  • A's News Clips, Monday, January 31, 2011 Seattle GM Downplays
    A’s News Clips, Monday, January 31, 2011 Seattle GM downplays Figgins-to-A's talk Zduriencik says plan remains for veteran to stay with Mariners By Jane Lee and Greg Johns / MLB.com Despite several reports that the Mariners and A's are talking about swapping third basemen Chone Figgins and Kevin Kouzmanoff, Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said Friday his plan remains for Figgins to be with the Mariners this season. The Contra Costa Times was the first to report that Oakland was pursuing Figgins in exchange for Kouzmanoff and possibly a pitcher. "I'm looking forward to Figgins being our starting third baseman," Zduriencik said. "He'll be here tomorrow [for the Mariners' FanFest]. He's been agreeable to moving back to third base and that's our plan, to have Chone be our Opening Day third baseman." Oakland officials have not commented on the report. The A's previously -- and unsuccessfully -- attempted to lure in Adrian Beltre this winter, signaling the notion that they're not entirely satisfied with Kouzmanoff. Beltre ultimately turned down a six-year deal worth $76 million from Oakland in favor of a tour with the Rangers. It marked the second straight year in which Beltre spurned an offer from the A's, who subsequently avoided arbitration with Kouzmanoff last week by way of a one-year, $4.75 million contract. The 29-year-old Kouzmanoff compiled career lows in batting average (.247), on-base percentage (.283), slugging percentage (.396) and OPS (.679) in 2010 but also led the team with 16 home runs and 71 RBIs.

  • 4 Takeaways As Red Sox Score 20 Runs in Explosion Against Rays
    4 takeaways as Red Sox score 20 runs in explosion against Rays Red Sox The Red Sox demolished the Rays on Wednesday, despite ninth inning struggles. The Red Sox demolished the Rays on Wednesday to break their recent slide. Jim Davis/Globe Staff By Tom Westerholm August 12, 2021 | 1:09 AM The Red Sox needed a win desperately on Wednesday, and they made sure — then kept making sure — they got one in a 20-8 victory over the Rays. Here’s what happened. The Big Picture The Red Sox gave Rays starter Josh Fleming no time to settle in, scoring their first run on the second batter of the game when Hunter Renfroe doubled in Kiké Hernández. Three runs crossed the plate in the first, and J.D. Martinez singled in two more in the second. Red Sox fans have learned not to breathe easy in recent weeks, however, so a five-run fourth helped ease nerves, as did a three-run triple by Bobby Dalbec in the fifth that Randy Arozarena appeared to lose in the lights. The Rays finally resorted to catcher Francisco Mejia on the mound. Mejia gave up six runs as the Red Sox crossed the 20- run threshold in the eighth. Advertisement: The Red Sox weren’t quite ready to let fans leave comfortably — Phillips Valdez gave up five hits and seven runs in the top of the ninth. As it turned out, 20 runs were just enough to feel comfortable. Star of the Game Hunter Renfroe — 3-for-5, three runs, four RBIs, two doubles Any of a number of offensive players would fit the bill here, but Renfroe gets the nod for jumpstarting the offense.
