Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees are all in the running from zhangzk's blog

The Boston Red Sox Aaron Nola Jersey ,  for Kansas City Royals third basemanMike Moustakas, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.Per that report, "there's enough of a market for Moose that it's more likely than not the Royals deal him this month."Manny Machado's status looms over any trade talks around baseball, however.According toMark Feinsandof MLB.com Juan Samuel Jersey , the Royals likely "will have to wait until Machado gets dealt first. Manny could be the domino that starts a number of things in motion."Machado is the bigger fish and the better player, but Moustakas would still be a nice consolation prize for teams unwilling to meet the BaltimoreOrioles' asking price. The 29-year-old is hitting .249 with 19 homers and 58 RBI this season, and the shortstop would provide solid pop for a team looking to add an upgrade at the hot corner, his position last season.The Red Sox and Yankees are currentlyjostling for first place in the AL East http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-pat-neshek-jersey , with Boston holding a 4.5-game lead over New York. Neither team particularly needs the upgrade necessarily from an offensive standpoint鈥攖he Red Sox lead baseball in runs (530), while the Yankees are third (498)鈥攂ut adding another dangerous bat could set either team apart from the other.Atlanta, meanwhile, is trying to catch the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East Robin Roberts Jersey , trailing them by just 0.5 games. The Braves are eighth in runs scored (456) but tied for 18th in homers (101). Adding a power bat like Moustakas would certainly make sense for Atlanta. Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty ImagesA Los Angeles Dodgers fan died after being struck by a foul ball during a game at Dodger Stadium in August.According to Outside the Lines' William Weinbaum, the Los Angeles County coroner determined Linda Goldbloom died after suffering an "acute intracranial hemorrhage due to history of blunt force trauma," which happened during the Dodgers' 5-4 12-inning win over the San Diego Padres.Goldbloom was hit in the ninth inning when a foul ball from a Padres batter sailed above the protective netting behind home plate on the first-base side.Goldbloom's daughter, Jana Brody Tug McGraw Jersey , told Weinbaum that medical personnel transported her to the L.A. County-USC Medical Center, where she underwent emergency brain surgery. Goldbloom died Aug. 29 after her family took her off her ventilator.The Dodgers provided a statement about Goldbloom's death to Weinbaum: "Mr. and Mrs. Goldbloom were great Dodgers fans who regularly attended games. We were deeply saddened by this tragic accident and the passing of Mrs. Goldbloom. The matter has been resolved between the Dodgers and the Goldbloom family. We cannot comment further on this matter."MLB in 2015 released the results of a study that recommended teams increase the area covered by protective netting or barrier to that within 70 feet of home plate. The league announced last February that all 30 stadiums would have netting that extended to the far end of each team's dugout.That came after a young fan was hospitalized in 2017 after she was hit by a foul ball at Yankee Stadium.Brody advocated for further protective netting going forward."I'd love to see the netting extended vertically, and we know it doesn't block the view," she said. "Raise it a little higher鈥攚hat's the hurt in that?"Editor's note: An earlier version of this article reported the name of the Padres batter thought to have been at bat at the time of the injury Drew Hutchison Jersey , but enough doubt has been cast on that identity that it has now been removed from the story.
