Emmanuel Clase news increases chance for Guardians to trade other star players
The Cleveland Guardians have been in a tough situation after recent news on the betting scandal that highlights star closer Emmanuel Clase's name. Clase joined teammate Luis Ortiz on non-disciplinary leave after both players had been involved in gambling investigations; the earliest Clase and Ortiz can return to action will be Aug. 31. With this being said, the Guardians' biggest trade candidate lost his value for the season. This news has raised the odds for multiple other Cleveland stars to be traded before the MLB trade deadline on Thursday. According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, Emmanuel Clase's suspension "ended any chance of the Guardians becoming a buyer, and likely increased the possibility of the team trading right-hander Shane Bieber and perhaps left fielder Steven Kwan." "The Guardians intend to set a high bar for their desired return," Rosenthal mentioned in an article on Monday night. Shane Bieber, 30, is a former Cy Young Award winner and is coming off Tommy John surgery. He's currently playing on a contract that will have him earning $10 million this season and will have a $16 million player option for 2026. Steven Kwan, 27, is earning about $4.2 million this season and and the Guardians have arbitration control of him until after 2027. It's been reported that he's drawn interest from multiple teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, and San Diego Padres. After Emmanuel Clase's suspension, it's looking like the Cleveland Guardians are going to have to change their intentions leading up to the MLB trade deadline. It looks like they will be changing from being a buyer to potentially selling players.

Rays trade catcher Danny Jansen to his hometown Brewers for minor league infielder
NEW YORK (AP) — Veteran catcher Danny Jansen was traded by the Tampa Bay Rays to his hometown Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night for minor league infielder Jadher Areinamo. Jansen was in Tampa Bay's original lineup against the New York Yankees but was pulled about 45 minutes before the first pitch. The trade was announced shortly after the Rays ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win at Yankee Stadium. Jansen said he found out about the deal after meeting with manager Kevin Cash and president of baseball operations Erik Neander. 'I was getting ready to play the game, and I understand that side of baseball,' Jansen said. 'Just grateful for the time spent here with the guys.' The Rays signed Jansen to an $8.5 million, one-year contract on Dec. 13. He batted .204 with 11 homers and 29 RBIs in 73 games for the Rays. Jansen grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin. He is joining the NL Central leaders to serve as a backup to William Conteras, who is playing through a fractured finger. Conteras is hitting .245 with six homers and 42 RBIs in 100 games. 'I don't live too far,' Jansen said. 'That's going to be something that my wife and I had never experienced.' Jansen was moved right around the MLB trade deadline for the second straight season. Toronto dealt him to Boston on July 24, 2024, and he wound up playing for both teams in a game at Fenway Park that got suspended June 26 and resumed two months later. 'Having gone through a trade last year will probably make this process a little bit easier for me going into a team as a catcher learning pitchers and all that,' Jansen said. 'So, looking forward to the challenge and task at hand with that. I think having a little bit of experience helps.' Areinamo batted .297 with 11 homers and 51 RBIs in 94 games for Class A Wisconsin of the Midwest League and has appeared at third base, shortstop and second base. Last season, he hit .301 in 110 games for Wisconsin. The Rays are 8-18 in their last 26 games following a 25-9 stretch from May 20 to June 26. Tampa Bay is 2 1/2 games back of the final wild-card spot in the American League. ___ AP MLB:

McIntosh invited Harvey to celebrate with her atop the podium as they sang along to the Canadian national anthem. "Definitely the highlight for me tonight was Mary getting on the podium. That's absolutely incredible," McIntosh said. " ...and she's worked so hard for this. And to see her get the result, I mean, I think she's over the moon about it and she deserves it.

"It was not easy, and I'm just really proud of myself," Walsh said, thrilled to be under 55 seconds. "It took a lot of guts. I just wanted to go out there and do it for my team, just represent the flag well. It came out of somewhere, but I'm really, really happy." Walsh's older sister Alex was almost even with McIntosh after 150 metres, swimming a strong breaststroke leg to make it a race. "I was really excited on the breaststroke leg," she said. "I could see her and I knew I was kind of gaining on her because breaststroke is my best stroke. I was really excited and, obviously coming home on the freestyle, that's definitely where my biggest weakness [is]."
