TOKYO (AP) — Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto isn’t letting trade rumors become a distraction either at home or in Japan http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-addison-reed-jersey , where he is currently part of an MLB All-Star tour.Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill has dismissed talk about trading Realmuto, but the catcher’s agent, Jeff Berry, predicted his client will be with a different team by spring training.“It’s not a discussion for me to have, honestly,” Realmuto said Friday. “It’s not my decision whether I get traded or not. It’s up to the Marlins. Whatever they want to do with me, that’s up to them. So for me http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-mauer-jersey , there is really no discussion to be had. My job is to show up and play baseball.”Hill declined to say whether Realmuto informed the Marlins he won’t sign a long-term contract with them.The Astros, Angels, Athletics, Braves, Mets and Nationals are among the teams seeking an upgrade behind the plate.“To be honest, I am trying not to think about that too much right now,” Realmuto said. “I’m just out here trying to have a good time with my teammates here Glen Perkins Jersey , kind of put all that stuff behind me until next week and just kind of enjoy my experience here.”The 27-year-old Realmuto was a first-time All-Star this year. He hit .277 and set career highs with 21 homers and 74 RBIs. He had a $2.9 million salary after losing in arbitration, and is eligible for arbitration this winter and again following the 2019 season.Miami finished last in the NL East this year with a 63-98 record.Meanwhile, Realmuto is having a blast in Japan. He homered in Thursday’s warmup against the Yomiuri Giants, which the MLB squad won 9-6. He is scheduled to be behind the plate in Game 2 of the six-game series against Japan’s national team at Tokyo Dome. A look at what’s happening around the majors today:MOOKIE MANIAMookie Betts tries to follow up his first career cycle when Boston opens a series at Baltimore. The AL MVP contender homered off Ken Giles in the ninth inning Thursday to complete his first career cycle, though the Red Sox still lost 8-5. A trip to Camden Yards doesn’t figure to slow Betts — he’s hit 13 homers there in 35 games, by far his most in any stadium other than Fenway Park. Betts is hitting .347 with 27 homers, 59 RBIs and a 1.102 OPS this season.HEALTH SCAREDodgers closer Kenley Jansen has been sent back to Los Angeles after being hospitalized Thursday with an irregular heartbeat. Jansen has dealt with an irregular heartbeat in the past Harmon Killebrew Jersey , and manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander will visit his cardiologist in LA. Roberts said the team is “holding out hope it’s not too serious.” Roberts didn’t know if the team would make a roster move in Jansen’s absence.CARLOS COMES BACKCarlos Correa is expected back in the lineup for Houston. The star shortstop has been out with lower back soreness since June 25. Correa completed a rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Wednesday and was in Houston for a scheduled day off Thursday. Correa is batting .268 with 13 home runs and 49 RBIs.BOLSTERED BULLPENThe Athletics have charged into the AL playoff picture with a never-say-die lineup, but Oakland is looking to make a name for keeping leads, too. Fernando Rodney may join the team Friday after being acquired via trade from Minnesota on Thursday night. The longtime closer joins a deep bullpen led by Blake Treinen, Lou Trivino and former Mets closer Jeurys Familia. That quartet could prove pivotal if Oakland winds up in the AL wild-card game. For now, the group will try to lock down victories as the A’s open a series in Anaheim.GRAY DAYSJon Gray aims to continue a strong second half of the season when Colorado hosts the Dodgers.
