Minnesota Wild Agrees to Terms with Defenseman Alex Goligoski

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has agreed to terms with defenseman Alex Goligoski to a one-year, $5 million contract.

 

Goligoski, 35 (7/30/85), recorded 22 points (3-19=22), seven power-play assists (PPA), 108 blocked shots and 76 hits in 56 games with the Arizona Coyotes during the 2020-21 season. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound native of Grand Rapids, Minn., led the Coyotes in blocked shots (T-9th amongst NHL defensemen) and ranked third amongst team blueliners in assists, PPA and points. He registered a season-high five-game point streak (0-6=6) from March 27-April 5. The left-shot blueliner tallied 20 of his 22 points in the last 24 contests of the season (3-17=20) and ranked T-4th amongst NHL defensemen in scoring since March 23.

 

He owns 429 points (83-346=429), 308 penalty minutes (PIM), 26 power-play goals (PPG), 115 PPA, nine game-winning goals (GWG), 1,574 blocked shots and 1,052 hits in 924 career games in 14 NHL seasons with Pittsburgh (2007-11), Dallas (2010-16) and Arizona (2016-21). The Minnesota native ranks first amongst active MN-born NHL defensemen in scoring, fourth all-time. He has 21 points (7-14=21) in 43 career Stanley Cup Playoff contests with the Penguins (2008-10), the Stars (2013-14, 2015-15) and the Coyotes (2019-20) and won the 2009 Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh.

 

Goligoski skated in three seasons with the University of Minnesota and totaled 98 points (25-73=98) in 117 games (2004-07). He was named to the 2005 WCHA All-Rookie team, the 2006 WCHA Second All-Star team, the 2007 WCHA First All-Star team and the 2007 NCAA West First All-American team. The defenseman has represented the United States at the 2012 IIHF World Championship and at the 2005 IIHF World Junior Championship. He played hockey at Grand Rapids High School and was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round (61st overall) of the 2004 NHL Draft.

Cole has tallied 24 points (1g, 23a) in 96 career NHL playoff games, including 12 points (1g, 11a) in 49 games to help the Penguins win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Prior to turning professional, Cole tallied 65 points (17g, 48a) in 111 NCAA games with Notre Dame.

Cubs moves for July 29

CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs today recalled infielder Sergio Alcántara and selected right-handed pitcher Jake Jewell from Triple-A Iowa. Infielder Nico Hoerner has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain and right-handed pitcher Cory Abbott has been optioned to Iowa. To make room on the 40-man roster for Jewell, right-handed pitcher Kohl Stewart has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

 

Alcántara, 24, is in his third stint with the Cubs this season and has hit .171 (14-for-82) with 12 runs, three doubles, three triples, two home runs and five RBI in 39 games. First selected from Iowa, May 30, he was optioned back to Iowa, July 4, then was again on the major league roster, July 6-22. In 25 games with Iowa this season, Alcántara has hit .305 (25-for-82) with three doubles, three home runs, nine RBI and a .447 on-base percentage, drawing 21 walks to contribute to an .898 OPS.

 

Alcántara made his major league debut with the Tigers last season, appearing in 10 games and batting .143 (3-for-21) with a triple, home run and RBI while seeing time at both second base (six games) and third base (six games). He was claimed off waivers by Chicago, February 5 of this year prior to being outrighted, February 20.

 

Jewell, 28, is 2-1 with a 2.78 ERA (10 ER/32.1 IP) and four saves in 23 relief appearances for Iowa this season, walking 13 and striking out 35 for an average of 9.7 strikeouts per 9.0 innings. He has allowed just three home runs in 129 batters faced and has recorded a 1.05 WHIP.

 

Jewell, who signed a minor league deal with Chicago in November 2020, is 0-1 with a 6.99 ERA (22 ER/28.1 IP) in 21 major league relief appearances with the Los Angeles Angels spanning the 2018-19 seasons. He was originally selected by the Angels in the fifth round of the 2014 draft out of Northeast Oklahoma A&M. Jewell is 25-43 with 19 saves, one complete game, one shutout and a 4.80 ERA (288 ER/539.2 IP) in 181 minor league games, 77 as a starter. He has pitched exclusively out of the bullpen since 2018.

 

Hoerner, 24, has hit .313 (42-for-134) with 10 doubles, 14 RBI and a .388 on-base percentage in 39 games for Chicago this season.

 

Abbott, 25, has no record and an 8.03 ERA (11 ER/12.1 IP) in six relief appearances for Chicago this season. In 10 starts for Iowa this season, Abbott is 1-5 with a 7.21 ERA (39 ER/48.2 IP).

 

Stewart, 26, was placed on the 10-day injured list, July 6, with right elbow inflammation. He is 1-1 with a 5.27 ERA (8 ER/13.2 IP) in four games, three starts, for the Cubs this season.

Blue Jays acquire Hand

The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired LHP Brad Hand from the Washington Nationals in exchange for C Riley Adams.

 

Hand, 31, has gone 5-5 with 21 saves and a 3.59 ERA over 41 outings for the Nationals this season. The left-handed reliever has been named an All-Star on three occasions (2017, 2018, 2019). The native of Minneapolis has also pitched for Miami, San Diego, and Cleveland throughout his 11-year career, combining for 126 saves, a 3.65 ERA, and 666 strikeouts over 651.1 innings of work.

 

Adams, 25, was selected by the Blue Jays in the third round of the 2017 First-Year Player Draft and made his Major League debut with the club earlier this season. The 6-4, 246 lb. catcher picked up three hits in his 12 MLB games.

Yankees acquire INF/OF Joey Gallo and LHP Joely Rodriguez from Texas

The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired INF/OF Joey Gallo, LHP Joely Rodriguez an­d cash considerations from the Texas Rangers in exchange for minor league right-handed pitcher Glenn Otto and infielders Ezequiel Duran, Trevor Hauver and Josh Smith.

 

Gallo, 27, was named to his second All-Star team earlier this season (also 2019) and is tied for fifth in the AL and tied for sixth in the Majors with 25 home runs while batting .223/.379/.490 (69-for-310) with 57R, 6 doubles, 1 triple, 55RBI, a .869 OPS and a Major League-leading 74 walks.

 

Originally selected by the Rangers in the supplemental first round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft (39th overall) out of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Gallo has hit .211 (385-for-1,826) with 319R, 74 doubles, 7 triples, 145HR and 317 RBI in 568 games over seven Major League seasons (2015-21), all with Texas.

 

Since 2017, his 138HR entering tonight’s play rank sixth in the Majors, trailing only Nelson Cruz (154), J.D. Martinez (151), Nolan Arenado (144), Eugenio Suarez (143) and Mike Trout (142). Additionally, Gallo has averaged 1HR every 12.27AB over that stretch, the second-best mark in the Majors (Trout-11.68) among players with at least 1,500 PA. He also posted totals of 41HR and 80RBI in 2017 and 40HR and 92RBI in 2018 and is one of just three players in the Majors to hit at least 40HR and record 80RBI in at least two different seasons since 2017 (also J.D. Martinez and Khris Davis).

 

Gallo, a 6’ 5”, 255 lb. left-handed hitter who throws with his right hand, won his first career Gold Glove Award in 2020, earning the honor for his play in right field in his first full year at the position (53G in the shortened season). Gallo led qualified MLB right fielders with an Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR) of 6.1, good for the fourth-highest mark in that category among all MLB fielders behind only Nolan Arenado (8.5), Kevin Kiermaier (7.7) and Trent Grisham (7.5). Last year he played 457.2 innings in the field (456.2 in RF and 1.0 in CF) and handled 123 chances without committing an error. Over his career Gallo has appeared at five positions, including 95G/85GS at first base (.995 fielding pct.), 92G/80GS at third base (.921), 156G/131GS in left field (.988), 55G/49GS in center field (.975) and 152G/151GS in right field (.986).

 

In 2019, Gallo was named to his first Midsummer Classic and homered in his only plate appearance in the game — a seventh-inning solo home run off Will Smith, which marked the AL’s final run of the evening in a 4-3 win.

 

Rodríguez, 29, went 1-3 with one save and a 5.93 ERA (27.1IP, 32H, 19R/18ER, 12BB, 30K, 3HR) in 31 relief appearances with Texas in 2021, holding left-handed batters to a .176/.282/.206 slash line.
