Three teams have reportedly emerged as suitors for Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer.According to Ken Rosenthal and Jim Bowden of The Athletic Drew Butera Jersey , the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres have all expressed interest in the right-handed hurler.ESPN.com'sJerry Crasnickalso reported Saturday that talks surrounding Archer were "intensifying." He added that the Rays have placed a "No. 1 starter type of price tag" on the 29-year-old veteran.Archer is a two-time All-Star who comes with a club-friendly contract.PerSpotrac, Archer is under team control through the 2021 season. He will make $7.5 million in 2019, and there are club options for $8.3 million in both 2020 and 2021.Despite his strong stuff, Archer has largely struggled this season. He is just 3-5 with a 4.31 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 17 starts. If his ERA and WHIP remain at their current levels, they will be the worst numbers of his career over the course of a full season.Archer does have 102 strikeouts in 96 innings, though, and his FIP of 3.62 suggests he has been unlucky.After posting an ERA of 3.33 or better in three straight seasons from 2013-2015, Archer is in the midst of his third consecutive season with an ERA over 4.00.Archer does have a FIP of 3.81 or lower in each of the past three campaigns, however.In different surroundings with better defensive play supporting him http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , Archer may have the ability to be an ace-caliber pitcher down the stretch in 2018 and beyond.While the Yankees recently acquired starter J.A. Happ from the Toronto Blue Jays, they could use another starter to support Luis Severino, Masahiro Tanaka and CC Sabathia since Sonny Gray is struggling mightily this season.New York entered play Saturday trailing the Boston Red Sox by five games in the AL East, but they have a stranglehold on the No. 1 wild-card spot in the American League.The Dodgers have also already made a splash on the trade market by dealing with the Baltimore Orioles for shortstop Manny Machado.Ross Stripling and Kenta Maeda have been pleasant surprises for L.A. on the mound this season, but with ace Clayton Kershaw spending so much time on the disabled list, Archer would offer some much-needed insurance in the starting rotation.The Dodgers entered Saturday with a 1.5-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West.Unlike the Yankees and Dodgers, the Padres are not in contention, as they are last in the NL West at 42-64.Dealing for Archer would be a move for the future, but it could pay dividends considering the Padres have a lot of young talent that could come into its own over the next few seasons.With few top-flight starting pitching options available on the trade market, the Rays stand to secure a huge haul if they decide to part with Archer. It’s September Cheslor Cuthbert Jersey , so it’s time for Terrance Gore.The 5-foot-7 speedster has resurfaced with the Chicago Cubs, who purchased his contract from Triple-A Iowa when rosters expanded Saturday. Like the Royals previously, the Cubs will have a chance to turn Gore loose on the bases. The 27-year-old outfielder has played in 50 games in his major league career. He has 11 at-bats, zero hits, 14 runs and 21 stolen bases.Gore made his big league debut with Kansas City in 2014 and had a handful of appearances for the Royals over the past four years. He was traded to the Cubs last month, and they brought him up from the minors when rosters expanded. Of Gore’s 50 big league games in the regular season, 43 have come after the start of September. When rosters expand, there’s more room for a player like Gore, who is about as one-dimensional as they come but can clearly help as a pinch runner.The roster squeeze is tighter in the playoffs, but the Royals kept Gore for their postseason runs in 2014 and 2015. The Cubs have the best record in the National League at the moment Brian Flynn Jersey , but they can use Gore’s skill set. They’re tied for 12th in the NL with 56 stolen bases. They’ve also been caught stealing 35 times, the most of any team in the league.Gore is a slightly less extreme version of Herb Washington, Oakland’s baserunning specialist from 1974-75. Washington had 31 steals in his major league career without a single plate appearance. He wasn’t as efficient as Gore, however. Washington was caught stealing 17 times. That’s only happed four times to Gore.Other developments from around the majors:TRIPLE THREAT?A torrid second half has J.D. Martinez making a bit of a Triple Crown bid in the American League. The Boston slugger leads the league with 115 RBIs and is second with 39 homers, one behind Oakland’s Khris Davis. Martinez is also hitting .337, just three points behind teammate Mookie Betts, the league leader.Martinez has never batted higher than .315 in a season, but he’s hitting .359 since the All-Star break, and that has put him in the mix for what would be a surprising batting title. The last seven batting titles in the AL have gone to either Jose Altuve or Miguel Cabrera. Altuve is still a threat this year at .321.When Cabrera won the Triple Crown in 2012, he took MVP honors in a hotly debated race against Mike Trout. Martinez may face an uphill climb for that award http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , since he has played only 48 games in the field this year.HIGHLIGHTSThe Dodgers, Diamondbacks and Rockies are in a tight race atop the NL West, meaning their head-to-head matchups are crucial. Los Angeles just took three of four from Arizona, with each win by the same score of 3-2. Matt Kemp delivered the decisive hit in each of the final two games — an eighth-inning homer Saturday and a two-run double in the ninth Sunday. Los Angeles also won in its last at-bat Friday, on an eighth-inning homer by Justin Turner.The first-place Dodgers lead Colorado by a half-game and Arizona by one.LINE OF THE WEEKMilwaukee’s Christian Yelich went 6 for 6 and hit for the cycle Wednesday night in a 13-12, 10-inning victory over Cincinnati. Then over the weekend, he came up with a nice encore, hitting his first career grand slam in Sunday’s 9-4 win over Washington.
