Pete Rose Jersey , the San Diego Padres have to be feeling good about their 2019 outlook after they reportedly agreed to a deal with Manny Machado onTuesday.ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the Padres signed the four-time All-Star. MLB.com's Mark Feinsand added Machado will receive $300 million over 10 years.The Padres tried to expedite their rebuild last offseason by signing Eric Hosmer to play first base. It didn't work out how they hoped, though the long-term outlook for this franchise looks to be high with Machado on board. Padres Projected Starting Lineup1. Ian Kinsler, 2B2. Manny Machado, SS3. Eric Hosmer, 1B4. Wil Myers, LF5. Hunter Renfroe, RF6. Manuel Margot, CF7. Francisco Mejia, C8. Ty France, 3B9.TBD (Starting Pitcher)Even though there are glaring holes in that lineup http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-dave-hollins-jersey , it's important to remember the Padres will look very different as 2019 moves along.Per ESPN.com's Keith Law, San Diego has MLB's No. 1 farm system thanks to a combination of superstars at the top and high-end depth:"The Padres are poised to sit at or near the top of these rankings for quite some time, even though they'll likely lose at least three top-100 prospects to graduations this year (Fernando Tatis Jr., Chris Paddack,Luis Uriasand maybe Logan Allen), with the 2016 international class still just barely getting to full-season ball, another solid draft class last year and the sixth overall pick this year."Law mentioned four players who could be expected to arrive in San Diego this season. Manager Andy Green will have to determine whether to use Tatis or Machado at shortstop, but it's a good problem to have.MLB.com has Tatis ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect. The 20-year-old hit .286/.355/.507 in 88 games at Double-A last season.Machado's arrival gives the Padres a franchise cornerstone to start this season and a bridge to help them compete in the National League West while they wait for those young players to get accustomed to the big leagues.Even though they finished 30 games under .500 last year, the Padres have made themselves into one of the most interesting teams in Major League Baseball. TORONTO — The Houston Astros have a club record for wins within sight as they move closer to clinching the American League West.After taking the first two games of a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays, including a 4-1 victory Tuesday night John Kruk Jersey , the 2017 World Series champions have won 100 games in a season for the second straight season and the third time in franchise history.“That’s a lot of wins. I’m proud of this team and we’re not done yet,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “It’s hard to win in this league in general when everybody expects you to and there’s such a small margin for error where there’s a reaction every time you don’t win. So, to be at a 100 and climbing is remarkable for this team.”Article continues below ...The club record is 102 wins set in 1998.The victory on Tuesday was the Astros 54th on the road this season, also a club record.The Astros entered Tuesday with a 4 1/2-game lead over the Oakland Athletics in the division.The Astros (100-57) will start right-hander Chris Devenski (2-2, 4.12 ERA) in the series finale Wednesday afternoon. The Blue Jays (71-87) will counter with right-hander Sean Reid-Foley (2-4, 5.40).Reid-Foley could pitch only two or three innings — he’s already thrown 159 2/3 innings, including his minor-league season. In four starts in September, he is 2-2 with a 3.92 ERA.He has never faced the Astros.Devenski has made 47 relief appearances and no starts this season. In five career starts, he is 1-2 with a 4.01 ERA. In four relief appearances against Toronto he is 0-0 with a 5.14, including one scoreless inning this season.Both teams seem prepared to empty the bullpens.Blue Jays shortstop Lourdes Gurriel Jr. did not play Tuesday and will sit out the rest of the season because of a strained hamstring. He left the game Monday after grounding into a double play in the first inning.His brother http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-greg-luzinski-jersey , Astros infielder Yuli Gurriel, was 2-for-4 to extend his hit streak to 11 games in which he is batting .444 (20-for-44). The series was the first time they had played against each other in the majors and it lasted only the one inning.The Blue Jays also announced that right-hander Aaron Sanchez had surgery on his injured right index finger on Tuesday.Sanchez has been limited by finger injuries the past two seasons after winning the American League ERA title in 2016. Last season, it was a blister problem and this season the finger got caught in his suitcase in June. “Hopefully this clears it all up, because he’s important to this team,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “He was on top of the world a couple years ago and he’s been knocked down. That’s a big part of the frustration; he hasn’t been able to do much the last two years.”The Astros were again without shortstop Carlos Correa, who is resting lingering back and oblique issues. He could return to the lineup Wednesday as designated hitter.Correa was on the disabled list from June 26-Aug. 10 with a sore back. He is batting .174 with four extra-base hits in 121 at-bats since being activated from the DL.He has missed the past five games.“It’s a lot more comfortable,” Correa said Tuesday. “It felt good enough for me to go out there and play tomorrow and try to get these last two series for me to get some at-bats before going to the postseason.”Correa said the final five games will help prepare him for the playoffs.“It’s something that never goes away, I feel like,” Correa said. “I’m looking forward to helping the team in the postseason and getting my rest in the offseason.”The Astros lead the season series with the Blue Jays 4-1.The series finale will be the final home game of the season for the Blue Jays and could be the final home game for Gibbons as manager.
