WEST PALM BEACH http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , Fla. (AP) — was not impacted by the second slow free-agent market.“I wanted to play here,” the third baseman said Friday after the team announced a $100 million, five-year contract covering 2020-24. “I didn’t want to play anywhere else. I wanted to be in orange and blue for as long as I possibly can. I love this organization. I want to win here for a long time.”Selected by Houston with the second overall pick in the 2015 amateur draft, Bregman debuted with the Astros in July 2016 and helped Houston win its first World Series title in 2017.His contract was renewed this month by the Astros for a major league salary of $640,500 this year. The new deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, half payable within 30 days of the agreement’s approval by the commissioner’s office and the rest within 90 days’ of approval.Bregman gets salaries of $11 million annually from 2020-22 and $28.5 million in both 2023 and ’24. His salaries in the final two years can increase based on MVP finish earlier in the deal. They would go up by $1.5 million for first place, $750,000 for second and $500,000 for third, and by $2 million if he wins 2020 and ’21. If he wins MVP in ’21 or ’22 and again in ’23, his 2024 salary would rise by $2 million.He also gets the ability in 2023 and ’24 to designate 10 teams he cannot be traded to without his consent.“We thought he had chance to get to the big leagues pretty quickly and we thought he had a chance to be a pretty special big league player – and we were right,” Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow said.Bregman first approached Luhnow about a long-term deal after last season. His agent, Brodie Scoffield, met with Astros representatives at the general managers’ meetings and the winter meetings, then gained pace during spring training.He would have been eligible for salary arbitration next winter after for free agency after the 2022 season.“For us to get two years of Alex’s free agency in his prime is real value to us,” Luhnow said. “For him to give that up was a sacrifice for him. On the flip side http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , we’re going to commit some resources to him over the next six years that he’ll be able to go out and play and not worry about arbitration, not worry about free agency — at least not for a while. And then we’ll have this discussion again in about four or five years.”An All-Star in 2018 when he led the league with 51 doubles, the 24-year-old Bregman has displayed a penchant for the big hit.Luhnow said he called Bregman’s tying home run off Boston’s Chris Sale in the eighth inning of the 2017 AL Division Series Game 4 finale and his game-ending 10th-inning single against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Kenley Jansen in Game 5 of that year’s World Series.“Two moments that are, in my mind, some of the top moments in my baseball life and Astros baseball franchise history,” Luhnow said.Bregman hit his third homer of the spring in the sixth inning of a game Friday night against the New York Mets.NOTES: Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed Friday that Brad Peacock will be Houston’s No. 5 starter to open the season. … 1B AJ Reed was optioned to the minors. NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge’s wrist got a big hand.The reigning AL Rookie of the Year returned to right field for the first time since his right wrist was broken seven weeks ago, and the crowd of 40,138 at Yankee Stadium greeted him with a pair of standing ovations before the eighth inning of New York’s 11-0 romp over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.“Pretty crazy,” Judge said.Masahiro Tanaka (12-5), bidding to start a likely wild-card game against Oakland, extended his scoreless streak to 20 innings and won his third straight start.Judge did not have a chance in his two innings, and he is limited to defense and baserunning for now . Manager Aaron Boone said Judge could return as a fulltime player during this final homestand, which ends Sept. 23.“I was nervous out there just standing in the outfield,” Judge said. “Just getting those jitters out of the way now, it’s good. So when I get that first at-bat, it’ll be like I never left.”Judge had not played since July 26 http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , when he was hit by a pitch from Kansas City’s Jakob Junis . Judge said the wrist still has pain and won’t heal fully until the offseason.Judge high-fived a member of the grounds crew as fans applauded when he ran onto the field and was given another ovation a minute later when he was introduced by public address announcer Paul Olden. Judge ran to the base of the right-field wall after his warmup tosses — just in front of the Judge’s Chambers. He handed the ball to a woman in the first row who passed it to a widely smiling girl next to her.“You could feel the buzz there,” Boone said.Before the ninth, Judge tossed his warmup ball into the upper deck. New York originally projected he would sidelined by the injury for three weeks, but pain lingered and he missed 45 games.The tall, gregarious sophomore likely will have a simulated game next week before he bats in a real one.“In the dugout, just having him there and his presence being there, is felt throughout the whole team,” Andrew McCutchen said, McCutchen hit his third home run since the Yankees acquired him from San Francisco on Aug. 31 for outfield depth, a move that allowed Giancarlo Stanton to be mostly a designated hitter. McCutchen doubled leading off the first and scored New York’s first run and also singled and walked twice. To make room for Judge, McCutchen shifted to left for the first time since 2009 at Triple-A.“I finally got to watch him and Stanton take batting practice, and I saw some pretty impressive stuff,” McCutchen said. “I know the people who have been here all year, to them it’s probably normal. It’s not normal.”New York improved to 13-4 against Toronto this season and remained 1½ games ahead of the Athletics for home field in the wild-card game on Oct. 3. Dominating with a sharp splitter, Tanaka struck out eight in six innings and allowed four hits . Luis Severino and J.A. Happ also are possible starters against the A’a.“How they’re pitching in the final two weeks certainly matters,” Boone said. “We also take into account who we’re playing Anthony Rizzo Jersey , where we’re playing.”Luke Voit hit a two-run double that capped a five-run first inning against Marco Estrada (7-12), who tied a career worst by allowing eight runs and lasted just 2 2/3 innings. Didi Gregorius added his 24th homer , one shy of his career high.Toronto lost its fourth straight game and at 65-82 ensured consecutive losing seasons for first time since 2012-13.“We’re in a rebuild mode now, so you’re going to take your lumps,” manager John Gibbons said.FINISHING Luis Cessa got his second big league save . It was New York’s largest shutout win margin since a 15-0 victory over the Mets on June 14, 2009.TRAINER’S ROOMBlue Jays: RHP Joe Biagini was activated from the 10-day DL after recovering from a strained left oblique that had sidelined him since Aug. 31 and pitched a one-hit seventh. Toronto also reinstated C Russell Martin from paternity leave.Yankees: Injured closer Aroldis Chapman is to throw another bullpen session Saturday, a simulated game on Monday and then could be activated in the middle of next week, Chapman has not pitched in a game since Aug. 21 because of left knee tendinitis.UP NEXTLHP CC Sabathia (7-6, 3.54) starts for New York on Saturday and RHP Sean Reid-Foley (1-3, 6.86) for Toronto. Sabathia has pitched 139 2/3 innings and likely has four starts left. He would get a $500,000 bonus for 155 innings and another $500,000 in the unlikely event he reaches 165.
