NEW YORK (AP) — Logan Morrison agreed to a minor league contract Friday with the New York Yankees, who sought another first base option with Greg Bird again on the injured list.If added to the 40-man roster, Morrison would get a one-year contract with a $1 million salary while in the major leagues.Morrison told the Tampa Bay Times in July 2017 that Yankees catcher Gary Sánchez did not deserve to be in the All-Star Home Run Derby after missing 21 games between April 8 and May 5 because of a strained right biceps."It's par for the course. I play for the Rays. I get it," Morrison told the newspaper then. "They can't even get my picture right. When they put my name up there they put Corey (Dickerson's) picture up there ... on MLB Network. When they put up the home run leaders they put Corey's swing on there not mine."In April 2018 before playing at Yankee Stadium with the Minnesota Twins, Morrison was quoted criticizing Yankees fans."They didn't like the Gary Sánchez thing with the Home Run...

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Khris Davis is hardly comfortable with the kind of attention and fanfare the Athletics pulled out Friday to honor him for opting to stay in Oakland.So it was quite a scene when the understated slugger raised his arms high as teammates and A's employees cheered and clapped when he entered the room."Yeah, it feels amazing, it's incredible, they're going to make fun of me all day for this," Davis said with a smile Friday, a day after the announcement of his deal adding $33.75 million that runs through 2021.Davis got his big day — at last. He was patient for months, stayed focused on clearing the fences instead of cashing checks, all while showing Oakland's front office it needed to get a new deal done to keep the majors' reigning home run leader around for the foreseeable future."I don't seek attention, I guess, I'm not an attention seeker," Davis said.His 10 home runs entering Friday's game against Toronto was tied for most in baseball.The 31-year-old designated hitter...

ST. PETERBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have traded catcher Blake Swihart to the Arizona Diamondbacks along international bonus pool space for minor league outfielder Marcus Wilson.The teams announced the deal Friday.Swihart was designated for assignment Tuesday. He is 6 for 26 (.231) with one home run and four RBIs in 12 games this season, making all six of his starts at catcher. He has also played at first base and left field.Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen worked in player development and amateur scouting with Boston when Swihart was selected in the first round of the 2011 draft. The 27-year-old became one of the club's top prospects, but his offensive production hasn't matched the hype.Wilson was a second-round pick in 2014. The 22-year old has a .255 average with a .727 OPS in 391 minor league games, including 12 this year at Double-A.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports |

I am going to cherish every single second I am able to play this game.
