There’s more! For the terms of the deal also include a team option for 2020,

That completes the set http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , and means Arizona will have no players going to arbitration this year."But, wait! which would have been T.J. McFarland’s third year of arbitration-eligibility. We don’t yet have details of the cost involved. I would presume, however, that the addition of cost-certainty for the team next year, probably means the settlement for this year is closer to the figure of $1.675 million which the pitcher wanted, than the $1.275 million offered by the team when they filed a couple of weeks ago. On the other hand Blake Treinen Jersey , there could be additional guaranteed cash for T.J. in the form of a buyout of the 2020 option. We’ll find out in due course, I’m sure. Expect a Jack spreadsheet update over the weekend. Because that now closes the book for 2019 in terms of salary negotiations for the Diamondbacks. McFarland was the only one not to have agreed to a deal before the filing deadline. While previously, this might have meant the team cutting negotiations and going through the arbitration process,that clearly wasn’t the case here. It’s probably for the best, as an arbitration hearing can end up damaging the relationship between the player and the team. After all, he has to sit there and listen to the team explaining why he isn’t worth as much money as he thinks. That’s not a performance review I’d wish on anyone.T.J. was certainly one of the more valuable members of the Diamondbacks’ bullpen last year, working long relief and dialing up ground balls at a Ziegler-esque rate. Let’s just hope that the one we get for the next one (or two) seasons is similar in quality Chris Hatcher Jersey , and reliever volatility does not make him regress to the rather less effective results we saw from him in his first season with the Diamondbacks. A look at what’s happening around the majors today:EARLY TESTOff to the best start in baseball, Kevin Kiermaier and the Tampa Bay Rays host the wobbling Red Sox. Boston is just 6-13, and a real bad series at Tropicana Field could drop the defending World Series champions into a double-digit deficit.Rays manager Kevin Cash will use an opener for the third straight game. Tampa Bay is again employing a reliever to start because ace Blake Snell is out with a broken toe — the reigning AL Cy Young Award winnermight have a bullpen session this weekend.Eduardo Rodriguez (1-2, 7.98 ERA) starts for the Red Sox, who will play Tampa Bay six times in 10 days. Boston has placed second baseman Dustin Pedroia back on the injured list because of left knee irritation.A HITTING SABBATICALCC Sabathia takes a unique streak into this matchup vs. Kansas City: The Yankees lefty is the only pitcher in big league history to have back-to-back starts in the regular season of at least five innings while allowing no walks and no more than one hit.The 38-year-old Sabathia pitched five innings of one-hit ball against the White Sox last week in his season debut. He did the same thing last September against the Rays before being ejected for hitting a batter.Johnny Vander Meer threw back-to-back no-hitters for Cincinnati in 1938, walking a total of 11 in those two games.LATELYDiamondbacks rookie Christian Walker is showing a knack for late knocks. He has hit six home runs this season, all of them in the seventh inning or beyond.Walker struck out in his first three at-bats Thursday http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , but hit a two-run homer in the seventh that helped Arizona beat Atlanta 4-1. He then added a double, and is batting .619 (13 for 21) after the sixth inning.GET GOING!The Giants are 8-12 and part of the problem is they’re getting off to slow starts. San Francisco is the only team in the majors that hasn’t yet scored in the first inning. Overall, Buster Posey and the Giants are hitting only 6 for 63 (.095) in the opening frame.They’ll try to break that early hex when they face Pittsburgh righty Jordan Lyles (0.82 ERA in two starts) at PNC Park. Madison Bumgarner (1-2, 3.12) pitches for the Giants.QUICK LONE STAR REPRISEThe Houston Astros are already making their second trip to rival Texas. The Astros, two-time defending AL West champs, surged to the division lead on a 10-game winning streak that ended Wednesday with a loss in Oakland. The Rangers, who are supposed to be rebuilding Boog Powell Jersey , have won a season-best four straight and took two of three from the Astros in Arlington in the second series of the season. Houston ace Justin Verlander faces Drew Smyly, one of several reclamation projects in the Texas rotation. The teams play again in three weeks in Houston.
