Earthquakes Sign SuperDraft Selection George Asomani

Asomani was selected in the second round of the 2021 MLS SuperDraft

SAN JOSE, Calif. –  The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that the club has signed second-round MLS SuperDraft selection George Asomani to a one-year contract with club options for 2022, 2023 and 2024. Asomani, a native of Ghana, will not be placed on the club’s active roster and therefore will not occupy an international roster slot.

 

“We felt fortunate to be able to select George in the second round of the SuperDraft and believe he has promising qualities we can build on,” said Earthquakes general manager Jesse Fioranelli. “After the draft, he concluded the 2020-21 season with North Carolina State before arriving in San Jose and impressing with his work ethic and athleticism. We intend to be patient with George’s development and want to accompany him as he continues to grow at the MLS level of competition.

 

“We would like to acknowledge NC State’s support, in particular coach Kiefer, for helping pave George’s collegiate pathway to a unique life perspective. We know his college degree and the opportunity to go pro means a lot to George and his family in Ghana.”

 

Asomani, 22, was selected 39th overall in the 2021 MLS SuperDraft. He spent two years at North Carolina State University, tallying one goal and one assist in 32 appearances (all starts) across the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Asomani was named to the 2019-20 ACC Academic Honor roll and also the Preseason All-ACC Watchlist in 2020. Additionally, he led the team to its third consecutive NCAA tournament appearance for the first time since 1992.

 

Prior to NC State, Asomani played two seasons at Monroe College in New York, where he was a two-time NJCAA All-American and the 2018 Regional Championship Player of the Year. He was also part of the New York Cosmos’ system prior to joining Monroe College.

The Bengals today signed their remaining two unsigned draft picks — WR Ja’Marr Chase and DE Joseph Ossai.

            Chase (6-0, 201), a first-round pick, spent 2018-19 at Louisiana State University (he opted out of the ’20 season). He played in 27 career games (21 starts) and totaled 98 catches for 2093 yards and 23 TDs. He posted eight career 100-yard receiving games, including three 200-yard games. In 2019, he set single-season SEC records for receiving yards (1780) and TDs (20) en route to winning the Biletnikoff Award as college football’s top receiver.

            Ossai (6-4, 256), a third-round pick, spent the last three seasons (2018-20) at the University of Texas. He played in 36 career games (24 starts) and totaled 101 tackles, including 30.5 for losses and 11 sacks, along with two INTs, five PDs, five FFs, a FR and a blocked kick. Last season, he recorded a tackle for a loss in eight of the nine games he played, and his 16 tackles for losses ranked second nationally.

            With these two signings, all 10 of the Bengals’ 2021 draft picks now are under contract.

Red Sox acquire three Minor League players

Boston completes February 10 trade with Royals and Mets

BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today acquired minor league right-handed pitchers Luis De La Rosa and Grant Gambrell from the Kansas City Royals, as well as minor league outfielder Freddy Valdez from the New York Mets, as the players to be named later in the trade that sent outfielder Andrew Benintendi to the Royals on February 10, 2021.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

De La Rosa, 18, was signed by the Royals out of the Dominican Republic in July 2018. The right-hander made his professional debut in 2019 with the Dominican Summer League Royals 1, earning the club’s Pitcher of the Year award. In 12 games (11 starts) that season, he posted a 2.33 ERA (10 ER/38.2 IP) with a .197 opponent batting average, 0.91 WHIP, 52 strikeouts, seven walks, and zero home runs allowed.

Gambrell, 23, was selected by the Royals in the third round of the 2019 June Draft out of Oregon State University. In 16 games (15 starts) between Rookie-level Idaho Falls (2019) and High-A Quad Cities (2021), the right-hander is 3-7 with a 5.62 ERA (31 ER/49.2 IP), 46 strikeouts, and 18 walks. Born in Fresno, CA, Gambrell graduated from Buchanan High School before going 11-4 with a 3.47 ERA and 0.38 home runs allowed per 9.0 innings in three years at Oregon State.

Valdez, 19, is ranked by MLB.com as the Mets’ No. 14 prospect. Signed by the Mets out of the Dominican Republic in July 2018, the right-handed hitter made his professional debut in 2019, when he was named Sterling Mets Dominican Summer League Player of the Year. That season, he appeared in 57 games with the Mets’ DSL club and in three games with the Gulf Coast League team, batting .274 (63-for-230) with an .814 OPS, 16 doubles, three triples, six home runs, 40 runs scored, 39 RBI, 31 walks, and six stolen bases.

Rangers acquire RHP Tyson Miller on waiver claim from Chicago Cubs; activate RHP Kyle Gibson and transfer RHP Hunter Wood to 60-day injured list

LHP Wes Benjamin was optioned to Round Rock (AAA) following game on Thursday

Arlington, Texas — The Texas Rangers announced the following transactions prior to Friday’s homestand opener against the Tampa Bay Rays:

• Right-handed pitcher Tyson Miller acquired on waiver claim from Chicago-NL and optioned to Round Rock (AAA)

• Right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson activated from 10-day Injured List

• Right-handed pitcher Hunter Wood transferred from 10-day Injured List to 60-day Injured List

• Left-handed pitcher Wes Benjamin optioned to Round Rock (AAA), effective postgame on Thursday

Miller, 25, has no record and a 5.06 ERA (3 ER/5.1 IP) over 3 games/one start with Triple-A Iowa this season with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. He has averaged 10.1 strikeouts per 9 innings over his brief stint at Triple-A after spending time at the club’s Arizona complex to begin the season. Miller did not make his season debut until May 22 and his lone start this year came in his last outing on May 29 vs. St. Paul (3.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 SO, 43 pitches/30 strikes).

Miller was designated for assignment by the Cubs on May 30, when the Cubs added infielder Sergio Alcántara to the team’s 40-man roster. Miller made his MLB debut with the Cubs in 2020, posting no record and a 5.40 ERA (3 ER/5.0 IP) over 2 games/one start spanning two total days on which the team had doubleheaders: August 17 and September 5. He was originally selected by Chicago-NL in the fourth round of the 2016 June draft out of California Baptist University.

Gibson is the Rangers’ scheduled starting pitcher for tonight’s homestand opener against the Rays. He was on the 10-day Injured List from May 22-June 3 for a right groin strain, and last pitched on May 21 vs. Houston. He has a 3-0 record with a 2.24 ERA (15 ER/60.1 IP) over 10 games/starts for the Rangers this season.

Wood, who has a mild UCL sprain in his right elbow, was placed on the 10-day Injured List on May 25, retroactive to May 23. The first date he would be eligible to return is July 22. Wood produced a 3.60 ERA (2 ER/5.0 IP) over 5 relief appearances for Texas during his lone stint on the active roster this season from May 15-22.

Benjamin pitched 2.0 innings in Thursday’s loss in Colorado and he was optioned to Round Rock (AAA) after the game. He has a 0-2 record with an 8.76 ERA (12 ER/12.1 IP) in 6 games/one start spanning three stints with the Rangers this season: Opening Day-April 16, May 14, and May 25-June 3.

Following today’s transactions, the Rangers remain at the 40-man limit on the Major League roster, along with seven players on the 60-day Injured List.

The free stream will air live on the Thompson Boxing Promotions website (www.thompsonboxing.com), as well as their Facebook and YouTube pages. 3.2.1. Boxing will take place at the Omega Products International Event Center in Corona, CA, and will start at 2:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. ET.

Here is what Michael Dutchover, who is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing had to say about his recent training camp, his matchup with Benitez, and more.

On his recent training camp:
“I’ve been working hard with my coach, Danny Zamora, and we had a great training camp. I am just really focused on getting to the next level, and it all starts with good training in the gym. It’s been almost a year since I last fought so I’m ready to unleash all the stuff I’ve been working on during this long layoff.”

On his matchup with Ivan Leon Benitez:
“He is a good fighter, who just had a draw against a guy who was undefeated. I’m sure he got better during the pandemic as a lot of fighters were training hard during their time off. I have to come in well-prepared and at the best of my abilities, as he has shown he can beat anyone on any given night. This is a great test for me and I’m confident I’ll be able to win this fight.”

On making his 2021 debut:
“I am really excited to get back in the ring, this past year has been hard on everyone, and I have had to battle back from a few things myself. When boxing is in my life everything else falls into place, and I am so happy to be back in the ring in this Sunday.”

On fighting on 3.2.1 Boxing:
“I love what Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing has done for me. Even though there won’t be any fans in attendance, I love the atmosphere of the 3.2.1. Boxing shows. I’m grateful just to be fighting and thankful that all my friends and family back home will be able to watch live on the internet.”

Ivan Benitez gives his thoughts on his recent training camp, his matchup with Dutchover and more.

On his recent training camp:
“This is a big opportunity for me to get my career back on track and I put a lot of hard work into this training camp. I worked very hard as this is a big moment in my life. This will be the best fight of my career. I’m in great shape and I’m going to give Dutchover hell.”

On his matchup with Michael Dutchover:
“Dutchover is a great fighter with a lot of confidence, but I found myself as a fighter in my last fight. I am now much more different than ever before, and everyone watching will see the improvements I’ve made. I respect Michael Dutchover, but I’m going to win this fight.”

On making his 2021 debut:
“You know it is good to be back since I discovered a lot of things about myself in my last fight, and the longer you stay out of the ring, the more you lose it. I fought in December of 2021 and I am ready to shock the world with a victory.”

On fighting on 3.2.1 Boxing:
“It is always a great honor to fight on a Thompson Boxing card, they treat the fighters well and offer high-quality boxing shows. I love whenever I get the call to fight on their cards because I know there will be some good quality fights. 3.2.1. Boxing has staged some great fights of late and I going to bring an exciting fight to the show myself.”
