SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants and pitcher Ryan Vogelsong are moving forward into free agency, each prepared to explore their separate opportunities. http://www.cheapjerseyswholesale.top/ . At the same time, neither side is ruling out a reunion or coming back together at some point. The Giants declined to exercise Vogelsongs $6.5 million contract option for 2014 on Monday, but the parties agreed to keep open the possibility of potential negotiations down the road about a deal. "The doors open for dicussions with Vogelsong, but were not actively talking right now," assistant general manager Bobby Evans said Monday night. "Both sides are going to do some exploration of the market before we dive into that. I think it was somewhat the complexity of our overall needs going into the market ... to explore those fully, we need more time, and unfortunately we had to make a decision today." Vogelsong went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERA in 19 starts and 103 2-3 innings during an injury-shortened season. He broke two bones in the right pinkie area of his pitching hand and also dislocated a knuckle on a swing May 20 and underwent surgery the next day. He had five pins inserted in his hand during the procedure at Stanford, performed by orthopedist Dr. Tim McAdams. Vogelsong won 13 and 14 games, respectively, the previous two seasons. He is due a $300,000 buyout. Evans said the Giants didnt offer Vogelsong a contract with a lower guaranteed salary. "We did not put anything on the table. Theres no formal process where we go from here," Evans said. "I think Ryan has always had interest in being a Giant, but he has the opportunity to explore other options. Today doesnt eliminate his chances of coming back." San Francisco has been in discussions with lefty reliever Javier Lopez, and Evans expects him to explore his options in free agency. "Theres an open mind about what could happen and were going to maintain contact," Evans said. The Giants already declined their 2014 options on Saturday for $126 million left-hander Barry Zito -- $18 million with a $7 million buyout -- and outfielder Andres Torres for $3 million with a $500,000 buyout. Yet with starters Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner each signed to long-term deals and two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum landing a $35 million, two-year contract Oct. 25. "These are three mainstays of our rotation, not only for the immediate past but going forward," Evans said. "This is the core of a solid rotation and we want to explore options on the market to make it better." In addition Monday, Evans said Giants 17-year-old outfielder Gustavo Cabrera -- a top prospect in the organization from last years international free-agent class -- flew to San Francisco for emergency surgery after an injury in his Dominican Republic home. The way Evans understands it, upon returning home from instructional league Cabrera slipped and tried to break his fall by raising his right arm but it went through glass and he nearly severed his wrist. The Giants top team of doctors worked on Cabrera, who is now able to move his fingers again. "How he flew to San Francisco in immense pain, Ill never know, a brave young man," Evans said. "Hes 17 years old. I dont think its career-threatening. We could be looking at a year or more of rehab to get him back to baseball activity." A right-handed hitter Cabrera batted .247 with two home runs, seven doubles, four triples and 22 RBIs with 21 stolen bases in 54 games for the Giants Dominican Summer League team this year. cheapjerseyswholesale .

Crazy trick shot from a moving vehicle "Hey Yeezy, how about putting my kid in the game!!??!!?" And for the bonus vine, heres how Zidane would say happy birthday.For the second straight week, the Philadelphia Phillies hold the top spot in the TSN.ca MLB Power Rankings. The Phillies not only have the best record in baseball and third-best run differential, but they also got right-handed pitcher Roy Oswalt back from the disabled list. While Oswalts first start in six weeks resulted in a loss that snapped Philadelphias nine-game winning streak, and hes not having a banner season, hes still better than a replacement-level starting pitcher. Among those moving up, the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers have positive experiences with call-ups, both rising five spots to 15 and 16, respectively. The Reds have inserted Todd Frazier and Yonder Alonso (at least part-time) into the lineup, providing a boost for a squad that is still missing the starting left side of the infield, while 21-year-old Dodgers pitcher Nate Eovaldi was impressive in his big league debut and might fill the void created by Rubby De La Rosa undergoing Tommy John surgery. HHeading the wrong way in the rankings, the Pittsburgh Pirates have lost ten in a row, falling from 16 to 19. cheapjerseyswholesale.top. Amazing what a couple of weeks can do to ruin good vibes created over four months. The Rockies are left with a patchwork rotation, having traded Ubaldo Jimenez and losing Juan Nicasio to neck surgery, so theyve fallen from 21 down to 26, while the Nationals slipped from 17 to 22, in part because they were passed by the Reds and Dodgers climbing a little. The Toronto Blue Jays are up to a respectable 12th spot in the rankings, their highest in seven weeks and a placement that the Blue Jays have surpassed twice all season. A 13-9 record since the All-Star break, along with additions of Colby Rasmus and Brett Lowrie, provides reason for optimism, even for the fourth-place team in baseballs toughest division.
