Welcome, to yet another “ Monday’s with Marvin !” Today, we recap what happened in the past week of sports !
NBA:
Hey! Maybe all this Knicks (9-25) losing, we can get the first pick! KP is unfortunately not coming back until February, for the Knickerbockers, though it does improve their lottery chances .
The Knicks went 0-2 this week, with losses to the 76ers (22-12) and Hawks (9-23).
Meanwhile, the Nets (16-19)are on fire !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
They won 7 straight, before losing to Pacers (22-12) on Friday night, but fended off the Phoniex Suns (8-26) yesterday, 111-103 at Barclays Center !
Spencer Dinwidee continues to lead the Nets charge !
NHL:
The Rangers , (15-14-5), continue to consistently lose, as they are now a combined 3-8 in their last eleven games .
The more the losses, the farther the Blueshirts fall out of the playoff pictures
The Islanders,(18-13-4), continue to be hot led by Mathew Barzel!!!!
They continue to remain in the thick of the playoff race , coming up with wins , when they need to!
For the sake of NY hockey, keep it up Isles!!!!!
MLB:
Some crazy moves !!!!!
Pitcher Kendel Gravemen has signed a 1 year 500K deal with the Chicago Cubs . My guess is that they will put him in the bullpen for 2019.
If you haven’t heard already, starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez , has signed with the Washington Nationals , for 2 years $19 million. They will use him in replacement for Tanner Roark , whom they traded to the Reds.
Mike Fiers is headed back to the A’s for 2 years $14-15 million.
TRADES:
OF Domingo Santana is headed to the Mariners in a trade for OF Ben Gamal and a prospect. Another OF for Seattle, who is really banking on their outfield in their rebuild.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 BLOCKBUSTER!!!
Yesss! A stunning Trade is apon us an it’s franchise star from the LA Dodgers, in Yasuiel Puig!
Reds get:
Puig
1B Matt Kemp
Reliver Alex Wood
Catcher Kyler Farmer
A prospect
Cash
Dodgers get :
3 prospects, ( They released one of them , so it’s 2)
Why did the Dodgers do that?
To make room for another franchise star in BRYCE HARPER!!!!!
They have cap space now for him!!!
TRADE RUMORS:
The Dodgers are “ Series talks “ with the Indians, for acquiring CORY KLUBER!!!
That would be crazy, if it happens! From an MLB fan perspective, yesss !
The San Diego Padres, are in” Serious talks “ with the Toronto Blue Jays , for acquiring Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman.
Machado update :
Manny will make his decision after the new year .
The Cubs have asked Harpers Camp not to sign with anyone, until they clear some cap space. How they do that, remains to be seen.
