Hello friends, and welcome to another edition of Big Sports News. Today, we’ll be going into the MLB section of the Big Sports News network. So get your eyes ready, because not much is going to be here, so read fast! Hope you enjoy, the title says it all.
Akinori Iwamura
With the season-ending injury of Iwamura, the Rays are looking for replacements, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
Some trades could go on as the Rays might trade for Freddy Sanchez or Dan Uggla.
But the Rays say they’ll stick with their own guys, their replacements they already have in stock.
“I think we’ll stay in-house,” Friedman said. “I think with Zobie [Ben Zobrist], with Willy [Aybar], with [Reid] Brignac, we’ve got some very capable guys.”
I sure hope they do.
Alcides Escobar
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Class Triple-A prospect Alcides Escobar will return to shortstop with the Brewers after playing at second base.
With Rickie Weeks lost for the year, Escobar is now in and looks to bring it on.
“We’ll probably determine how much we want to keep him there [second base],” said Melvin. “We just wanted him to get a feel for it. We’ll probably get him back to short, mostly.”
Pedro Martinez
With Tim Redding out, the Mets are looking for a guy at fifth starter. The New York Post reports that the Mets may bring back in Pedro Martinez, who is still a free agent.
Could the Mets bring back Pedro, let’s hope they do because this guy has some talent and someone needs to take this kid badly. Sure, he may be old, but look at Jamie Moyer!
Take Pedro, New York, or you're screwed. Well, not really, but just take Martinez!
