It also discusses the importance of cementing a foundation in those various places to continue the reach that they have. Asked which players in the organization to keep an eye on C. J. Cron Jersey , Seguignol, himself a former major-leaguer, replies, “[Jose] Devers, he is an exciting player...he is going to be one of the top guys that we need to follow.” The former Expo then goes on to mention some of the tools that make the 18-year-old—acquired in the Giancarlo Stanton trade—a player worth watching: “His speed. His bat. He is very athletic; we are all very excited about him.” Marlins Prospect Jose DeversPhoto by Jeff MillsAt the end of the interview, host Craig Mish asks what the next couple of months before Spring Training willlook like, and Seguignol jokingly responds, “In the international market http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , we don’t sleep, we never stop.” He then adds how happy he is to have taken the role with the organization and that he is looking forward to helping in any way possible,The serious answer to the question follows, as the pair then discuss a tryout to be held in Latin America for kids under 18 to showcase their talent. Team scouts are also flying to Japan in a couple of days for the MLB Japan All-Star Tour that runs from November 8th up to the 15th, to check out the best players over there.Seguignol is seemingly dedicated to improving the international side of the business, something that was not a focal point with previous ownership. With the diversity in Miami, the team should be a destination for all international signees. If you’d like to listen to the podcast for yourself, click below. Dilip Vishwanat/Getty ImagesAt least one MLB general manager believes Washington Nationals superstar outfielder Bryce Harper will leave the organization as a free agent this offseason to sign with the NL East rival Philadelphia Phillies.On Thursday Jonny Venters Jersey , Jon Heyman of Fancred reported the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants are among the other clubs linked to Harper, but the unnamed executive is predicting he'll land in Philly."I think Harper winds up with the Phillies," the GM told Heyman.The 25-year-old Las Vegas native, who struggled in the months leading up to the All-Star Game, has come alive since the Midsummer Classic. He's posted a .352/.448/.682 triple-slash line with seven home runs in 88 at-bats after winning the Home Run Derby.His track record includes an NL MVP Award for the 2015 season and six All-Star selections, which will make him a coveted commodity this winter.Although Harper hasn't discussed his potential suitors Matt Moore Jersey , the slugger acknowledged last month that he could leave the Nats."It's always a possibility. Everyone knew that at the beginning of the year鈥攖his could possibly be my last year in D.C," hetold reporters. "There's no elephant in the room. Everybody knows that's a possibility."Choosing to leave Washington to join Philadelphia, a club the Nationals will likely be battling atop the NL East for the foreseeable future, would be a bold move, not to mention make him public enemy No. 1 among baseball fans in the nation's capital.The Phillies have turned the corner in their rebuilding efforts on the strength of their pitching staff. Their lineup still needs work, however, as evidenced by ranking 20th in runs scored this season.Harper would provide a major boost should he choose Philly before the 2019 campaign.
