CARLSBAD http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-omar-vizquel-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Months before the start of spring training, the New York Yankees‘ injury list is lengthening.Catcher Gary Sanchez had surgery on his left shoulder Thursday, which could slow him during spring training but is not likely to keep him out of the lineup on opening day.“His shoulder has bothered him off and on since ’17,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday. “He’s been treated conservatively with it. He had an injection towards the end of ’17. He had two in ’18. He just resumed workouts and still felt a little bit lingering from it.”Cashman made the announcement at the general managers’ meetings, hours after the Yankees finalized an $8 million, one-year contract with CC Sabathia. The 38-year-old left-hander said 2019 will be his final season.New York announced last month that Didi Gregorius will miss much of next season after Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ligament in the shortstop’s right elbow.An All-Star in 2017 who slumped badly this year, Sanchez felt continued shoulder pain while working out last week at the Yankees’ minor league complex in Tampa, Florida, with strength and conditioning coach Matt Krause.“He said things are going well, but my shoulder is still cranky. It’s still lingering in there Jason Kipnis Jersey ,” Cashman said. “So it’s just enough complaints, too many over the course of a year-and-half now.”Head team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad performed a debridement at New York-Presbyterian Hospital to remove loose debris from Sanchez’s non-throwing shoulder. The recovery is expected to be about three months.Sanchez, 25, hit .299 with 20 homers and 42 RBIs two years ago, when he impressed during a call-up in the season’s final two months, and he was an All-Star in 2017 who hit .278 with 33 homers and 90 RBIs in 122 games. But he slumped to a .186 with 18 homers and 53 RBIs in 89 games this year, when he was limited by a groin injury, and his defense was poor for the second straight year.“It may very well have been something that affected him performance-wise. I can’t rule that out,” Cashman said.Sabathia went 9-7 with a 3.65 ERA in 29 starts this year. He met with Cashman in the Yankees clubhouse the day after New York’s season ended.“He said, ‘Cash I want to play again. I will play somewhere else if I have to. But I don’t want to play anywhere else. I’m a Yankee. I want to end as a Yankee. Next year is my last year Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey , but I am going to play and I’m hoping it’s here.'”A six-time All-Star and the 2007 AL Cy Young Award winner, Sabathia is 246-153 in 18 major league seasons with a 3.70 ERA and 2,986 strikeouts, including 129-80 in a decade with the Yankees. He took a $2 million paycut.“It’s certainly not simple negotiating with someone you have a great deal of respect for and you’re dealing with lesser dollars,” Cashman said. “Those are not easy conversations to have.” Jim McIsaac/Getty ImagesFour-time All-Star shortstop Manny Machado reportedly will be traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the Los Angeles Dodgers "barring a last minute snag," according to Bob Nightengale ofUSA Today. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports confirmed the report during the All-Star Game.Jon Heyman of Fancred reported topDodgersoutfield prospect Yusniel Diaz is in the offer to the Orioles.Machado confirmed he has seen the reports and thinks they are valid, but isn't certain, per Heyman. "It鈥檒l be different. But different can be good."Machado is enjoying the best year of his career. Through 96games, he has a .575slugging percentage, 24home runs and 65 RBI.Most Orioles fans likely resigned themselves to losing him.An MLB agent toldSports Illustrated'sTom Verducciin April 2017 that both Machado and Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals could command contracts in excess of $400 million on the open market.Chris Davis earned the biggest deal in Orioles history when he signed for seven years and$161 millionin 2016. Even if Machado doesn't hit the $400 million mark http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-larry-doby-jersey , his next contract could more than double Baltimore's richest pact.He is also set to hit free agency at what appears to be a transitional phase for the team.Adam Jones, Zach Britton and Brad Brach are all impending free agents, and the general feeling is Baltimore is headed for a painful rebuild, as evidenced by its28-69record.Beyond the massive investment in Machado, ownership would have needed to commit more money to turn the team into a serious playoff contender in the top-heavy American League East.Baltimore kicked the can down the road for a while and tried to keep its window for contention open longer than was feasible. Consequently, the Orioles are one of the worst teams in baseball.Ultimately, the franchise had little choice but to trade Machado before it lost him and received only a draft pick as compensation.Machado turned 26 on July 6, so he's in the prime of his career and doesn't have a ton of red flags regarding his health, either. He suffered season-ending knee injuries in 2013 and 2014 but hasn't shown lingering effects.In the first three seasons after his second surgery, Machado missed 11 combined games and batted .280 with a .502 slugging percentage.Additionally Bob Feller Jersey , Machado's underwhelming 2017 season (.259 AVG, .471 SLG) appears to be a blip.The Dodgers were one of the most logical destinations for him. Even after various trades and MLB promotions, Los Angeles still has a solid minor league system from which it could put together a worthwhile package.More importantly, the Dodgers had an immediate need on the left side of their infield after Corey Seager underwent Tommy John surgery in May.By adding Machado, Los Angeles can move Chris Taylor or Logan Forsythe to second base and get the retiring Chase Utley out of the starting lineup. Going from Utley to Machadowill provide a much-needed injection of power to an offense that has struggled to recover from injuries to both Seager and Justin Turner this season.
