According to Thomas Harding, they will, uh, sign Mark Reynolds to a minor league contract – with an invite to Spring Training. Better than nothing!The 35-year-old Reynolds – also known as the Sheriff of Swattingham and http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey , apparently, also as Skeletor and Forrest Gump – played for the Rockies during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, proving to be a pretty valuable bat. In 2018 he played for the Washington Nationals and didn’t have a bad year overall. Reynolds hit .248/.328/.476 in 86 games and 235 plate appearances. The Nationals didn’t rely on him though, as he started just 42 games, 36 of them at first base. My guess is that the Rockies aren’t bringing Reynolds back with the hope that he’ll get a lot reps in the majors. My hope is that Reynolds is going to be an emergency option in the event of an injury. My fear is that he’ll take playing time away from Ryan McMahon. My curiosity wants to know where the Skeletor sobriquet came from. Spring Training isn’t too far away, so we’ll gain some clarity on these important matters soon enough. The 2018 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers begins with a heavyweight pitching matchup.Left-handed pitchers Chris Sale and Clayton Kershaw will go head-to-head in Tuesday's opener at Fenway Park.Boston is attempting to finish off an incredible season, as it earned home-field advantage in the World Series by way of a 108-54 regular-season record.Los Angeles has been a championship-caliber team for the last few years, but it's still in search of ending its 30-year championship drought.World Series Game 1 InformationStart Time:8:09 p.m. ETTV:FoxLive Stream:Fox Sports Go or Fox Sports App.Aces Dueling in World Series OpenerGame 1 should be a showcase of two of the best arms in baseball.If they are their normal selves on the mound http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey , Sale and Kershaw should be locked into a pitching duel for the ages.Sale enters as the fresher of the two pitchers, as he last took the mound for Game 1 of the ALCS against the Houston Astros.In three career Game 1 starts, Sale has given up 11 earned runs, seven of which came in his first postseason start in the 2017 ALDS against Houston.Elise Amendola/Associated PressAlthough it's a small sample size because he's spent his career in the American League, Sale hasn't performed well against the Dodgers, as he's given up seven earned runs on nine hits in six innings.However, Sale can be tough to hit inside Fenway Park, as he is 12-6 with a 2.83 ERA and 235 strikeouts at his home stadium.Game 1 marks the 10th time Kershaw's kicked off a series for the Dodgers Roberto Perez Jersey , and he'll be looking to replicate his performance from the World Series opener a year ago.Matt Slocum/Associated PressKershaw tossed seven superb innings to hand the Dodgers an early advantage in the World Series against Houston.Kershaw has even less familiarity with his opponent than Sale, as Tuesday marks the first time he'll toe the rubber at Fenway Park.Based off what we expect from the two aces, Game 1 will be tight with few runners reaching scoring position, which means it will most likely come down to the bullpens once Sale and Kershaw are finished their respective outings. How Will Roberts Align Dodgers Order?Dodgers manager Dave Roberts toyed with his lineup throughout the NLCS victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in order to find the best combination possible.Roberts used four different leadoff hitters in the final four games of the NLCS, and given the matchups ahead in the World Series, he'll tinker with his order more.The Dodgers are expected to use a lineup dominated by right-handed hitters with Sale on the mound, which means David Freese and Matt Kemp will start Game 1.However, the inclusion of one right-handed hitter might be Roberts' toughest decision to make Eddie Robinson Jersey , as Yasiel Puig is a .250 hitter versus left-handed pitching, but he's coming off a three-hit performance in Game 7 of the NLCS.Jeff Roberson/Associated PressThe designated-hitter role gives Roberts some flexibility in the first two games, which opens up the possibility for Puig to occupy an outfield position.The Dodgers also have more positional flexibility than the Red Sox, as Chris Taylor and Cody Bellinger can be aligned in the infield or outfield.For Game 1, Roberts should let Taylor lead off with Justin Turner and Freese directly beneath him in the order.The Dodgers manager will also find a way to put Puig in the bottom third of the lineup because of his hot bat.Even though the Dodgers face left-hander David Price in Game 2, Roberts could come out with a different lineup depending on how Game 1 goes.
