The Chicago White Sox aren't as big of a spender as their crosstown rivals

. Theypeaked witha $127.8 million payroll in 2011 http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-orlando-arcia-jersey , andthey're projectedto be under $100 million in 2019.However, the White Sox do have one advantage. Only Tim Anderson has a guaranteed salary after 2020, and he won't be in line for eight figures until 2023.That long-term outlook will change if the White Sox make good on their spirited pursuit of Machado, who would be teaming up withgood pals Yonder Alonso and Jon Jay. He's likely to cost Chicago at least $25 million per year.For the most part, though, the White Sox's future rosters will mainly be comprised of young, cheap stars who they've accumulated throughout their rebuilding process. There thus could be enough room for both Machado and Trout, the latter of whom happens toown a1.157 career OPSat Guaranteed Rate Field.But while the White Sox could conceivably make Trout a competitive offer, their pockets might not be deep enough to make him the best offer. Like the Cubs, they also may be sidelined by his geographical preferences.Odds:15-1Los Angeles Dodgers3 of 9Victor Decolongon/Getty ImagesIf sticking in Southern California is a priority for Trout, he could always jump ship from the Angels to the Los Angeles Dodgers.The Dodgers had a year-end payroll of darn near $300 million four years ago, and their revenue streams include MLB's biggest local TV deal andbest attendance figures. To boot, only Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen are owed big money after 2020, and free agency will beckon both after 2021.Even if the Dodgers do win an elusive World Series championship in the next two years, that won't stop them from trying to win it every year. After years of frustration in Anaheim, Trout may only be too happy to climb aboard."You want to be in an atmosphere where [the organization] wants to win," he said this past September, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. "I want to come to the ballpark playing for something. That's everybody's goal here as a player. You don't want to come playing for nothing."Yet, the Dodgers' long-term books are so clean in part because they prefer short-term contracts. Per Bill Shaikin of theLos Angeles Times, they also want to stay under the luxury-tax threshold through 2022.These factors have effectively sidelined the Dodgers in the Bryce Harper sweepstakes this winter. History might repeat itself with the Trout sweepstakes in two years.Odds:10-1Washington Nationals4 of 9Alex Brandon/Associated PressAfter years of being joined at the hip with Harper in the public consciousness, it would be oddly ironic if Trout stepped into Harper's old shoes with the Washington Nationals.The Nats have been a reliable spender since their rise to power back in 2012, and their projected $199.4 million payroll for 2019 would betheir biggest yet. AsJayson Werth, Ryan Zimmerman, Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin can vouch, general manager Mike Rizzo isn't shy about handing out long-term megadeals.Albeit for a lot of money, Scherzer, Strasburg and Corbin are the only players guaranteed to still be on the Nats after 2020. The Nats might look to save some of the financial flexibility they'll gain between now and then for Trout.Trout would slide in between Juan Soto and Victor Robles to form the ultimate outfield. To boot Jesus Aguilar Jersey , he'd be playing only about three hours down the road from his hometown of Millville, New Jersey.However, the Nats may do their usual thing and act like a win-now team. That would entail extending Anthony Rendon and/or loading up on free agents after 2019. Doing so would inflate their payroll and make it that much harder to win a bidding war for Trout after 2020.Odds:8-1New York Yankees5 of 9Bill Kostroun/Associated PressThe Bronx is closer to Millville than Washington D.C. It's also the home of the New York Yankees, who traditionally spend a ton of money in pursuit of championships.Despite appearances to the contrary, so it goes even now. The Yankeesopened last year at $166.1 million, and while they've thus far avoided Machado and Harper, they're still projected to cross back over the $200 million threshold in 2019.The Yankees' alleged cheapness is more so an aversion to risk. As a result, only Giancarlo Stanton, Aroldis Chapman and Zach Britton are under contract past 2020. That would seem to equal plenty of room for Trout.For his part, Trout may be attracted not just to annual shots at World Series glory, but also the chance to play at Yankee Stadium. He's raked a 1.231 OPS in 20 career games there.However, the Yankees' long-term books might not stay clean for long. They're due to have some major holes to fill after 2019, and they might soon consider extensions for Aaron Judge and Luis Severino, among others.These factors could make the Yankees all the more willing to trust top prospect Estevan Florial to handle center field starting in 2020.Odds:7-1Boston Red Sox6 of 9Billie Weiss/Boston Red Sox/Getty ImagesCompared to other East Coast teams, the Boston Red Sox won't have proximity to Millville to offer Trout. If they want him, nothing less than the best offer will do.If Trout was a free agent right now, this would be impossible. The defending World Series champs are projected to open 2019 with a $238.4 million payroll, with a luxury-tax bill that's even higher. They can barely afford relief pitchers, much less a single superstar.Over the next two seasons, however, the Red Sox have a ton of money set to come off the books. Assuming J.D. Martinez opts out after 2019 or 2020, only David Price, Nathan Eovaldi, Dustin Pedroia and Christian Vazquez will still be under contract come 2021.With their farm system all dried out, the Red Sox won't have much choice but to spend if they want to keep pace with the Yankees. To this end, they could do worse than signing the best player in baseball.Then again, the Red Sox could just as easily take that sentiment and apply it to Mookie Betts. He's fresh off leading Trout and everyone else in WAR in 2018, and he's also due to become a free agent after 2020. If the Red Sox can't extend him before then http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-orlando-arcia-jersey , they might prioritize bringing him back over adding Trout.Odds:6-1Los Angeles Angels7 of 9Victor Decolongon/Getty ImagesIt wouldn't be too dramatic, but Trout staying with the Angels for the long haul is practical.Although Trout has played in only one postseason series and three playoff games since he's been with the Angels, he's nonetheless enjoyed himself."I enjoy coming to the ballpark. It [stinks] when it's September and you're out of it,"he said, per Fletcher."But when I was a kid, they took a chance on me. We'll see how it goes. I've got a couple more years and we'll go from there."If the Angels have it their way, Trout won't even reach free agency. According to Jon Heyman of Fancred, the Angels have mulled a contract that would keep Trout in Anaheim for the rest of his career.The Angels won't be out of the picture even if Trout does make it to free agency. Only the Dodgers have a bigger local TV deal to draw from, and the Angels will finally be free of Albert Pujols' albatross contract after 2021. Trout may also like the sound of a lasting partnership with two-way wunderkind Shohei Ohtani.There is, however, one team that looms as a bigger threat to steal Trout from the Angels than all the rest.Odds:5-1Philadelphia Phillies8 of 9Michael Perez/Associated PressAccording to Tom Verducci ofSports Illustrated, the Philadelphia Phillies went into this offseason with one eye on Harper and Machado and the other on Trout. Their ultimate dream scenario may involve Trout and Harper patrolling the same outfield one day.Joining Philadelphia may be Trout's own dream scenario. Philadelphia is less than an hour's drive from Millville. Trout grew up rooting for Philly teams, and he's made no secret of his ongoing Eagles fandom.It would take a lot of money to employ both HarperandTrout, but perhaps not more than the Phillies can afford. They peaked with a $177.7 million payroll in 2014, two years before their $2.5 billion TV deal kicked in. As of now, only Andrew McCutchen, Jean Segura, Odubel Herrera and Scott Kingery are under contractbeyond 2020.To complete their eventual pitch to Trout, the Phillies only need to become World Series contenders in the next two seasons. They took a step in that direction with an 80-win 2018 campaign. They now have a blend of youthful and veteran talent that should lead to further steps toward title contention.Altogether, the Phillies should be able to offer Trout everything he could ask for.Odds:4-1The Field9 of 9Rob Carr/Getty ImagesThose eight teams may look like the best bets to land Trout after 2020, but the field won't go down without a good fight.The Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers, for example, might attempt to keep Trout in the American League West. Though they each have their payroll limits, none of the three (see here, here and here) has much on the books beyond 2020.Over in the National League West, the San Francisco Giants should have a better idea of what their future looks like by 2020. If their current retooling phase points them in a good direction, they might jump the gun on their post-2021 payroll relief by signing Trout to be their next cornerstone superstar.Provided they make enough progress with their own rebuild over the next two years Travis Shaw Jersey , the Detroit Tigers might also return to their old big-spending ways to accommodate Trout. After all, only Miguel Cabrera is on their books after 2021.To throw a few more candidates out there,the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets and Atlanta Braves are contenders who might extend their finances for Trout.Odds:19-1 Stats courtesy ofBaseball Reference.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber says the goal each time he takes the mound is to give the Cleveland Indians a chance to win, rather than getting the W himself.The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner is doing pretty well in both departments.Kluber became the first 18-game winner in the majors this season, striking out 10 and pitching the Indians past the Kansas City Royals 3-1 Wednesday.“I don’t pay attention to it,” he said. “There’s going to be times things are out of your control. You might pitch fairly well and the guy on the other side pitches lights out.”“More so than actually getting the win, it’s giving our team a chance to win. That’s what I base things on,” he said.The Indians moved closer to a third straight AL Central title, and their magic number for clinching the division was reduced to eight when Minnesota lost at Houston on Wednesday night.Kluber (18-7) is a major reason the Indians will be playing again in October. He allowed one run and two hits in 6 2/3 innings. He was pulled after throwing 105 pitches.Kluber has won six of his last seven decisions and is a leading candidate to be chosen the league’s best pitcher for the third time in five seasons. Luis Severino of the Yankees was set to start Wednesday night at Oakland.“The last couple times out, seemed like he started to get the feel back. That’s fun to watch,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.Royals manager Ned Yost watched Kluber retire the first 10 hitters before Kansas City got its only two hits of the game.Alex Gordon lined a double on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth. Hunter Dozier struck out, but rookie Ryan O’Hearn’s long drive was over center fielder Greg Allen’s head and fell for an RBI triple.The right-hander struck out Jorge Bonifacio to get out of the brief jam and retired nine of the last 10 hitters he faced.Cleveland used three relievers to complete the two-hitter. Brad Hand struck out the side in the ninth for his eighth save since being acquired from San Diego and 32nd this season.The game began in sweltering conditions with the temperature at 91 degrees for the first pitch.Brad Keller (7-6) allowed three runs — one earned — in seven-plus innings and lost for the first time since Aug. 7.“I felt like my fastball was pretty good and I hydrated myself all last night, so once the adrenaline kicked in when I got out there, I felt pretty good the whole time,” he said.Edwin Encarnacion’s RBI grounder broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth. Allen’s RBI single in the second gave Cleveland a 1-0 lead before Kansas City tied it.Michael Brantley’s one-out single started the go-ahead rally. Shortstop Alcides Escobar couldn’t handle Yandy Diaz’s chopper and Brantley took third when the ball rolled into the outfield on the error. Encarnacion’s grounder put Cleveland ahead.Jason Kipnis had a sacrifice fly and two hits.Cody Allen, the Indians’ closer until Hand was acquired, struck out two and retired all three hitters in the eighth. Oliver Perez struck out the only batter he faced and Cleveland’s pitchers combined to fan 16.Royals right fielder Brett Phillips was out of the lineup after running full-speed into the wall chasing Jose Ramirez’s fly ball Tuesday. He was removed from the game an inning later. Phillips was diagnosed with a bruised right shoulder.DONALDSON PLANIndians 3B Josh Donaldson was scheduled to play for Double-A Akron against Altoona in the first game of the best-of-five Eastern League playoffs on Wednesday. He’s on the disabled list with a strained left calf, which has prevented him from playing in a major league game since May 28.Donaldson, acquired from Toronto on Friday, is eligible to be activated Sept. 11. It’s unclear how many minor league games he’ll play before joining the Indians.TRAINER’S ROOMRoyals: LHP Danny Duffy (sore shoulder) will not pitch again this season after leaving his Tuesday start in the first inning. Duffy was on the disabled list from Aug. 13-23 with a similar injury and recently received an anti-inflammatory shot.“The doctors said he can’t have another shot for a while, so it makes sense just to shut him down,” manager Ned Yost said.Indians: LHP Andrew Miller (sore shoulder) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Thursday in Toronto. He’s been on the disabled list since Aug. 29.UP NEXTRoyals: RHP Heath Fillmyer (2-1, 4.01 ERA) opens a three-game series Friday in Minnesota.Indians: RHP Shane Bieber (8-3, 4.66 ERA) starts Thursday at Toronto.
