of the Bronx Bombers' pursuing Bryce Harper in free agency.In an interview with TMZ Sports on Monday Dwight Gooden Jersey , Judge was firmly behind the idea of adding the superstar slugger to the fold:"Anytime you can add an MVP to a team, it's going to make them better," Judge said.Judge even suggested he would be willing to move out of his right field spot to accommodate Harper: "Wherever he wants to play, wherever he wants to playe'll make it work."The Yankees have not been linked to Harper recently, and Gabe Lacques of USA Today listed the San Diego Padres, Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago White Sox as the four finalists to sign him Monday.If New York did sign Harper, though, it would require some creativity on the part of manager Aaron Boone.Either Judge or Harper could move to left field while Aaron Hicks mans center, Giancarlo Stanton serves as the designated hitter and Brett Gardner settles into a role as an extra outfielder.The Yankees don't need another big bat in their already stacked lineup http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-orlando-arcia-jersey , but Harper would give them the type of lefty power swing that plays perfectly at Yankee Stadium.Judge, Stanton and Harper would form one of the best power-hitting trios in recent memory.Stanton and Judge are two seasons removed from 59- and 52-homer efforts, respectively.Stanton clubbed 38 in his first season as a Yankee, while Judge finished with 27 in just 112 games.Harper hit .249 with 34 home runs and 100 RBI with the Nats last season, but his career high came in his MVP season of 2015 when he hit 42 out of the park.Although it is difficult to envision that the Yankees will pursue Harper given how active they have already been in free agency, he would be a game-changing signing who would aid significantly in closing the gap between New York and the rival Boston Red Sox. ST. LOUIS (AP) — Austin Gomber learned plenty about pressure during a 15-game stint in the St. Louis Cardinals‘ bullpen earlier this season.The left-hander used that experience to his advantage on Wednesday night.Gomber tossed six shutout innings in his fourth start of the year, Marcell Ozuna homered and the Cardinals won their season-high eighth straight game, 4-2 over the Washington Nationals.The Cardinals, who are 18-9 since the All-Star break, captured their sixth successive series after taking the first three of the four-game set.Gomber gave up three hits Jesus Aguilar Jersey , struck out six and walked four.

It’s just something that you’ve got to become more comfortable with.”Gomber ended his 99-pitch outing by striking out three successive batters after giving up a leadoff double to Bryce Harper in the sixth.“This guy gets after it,” St. Louis interim manager Mike Shildt said. “He’s not going to back down from anyone.”Gomber (3-0) struck out Michael A.

Bader scampered home on a wild pitch in the fifth inning for a 2-0 lead.“We’ve known all year that we’re capable of playing this type of baseball,” Bader said. “It’s nice to see it come out in between the white lines.
