Ralph Freso/Getty ImagesIn a widely expected move Bryce Harper Jersey , the Arizona Diamondbacks picked up the $14.5 million club option for first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reported Monday.Goldschmidt averaged .290 and slugged .533 while posting 33 home runs and 83 RBI in 2018. His 5.1 WAR ranked 18th among MLB position players, per FanGraphs.Picking up Goldschmidt's option was a no-brainer for Arizona. According to Spotrac, he'll be theninth-highest-paidfirst baseman in baseball along with Matt Carpenter next season. Goldschmidt's salary is a bargain relative to his production.The big question is whether the Diamondbacks look to cash in on Goldschmidt's trade value before he hits free agency in 2020.After notching 93 victories and reaching the National League Division Series in 2017, Arizona went 82-80 in 2018. The team finished 9.5 games back of the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers and 8.5 games out of the last wild-card spot.The franchise may be trending downward next year, especially considering it could lose A.J. Pollock and Patrick Corbin as free agents this winter.In September, general manager Mike Hazen didn't say one way or the other whether the Diamondbacks might start tearing down their roster this offseason, perNick Piecoroof theArizona Republic:"I don't have an answer for that right now.There's obviously a myriad of avenues and realities that we're going to talk through. We have a solid core of talent on this team and for the majority of the season we've been in first place. We're going to start [in] the next few weeks to really [assess] where we stand. I think that will dictate what happens next."Even though he's entering the final year of his contract, trading Goldschmidt would likely mean receiving a top prospect or two to get a rebuild underway.Of course, the Diamondbacks could trigger a long-term rebuilding plan and re-sign Goldschmidt anyway Stephen Strasburg Jersey , using him as a veteran leader much like how the Cincinnati Reds lean on Joey Votto. Piecoro speculated Goldschmidt might prefer to stay in Arizona rather than leave for a bigger market.Locking Goldschmidt in for 2019 was the easy part for Hazen and the Diamondbacks front office. The hard part is deciding what to do next. BOSTON — Having rallied to win a game played in a playoff atmosphere on Friday, the Houston Astros bring Charlie Morton off the disabled list to start against the Boston Red Sox in the second game of a three-game series at Fenway Park Saturday.The defending world champions could do nothing against David Price, but scored three runs in the seventh inning and three more in the eighth to win their sixth straight and end Boston’s five-game winning streak in the opener of a series that could be repeated in the postseason.The game had a playoff feel to it as the fan intensity was increased by the presence of a large number of Houston fans proudly wearing their orange and battling with the locals all night.Article continues below ...Asked after the game if it was special getting a road win against a very good team, Houston manager AJ Hinch, whose team is 3 1/2 games ahead of the Oakland A’s in the American League West, said, “Special? It’s just another win. It really is just another win. We’re chasing down a division title. Special? It’s nice to win in the big leagues, but nothing more than a game in September.”Now Hinch sends Morton, who has been out with right shoulder discomfort, and his 13-3 record and 3.14 ERA out to face Boston’s Eduardo Rodriguez http://www.nationalsfanproshop.com/authentic-gio-gonzalez-jersey , who comes in 12-3 with a 3.34 ERA.Morton is 2-1 with a 4.60 ERA in three career starts against the Red Sox, but that loss came June 3 at Houston when Boston reached him for six runs, including two home runs, in 5 1/3 innings. That was his first loss of the season after a 7-0 start.He is 1-0 in one career start at Fenway.Rodriguez, who came off the disabled list (sprained ankle) Sept. 1, has allowed just one run on 13 hits in 22 2/3 innings over his last four starts. He came off the DL with 12 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings, defeating the Chicago White Sox last Saturday.The left-hander is 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA in two career starts against the Astros.Price, who missed a start after getting hit on the left wrist with a line drive, was masterful, striking out 10 in 6 1/3 innings Friday. But Ryan Brasier quickly surrendered the lead in the seventh. The Red Sox re-tied the game before the Astros scored three in the eighth off Joe Kelly to go to 13-4 in their last 17 road games. They are a major league-best 48-21 on the road.“I felt good Anthony Rendon Jersey ,” Price said when asked about being pulled with two runners on base in the seventh. “I’m never going to take myself out of a game. I didn’t get the job done. If I don’t want to come out in that situation, don’t have anyone on base and just go out there and pitch better.”Red Sox hitters have some impressive numbers against Morton. Mitch Moreland is 3-for-4 (.750) with a home run, Steve Pearce is 4-for-7 (.571), Ian Kinsler 3-for-7 (.429), Andrew Benintendi 2-for-5 (.400), Xander Bogaerts 3-for-9 (.333) and new arrival Brandon Phillips 13-for-43 (.302). J.D. Martinez is 2-for-9 (.222).The current Astros have just 30 at-bats against Rodriguez, but Carlos Correa and Marwin Gonzalez are each 3-for-3. Overall, the current roster is a combined 12-for-30 (.400) with a homer and six RBIs against the veteran left-hander.Gonzalez, out with right oblique discomfort, is expected to return Saturday http://www.nationalsfanproshop.com/authentic-daniel-murphy-jersey , while Hector Rondon, hit on the right hand with a comebacker earlier in the week, pitched Friday night.Lance McCullers, on the disabled list for the last month with a right elbow problem, is expected to throw a bullpen Saturday en route to a return. When he comes back, he is slated to go to the bullpen.The news wasn’t as good for the Red Sox, who announced Dustin Pedroia underwent another knee operation in July and is officially done for the season. That was the indication when Boston acquired Ian Kinsler, but there was no word on the new surgery.The Red Sox were also without reliever Matt Barnes Friday night. The righty is dealing with left hip inflammation and had an MRI Thursday.
