Once again, they decided to keep one of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-25-highest-paid-players-for-2022-season-20220427-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lowest payrolls</a> in all of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-25-highest-paid-pitchers-in-2022-20220422-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a></strong> and traded away nearly every big-name player <strong>during the offseason.</strong></p>
<p>However, one of their most valuable assets is still on the team. right-hander SP <strong>Frankie Montas </strong>drew plenty of interest during the shortened offseason, yet the only pitcher they moved was <strong>Sean Manaea.</strong></p>
<p>Then again, that doesn’t mean that the new-look A’s <strong>won’t welcome <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-david-price-and-the-top-3-trade-candidates-in-2022-20220429-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a trade</a> for Montas </strong>at some point in the season. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 3 teams that should give them a call.</p>
<h2>MLB Trade Rumors: 3 Teams That Should Trade For Frankie Montas</h2>
<h3>3. Atlanta Braves</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220506_BUS_190194_frankie_montas_braves.jpg_631782975_5221ed5d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    The champions need help – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>World Series champions</strong> haven’t gotten off to the best start of the season. The<strong> Atlanta Braves </strong>have been widely inconsistent, and plenty of that has had to do with their starting rotation.</p>
<p><strong>Mike Soroka </strong>will be out for the foreseeable future and they could use another reliable arm on the mound. Montas is 2-2 with a 3.44 ERA over six starts, which is better than the<strong> 4.08 ERA</strong> (8th-worst) the Braves’ starters have posted thus far.</p>

<h3>2. Texas Rangers</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Texas Rangers</strong> committed half a billion dollars to their middle infield in the offseason. They proved that they want to compete and turn things around, yet they’re still several pieces away from contention.</p>
<p>But if <strong>Charlie Woodward’s </strong>team is for real, then they should look to improve that poor rotation, as neither of their starters is ace material. They’ve posted the sixth-worst ERA in the Majors (4.08) while also having the fifth-most walks (90).</p>

<h3>1. Boston Red Sox</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220506_BUS_190194_frankie_montas_red_sox.jpg_631782975_4e0017ab.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Chaim Bloom needs to pick up the phone- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The B<strong>oston Red Sox</strong> went to great lengths to improve their team in the offseason, yet they can’t seem to find any sort of consistency right now. Truth be told, they should look to improve nearly every aspect of their roster.</p>
<p>They have the 13th-highest ERA in the league at 3.81 but also have the <strong>sixth-fewest innings of work at just 231.1. </strong>Simply put, they need starters who can go deep in games and keep their terrible bullpen away from the mound.</p>

MLB Trade Rumors: Potential destinations for Frankie Montas - Bolavip US

<p>Once again, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-news-aaron-boone-is-concerned-about-unvaccinated-yankees-players-20220314-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Yankees</strong></a> failed to deliver the big-name player their fans were hoping for. They struck out on <strong>Trevor Story, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-the-most-likely-landing-spots-for-carlos-correa-20220225-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlos Correa</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-dodgers-plan-after-signing-freddie-freeman-20220317-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freddie Freeman</a></strong>. Moreover, they failed to make a run at any of the big-name pitchers in the free-agent market.</p>
<p>The Yankees’ true issues have come from the mound. They can rake like the best of them, and they sure improved their offensive production with the addition of <strong>Josh Donaldson. </strong>Their rotation, however, continues to be pedestrian at best.</p>
<p>That’s why, now that they’re officially out of the race for most top-tier hitters, they’ve finally shifted their attention to adding more pitching besides<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/gerrit-cole-earned-181k-per-out-in-wild-card-game-meltdown-20211006-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerrit Cole</a>.</strong> For that, they’re targeting <strong>Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas of the Oakland Athletics.</strong></p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: Yankees Targeting Frankie Montas And Sean Manaea</h2>
<p><em><strong>“Yankees, who checked in on Story, continue to focus on pitching. They remain one of many in on Montas/Manaea,”</strong></em> reported Jon Heyman of MLB Network.</p>
<h2><strong>Why Would The A’s Trade Either Of Them?</strong></h2>
<p><strong>(Transcript via Sports Illustrated)</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“It’s no secret that the A’s have been slashing payroll at a rapid pace this offseason. It all began prior to the lockout </strong>when Oakland allowed highly esteemed manager Bob Melvin, who was owed $4 million this season, walk to the San Diego Padres for zero compensation in return. And once the work stoppage concluded, the A’s front office went in full fire sale mode, sending Matt Olson to the Braves, Matt Chapman to the Blue Jays and Chris Bassitt to the Mets.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Manaea and Montas have been heavily involved in trade rumors for much of the offseason. And at this point, the rebuilding A’s appear to be more than willing to deal one, if not both of them.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Especially Manaea, who is entering his final year of arbitration and is projected to earn $10.2 million in 2022. As for Montas, he is under cheap control for two more seasons, which might cost teams more in assets<strong> if they wish to acquire him.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Hopefully,<strong> Brian Cashman </strong>will get a deal done. The race for the AL East will be one for the ages and there’s simply no way the Yankees can keep up with the rest of their division unless they finally add more firepower to that rotation.</p>

MLB Rumors: Yankees eyeing two starters from the A's

MLB Rumors: Yankees eyeing two starters from the A's - Bolavip US

<p><strong>John Madden</strong>(RIP, 1936-2021) ended his<strong>NFL</strong> coaching careerin 1978. It took him just 10 seasons to become an all-time great of this sport. During this time, he won a <strong>Superbowl</strong> with his beloved <strong>Oakland Raiders</strong>and achieved plenty ofrecords, included the highest career winpercentage by Head Coach inhistory (according to <em>ESPN Stats&amp; Info</em>). Buthis longest legacy was, curiously, outside the field, for exampleinthe video game industry with <strong><em>Madden NFL</em></strong>.</p>
<p>In 1988 the <strong><em>EA Sports</em></strong> companylaunchedone ofthe first video game titles about sports in history. Theconsoles that held thisnovelty were the Commodores 64 and 128, home computer models. The riskyundertaking needed a powerfulpublic personalityto lead the marketing campaign. There was no other like <em><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/25-highest-paid-coaches-in-american-sports-20211215-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Coach</a>.</em>So, it was settled that thename of thefootball videogamewas<em>John Madden Football</em>.</p>
<p>Despite a difficult starting, the video gameis now established as one of themost successfulseries ever with more than 250 million copies sold around the world and<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/the-25-top-earning-athletes-of-all-time-20211124-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">incomes over the 4 billion dollars</a>. Undoubtedly, Madden did it again: he put one of his creations in the hall of fame.</p>
<h2>Factsof Madden NFL’s videogame</h2>
<p>When <em>John Madden Football</em> was launchedEA Sports couldn’t obtain the license to use the official name of NFL teams and players, so the ones who appeared on the game werejust approaches to the real ones.</p>
<p>The legendary coachwas offered to buyunlimited stocksfor theinitial public offeringof EA but he decided not to accept. Years after, Madden regretted his action due to the game’s success:”<em>it was the dumbest thing I ever did in my life</em>“.</p>
<p>In the 90’s decade, there was a fierce competitor of this video game: an American video game developer, BlueSky Software, launched <em><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jerry-rice-explains-why-joe-montana-is-the-goat-ahead-of-tom-brady-20210119-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Joe Montana’</strong>s</a> Football</em>. The game transformed into a small series of 4 titles and then disappeared.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>It was in1993 when the game got a real upgrade: the license and permission of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-2021-22-playoff-format-how-the-football-postseason-will-be-played-20210913-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> were finally granted, so there were no more fake player, team and stadiums names. Also, thetitle passed from its original name to the one it holds currently,<em>Madden NFL</em>, and was adapted to be used on hand-held consoles, such as<em>Game Boy</em>.</p>
<p>In the year of 1998, <em>EA Sports</em>added the<em>Franchise Mode</em>to the game, one of the players all-time favorites. This option allows the player to control the totality of a team: contracts, draft picks, coaches hiring or removal, and strategy during the matches.</p>
<p>Since 2004, an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/how-to-watch-2021-nfl-pro-bowl-20210129-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official simulation of the Superbowl</a> is held through a <em>Madden NFL</em> match. From a total of 17 Superbowl gamessimulated, 11 of them were predicted right. However, of the last 5 clashes predicted, only 2 were correct.</p>
<p>In 2009, John Madden decided to end his participation as a commentary voice in the game.<em>The Coach</em>had to record multiple phrases and lines so that the game could simulate a realcoverage just as it were broadcasted live.</p>
<p>There was a trend known as the <em><strong>Madden Curse</strong></em> that involved theNFL players that appeared on the video game cover: usually, they suffered serious injuries or dramatically dropped their level after starringthe game. Stars like <strong>Marshall Faulk</strong>, <strong>Michael Vick</strong>,<strong>Donovan Mcnabb</strong>, <strong>Brett Favre</strong>, <strong>Troy Polamalu</strong> among others, were the victims.</p>

John Madden's legacy: The story of the famous videogame 'Madden NFL'

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLB</strong></a>, like any other competition in the US, is recognized not only because of its level but also for <strong>involving a lot of teams across the country</strong>. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a>, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mls-t16956" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> have this in common too. Anyways, in baseball’s elite level 30 franchises take part of the league andare spread throughout the big territory in different places.</p>
<p>However,<strong> there are some places which have more than one team taking part incompetitions</strong>. Not only there are several franchises inside a city or state playing different leagues, but also within the same tournament.</p>
<p><strong>California</strong> is one of those states that has within its territory more than one franchise taking part in a single competition. In this state, there are a number of teams that compete in baseball’s top league. <strong>Take a look at how many MLB teams are in California</strong>.</p>
<h2>San Diego Padres</h2>

<p></p></div>

<h2>The New York Giants refused to play the 1904 World Series</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Giants were the National League champion coming into the 1904 World Series but refused to play against the American League champion Boston Pilgrims because the Giants manager <strong>John McGraw considered the AL an “inferior league” and had personal issues with American League president Ban Johnson and declined to play.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Still, since 1905 the World Series has been played annually with only one exception in 1994 due to the players’ strike.</strong> For the exception of the 1919 – 1921 seasons, where the series was decided by the best of nine games, the fall classic has been played as a best of seven series.</p>
<h2>The New York Yankees win five consecutive World Series 1949-53</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>The Yankees are dominant no question about it, but in the late 40s and early 50s, they were downright unbeatable. </strong>The victims were the Dodgers in 5 games in 1949, the Phillies in 4 games in 1950, Giants in 6 games in 1951, the Dodgers again in 7 games in 1952, and the Dodgers once again in 6 games in 1953.</p>
<p><strong>This is the longest championship streak in MLB history</strong>, the Yankee roster had Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle on it during this run, while Yogi Berra and Phil Rizzuto were on all five championship teams.</p>

<p>Until the 1971 World Series, all games were played during the day, it was not until <strong>Game 4 between the Baltimore Orioles and the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three- Rivers stadium did a game officially begin in the evening hours.</strong></p>
<p>The game finished with a Pittsburgh 4-3 victory and 14 hits, <strong>The Orioles blew a 3-0 lead, and in the seventh inning the Pirates pulled through with a few one-out singles, and a clutch RBI single by Milt May.</strong></p>

<p>In 1973 when the American League adopted the designated hitter rule as a way to have teams have an extra experienced hitter hit over a pitcher <strong>from 1973 – 1975 the World Series was played without the rule in place for those games.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In 1976 when the DH was allowed it was strangely only allowed for even-numbered years only.</strong> In 1986 in the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets series, the rule was adopted for every World Series game played in AL stadiums.</p>

<p>In 1989 the series between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics became world news when <strong>in Game 3 a half-hour before first pitch and with ABC’s pregame on the air a 7.1 magnitude earthquake</strong> hit northeast of Santa Cruz, California.</p>
<p>63 people were killed as a result and there were incredible property and economic damage. The game was postponed and would be played on October 27 where Oakland won and would later complete a four-game sweep.</p>

<p><strong>For the first time in MLB history in 1992, the fall classic was played outside American soil</strong>, as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Atlanta Braves in six games. One year later the series returned to Toronto again, this time it was against the Phillies.</p>

<p><strong>In 2001 the World Series was played in November</strong>, the regular season was suspended for one week due to the September 11 attacks. Game 4 of the series was played on Halloween night, but because it went to extra innings, it ended in the early hours of November 1st.</p>
<p><strong>The game is famous because of Derek Jeter’s walk-off home run in the 10th inning that won the game for the Yankees and he became “Mr. November” </strong>as a homage to Reggie Jackson, who was “Mr. October” for his achievements during the 1977 World Series.</p>
