KISSIMMEE Alcides Escobar Jersey , Fla. (AP) —mainder of the free-agent market to bolster their ailing rotation, agreeing Monday to a minor league contract with Gio Gonzalez.If added to the 40-man roster, the 33-year-old left-hander would get a $3 million salary while in the major leagues and the chance to $9 million in performance bonuses: $300,000 for each start through 30. He was a far cheaper alternative to higher-priced options such as Dallas Keuchel.“Being a couple guys down, to have a guy like him still available, a luxury to be able to add him just for some depth,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s certainly good enough to be very much in the mix of things. But we’ll see how far along he is and if we’re at a point where he’s in play actually for the next couple, few weeks.”New York ace Luis Severino is sidelined by right shoulder inflammation and will not be available until May at the earliest. In addition, CC Sabathia is likely to miss the first week or two as he recovers from an offseason that included knee surgery and the insertion of a stent after a blockage was found in an artery from his heart. Sabathia also must serve a five-game suspension for hitting Tampa Bay’s Jesus Sucre with a pitch in his last regular-season start of 2018.Right-hander Masahiro Tanaka heads a rotation that includes lefties James Paxton and J.A. Happ. Jonathan Loaisiga, Luis Cessa and Domingo German are competing for two open rotation spots.Gonzalez is a two-time All-Star and was 21-12 in 2012, his first season with the Nationals. He is 127-97 with a 3.69 ERA in 11 major league seasons and just finished the second option season of a contract that wound up being worth $65.5 million over seven years.Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Gonzalez can opt out of his deal if he’s not added to the major league roster by April 20.“It’s him compared to anybody else we currently have at Triple-A through April 20, and the guy he has always been is lot better than those guys,” Cashman said.Gonzalez was 10-11 with a 4.21 ERA last season for Washington and Milwaukee http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , which acquired him on Aug. 31. He was 3-0 in five starts for the Brewers down the stretch, then started Games 1 and 4 of the NL Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was pulled after two innings of the opener and one inning of his second appearance, allowing one run in each.Just two years ago, Gonzalez went 15-9 with a 2.96 ERA in 201 innings for the Nationals.Aaron Boone’s father, former big league catcher Bob Boone, has seen Gonzalez in his role as Washington’s vice president and senior adviser to the general manager. Aaron Boone plans to have dinner with his dad when the Yankees travel across Florida to the east coast later this week.“I’m sure I’ll dive in on him a little bit,” Aaron Boone said.Cashman said the deal came together during Monday night’s 7-4 exhibition win over Atlanta. Luke Voit, trying to beat out Greg Bird for the first base job, hit his fourth homer. Aaron Judge hit a two-run triple. Judge has four doubles, a triple, six homers and 14 RBIs this spring.In his next-to-last tuneup for opening day, Tanaka allowed one run and two hits in five innings, giving up a homer to Nick Markakis.“The movement of the off-speed pitches was good Jorge Soler Jersey ,” Tanaka said through a translator. “Didn’t have much energy on the fastball early, the first two innings or so, but I think velocity kind of came together towards the end.” CHICAGO (AP) — With every big swing, every defensive gem all over the infield, Javier Baez is making an argument for NL MVP.It’s turning into quite a case.Baez homered and the Chicago Cubs took advantage of huge mistake by Ryan LaMarre, beating the crosstown White Sox 8-3 on Saturday night to increase their lead in the NL Central.Ben Zobrist added two hits and two RBIs as the Cubs moved 2½ games ahead of second-place Milwaukee. Coupled with the Brewers’ 3-0 loss at Pittsburgh, the Cubs lowered their magic number for clinching their third straight division title to six.“We got a long ways to go,” pitcher Jon Lester said when asked about the standings. “I don’t ever want to jump too far ahead on that one.”Lester (17-6) labored through five innings to move into a tie with Washington ace Max Scherzer for the NL lead in wins. The left-hander allowed three runs, two earned, and eight hits in his second straight victory.With the Cubs looking to hold off the hard-charging Brewers, Baez delivered once again. He hit a screaming liner for a two-run homer in the first and a run-scoring single in a three-run ninth. He has 34 homers and an NL-best 110 RBIs.“I feel like I can slow down a little bit and let the game come back to me,” he said, “and the pitchers http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , make them throw more strikes. That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s been working.”Tim Anderson connected for the White Sox, who lost for the fourth time in six games. Lucas Giolito (10-12) was charged with five runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings at Guaranteed Rate Field.Anderson’s leadoff drive in the third tied it at 2 and made him the first shortstop in franchise history with at least 20 homers and 20 steals in a single season. But LaMarre’s defensive miscue in the fifth helped the Cubs grab control.With one out and runners on first and second, Daniel Murphy hit a drive to left field. LaMarre broke in on the ball and it sailed over his head for an RBI double. Zobrist followed with a bouncer up the middle for a two-run single, giving the Cubs a 5-2 lead.“Basically I didn’t think he hit it as well as he did,” LaMarre said. “So I took a couple steps in, lost it in the lights just for a split-second. When it came out, it still had a little bit of steam on it, so it was a misread, a mistake, and I feel terrible.”The White Sox got one back on Matt Davidson’s RBI single in the bottom half of the inning. But Carl Edwards Jr., Jesse Chavez, Justin Wilson and Steve Cishek closed it out for the Cubs, combining for hitless relief after Lester departed.THEY GONEAnderson and White Sox manager Rick Renteria were ejected by umpire Joe West in the ninth after a hard slide by Baez into second helped break up a potential double play. Anderson also committed a throwing error Drew Butera Jersey , allowing Zobrist to score.Asked about West, Anderson responded: “I don’t have much to say about him. Everybody knows he’s terrible. But I didn’t say much. He threw me out. It’s OK.”MAKING MOVESThe Cubs selected Mike Freeman’s contract from Triple-A Iowa to provide some infield depth after Addison Russell was placed on administrative leave Friday following fresh allegations of domestic violence from his ex-wife. Russell has said the allegations are “completely false.”Freeman’s wife, Caroline, is pregnant with their first child, a girl. She is due Oct. 1.“She’s been great with it all. Knew this was a possibility,” he said. “I feel like I’m definitely more nervous about it than she was. She was excited for the opportunity and very gracious and very encouraging to me, which is a huge testament to her.”TRAINER’S ROOMCubs: OF Kyle Schwarber (lower back) went 2 for 3 with a walk while serving as the designated hitter for the second straight day. Manager Joe Maddon said he isn’t sure if Schwarber will be ready to play the field when the Cubs open a four-game series against Pittsburgh on Monday.White Sox: INF Leury García was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list. He had been sidelined by a strained left hamstring. … It’s unclear if 1B Jose Abreu will play again this season. Abreu was treated for a right thigh infection at a Cleveland hospital on Tuesday. “We’ll see how it goes in the next few days,” Renteria said.UP NEXTCubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks (12-11, 3.58 ERA) and White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon (6-6, 3.30 ERA) pitch Sunday in the series finale. Hendricks is 3-1 with a 1.42 ERA in his last five starts. Rodon has struggled in September, going 0-3 with a 5.25 ERA in four outings.
