The Atlanta Braves never reached terms with 2018 No. 8 draft overall pick Carter Stewartand were reportedly expecting to receive the No. 9 overall pick in 2019 as compensation http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-randal-grichuk-jersey , while Stewart would re-enter the draft pool next year.But according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic,Stewart is attempting to become a free agent, and "the Major League Baseball Players' Association filed a grievance on behalf of Stewart, saying the Braves did not make him the financial offer necessary for them to receive the compensation pick, according to major league sources."According to Rosenthal, "some involved with the case view him as a long shot to prevail in the dispute," with his hearing set to continue at a later date.He added, "To secure a compensation pick Jose Bautista Jersey , a team must offer a player 40 percent of his assigned slot value. Baseball set the value of the No. 8 pick at $4,980,700, meaning the Braves' final offer to Stewart had to be a minimum of $1,992,280."The Braves reportedly planned to sign Stewart below his slotted value in order to sign pitcherZack Hess, whom they drafted in the 34th round, to a contract higher than his allotted slot. But after discovering aligament issue in his right wrist Troy Tulowitzki Jersey , the Braves chose against signing Stewart, lost the money allotted to his draft slot and were also unable to sign Hess.Stewart, 18, was considered one of the top arms in the 2018 draft, withManny Randhawaof MLB.com comparing the 6'6", 200-pounder to Rick Porcello and writing the following scouting report on the young pitcher:"He has been as lights out as any prep arm in the country, coming out of the gate throwing up to 98 mph. The right-hander touches 96-97 mph in just about every start and easily sits at 92-94 mph. He has one of the best breaking balls in the class, a power curve that is now a mid-80s hammer. While Stewart's changeup is behind right now鈥攁nd he occasionally slows his arm down鈥攈e has feel for it and it should be a solid pitch in the future."If Stewart isn't awarded free agency Marcus Stroman Jersey , the Braves will keep their No. 9 compensatory pick. But if Stewart is awarded free agency, he'll be free to sign with any team, likely creating a market for himself that would exceed the slotted contract he would receive in next year's draft.It's unclear if Stewart will return to Mississippi State or attend a junior college if he isn't awarded free agency. Mark Brown/Getty ImagesNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Friday he is "very optimistic" right fielder Aaron Judge will return this season, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.However, Boone cautioned there is still no timetable in place.Judge, 26, was initially diagnosed with a chip fracture in his right wrist July 26. The Yankees placed him on the 10-day disabled list and announced he would miss at least three weeks.Judge has progressed slowly since then and, as ofTuesday http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-devon-travis-jersey , was still not swinging a bat.In the meantime, the Yankees haveacquiredoutfielder Andrew McCutchen from the San Francisco Giants to help fill the void in right field.The 2013 National League MVP, McCutchen logged a solid .798 OPS, four home runs and 11 RBI in August. On the season, he's hitting .255 with 15 homers, 55 RBI and 13 stolen bases.He will now team up with Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar to bolster New York's batting order as the Yankees try to maintain a grip on the American League Wild Card lead.
