back in action on Saturday, Nov. 6 in a rematch with the Squadron.

As an adult, I wouldnt sit there because theres not enough time to react to those things. At first, my heart sank, because I didnt know David Price Jersey how bad he was hurt.Then, I was (ticked) off because of the area they were sitting in in the first place. Its not a place for kids. Its really not. I wouldnt put my kids there. I wouldnt even sit there. Its different Bill Lee Jersey when youre a player, youre in every pitch, but as a fan, youre distracted.

Harper would be Diego Castillo Jersey dumbnotto go to space at a cost like that.He has$330 million;$55 million is nothing to him. If he wanted to go all out, he could waste his entire contract and spend, like, two months up there. I don't know what he'd do all alone in the galaxy, though. Maybe he can go find that baseball .Axiom plans on sending people to space starting in 2020, so Harper has a full year to start saving his cash.Bryce Harper should fix the Fyre FestivalWe have two documentaries explaining how much of a desire Fyre Festival was.

Take a look at all of the amazing islands available to buy on. Some cost so much money, they don't even tell you how much they are.But on the ones that do, the most expensive one I found costs $160 million at 110 acres. This will probably eat up too much of Harper's overall contract, so let's lower the price a bit. His best value is the, which only costs $55.7 million. This one is2,223 acres, which is perfect if he wants to host a music festival there. Plenty of space.Bryce Harper should buy expensive foodsThere's nosingle food item that's going to break the bank for Harper, but we'll list a few ridiculously priced items below.$2,000 pizza from : It has24K gold leaves for some reasonBillion Dollar Wade Boggs Jersey Popcorn from : Costs $5 a kernel, also has gold in it$777 burger from : Made with Kobe beef and Maine lobsterBlack Diamond ice cream from : Why do people like eating gold?$5,000 burger from: How does it cost that much?$25,000 taco from : Again, gold is involvedBryce Harper should go HollywoodThe budget for "Avengers: Infinity War" was between $316-$400 million, so hopefully Bryce saved up from his previous contracts because he might need some extra cash. The good newsis the movie made$2.048 Daniel Robertson Jersey billion at the box office, so there's good potential for return on investment.This is obviously the best way for Harper to invest his money.

After a year away from baseball, Barry Zito attempted to make a comeback this spring with the team that made him a star. However, Zitos attempt to make the Athletics' opening day roster didnt end exactly as planned.On Saturday, the 2002 AL Cy Young Award Jose Leclerc Jersey winner and three-time All-Star was sent to Triple-A affiliate Nashville, an a signment he accepted beautifully.MLB 2015: | I didnt stay in shape Brett Martin Jersey for a year and go all in to go rush and sit at home, . A lot of retired guys Ive talked to regretted that they didnt keep going. Go to a brand-new park in Nashville, good music town, take my wife and kid and just have fun with it.Zito worked a 1-2-3 sixth inning in Oakland on Saturday against his other former team, the Giants, before leaving the mound to a standing ovation. If another team comes calling for Zito this season, the As will let him pursue a big-league opportunity Lance Lynn Jersey .But for the time being, As manager Bob Melvin hopes Zitos veteran knowledge and work ethic rubs off on his Triple-A arms.Im a huge fan now, said Melvin, who didnt know Zito before this spring. He works as hard as a rookie Brock Burke Jersey does. We put him in some uncomfortable situations, and all he did was go out and perform.As Zito left the mound Saturday and tipped his cap to the Oakland crowd, former rotation mate and current Giant Tim Hudson watched from the opposing dugout.Im happy for him and I really hope this works out for him, and if hes not putting on an Oakland uniform, hes putting on somebody elses in the big leagues, Hudson said.
