LOS ANGELES — Rich Hill might be inspired to get out some aggressions Tuesday and the Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander could unleash his venom on the New York Mets.It is not that Hill has anything against the Mets in particular http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-cliff-pennington-jersey , they just happen to be the team in his way now after he took the loss on Thursday in the opener of a showdown series with the club’s National League West rival Arizona Diamondbacks.The Dodgers won three of four games in the previous series against the Diamondbacks to regain first place in the division. Hill’s day to pitch was the only one that did not go to plan.Article continues below ...Further inspiring Hill on Tuesday is the fact that the Dodgers fell out of first place with a 4-2 defeat to the Mets on Monday. The Dodgers now trail the Colorado Rockies in the National League West by a half game.The Dodgers still got a strong start from Alex Wood on Monday and Hill figures to follow the game plan of a fellow left-hander.“This past weekend against Arizona it felt like playoffs, like it’s time to go,” Wood said. “We’ve been playing well lately, and it was a tough one (Monday). Sometimes you have to tip your cap and come back tomorrow and get the (victory).”Standing in the way of both Hill and the Dodgers will be Mets starter Jason Vargas (5-8, 6.56 ERA), who has finally turned a corner after a season that had not met his standards.Vargas is 3-0 with a 1.99 ERA over his last four starts and appears to finally be at full strength after spending over a month on the disabled list with a calf strain. Vargas was supposed to start against the Dodgers in June, but he injured himself preparing for that start and hit the DL.At long last, Vargas is finally looking like the pitcher the Mets expected when they signed him to a two-year, $16 million deal in February. Before he went on the DL, he was 2-6 with an 8.60 ERA and a 1.83 WHIP in his first 37 2/3 innings.Finally having all his pitches in sync has not only made Vargas better on the mound, but he has also become the master of the obvious.“It’s a lot easier when you’re able to go at them with three pitches that you know you have command of and you have the ability to make the guys swing and miss with,” Vargas said. “Pitching well is definitely better than pitching bad.”Vargas has suddenly given the much-improved Mets an intimidating 1-2 punch with fellow starter Jacob deGrom, who gave up just one run and two hits over six innings Monday to help set up New York’s series-opening victory over the Dodgers.Hill (6-5 Ken Griffey Jersey , 3.59) has faced the Mets seven times in his career, with five of those as a starter. He is 1-2 against New York with a hefty 7.83 ERA over 23 innings.In four career starts against the Dodgers, Vargas is 2-2 with a 4.39 ERA. He hasn’t faced them since 2013, though, giving up two runs over seven innings as a member of the Los Angeles Angels.

Pavely-USA TODAY SportsTigers sign Josh Harrison to one-year dealMost of the focus in free agency has been on the star-level talent like Manny Machado (who just signed, of course), Bryce Harper and Craig Kimbrel, but there are plenty of other very solid major leaguers out there as well. No, there aren’t 100 free agents out there who could and should get major-league deals like many have claimed, but there are still more than you typically see at this point on the calendar. One of the lower-profile players was Josh Harrison, and his free agency came to an end on Wednesday. The utility infielder, who primarily plays third and second base, signed on to play for the Tigers on a one-year contract. The financial commitment is not yet known. Obviously the Tigers are not going to be contenders in 2019 barring something wild happening Tony Perez Jersey , but this is what rebuilding teams should be doing more of. They still have to field a team, and rather than rush a prospect (which doesn’t really happen much these days, to be fair) or push a Quad-A player to a role above his means, they should be signing lower-tier free agents who have had MLB success to fill holes on the roster. They don’t need to dole out massive deals to older players, but guys like Harrison help them keep young players in proper roles while also potentially helping them in the summer as a trade chip. On top of that, it gives the fans a more legitimate roster for which they can root. So, I like this move, even if Harrison isn’t really a star but instead more of a one-win player. Every contribution counts. Oh, and if he does become a trade chip and Dustin Pedroia’s knee goes south, the Red Sox could be in on those talks.Indians sign Tyler Clippard to minor-league dealWe continue with the American League Central News Hour with a minor-league signing from the division favorite. Tyler Clippard, right-handed reliever, signed a MiLB pact with Cleveland on Wednesday for a base of $1.75 million if he makes the majors. The first instinct for a Red Sox fan when they see a reliever sign a minor-league deal is to, of course http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-cliff-pennington-jersey , wonder why the Red Sox didn’t get that done. If you think they should have offered a guaranteed major-league deal to get Clippard, that’s one argument and I don’t think it’s unfair. I’m not entirely sure I agree because I’m not a huge fan of the righty due to his extreme fly ball and subsequent home run tendencies. That said, he’s probably an upgrade over the other middle relievers, so I certainly see the argument. If you are wondering why they wouldn’t get him on a minor-league deal, well, it takes two to tango. If you’re Clippard, would you rather go to Boston, who has signed a billion other relievers to minor-league deals with whom you’d have to compete in spring training. Or, would you rather go to Cleveland who should be a playoff team, doesn’t have the bullpen depth they usually have and has a more straightforward path to the majors. It’s an easy choice to me.
