NEW YORK -- Brian McCann still wanted to catch, a lot. Wholesale Ultra Boost NZ For Sale . So with his options limited in the New York Yankees lineup, the seven-time All-Star gladly accepted a new opportunity in Houston.McCann waived his no-trade clause and was sent, along with $11 million, to the Astros on Thursday for a pair of young minor league pitchers.The Yankees acquired right-handers Albert Abreu and Jorge Guzman.It had to be the right fit, McCann said on a conference call. It wasnt going to be just anywhere.McCanns playing time diminished in the second half of the season as rookie Gary Sanchez emerged as a power hitter behind the plate. Sanchez hit 20 home runs in just 53 games.It was like nothing Id ever seen before. He was the best player in the game, McCann said.The 32-year-old McCann hit .242 with 20 homers and 58 RBI this year.We entered the offseason with the acquisition of a catcher as a primary focus, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said in a statement.Brian McCann is a great fit for the Astros as he is not only a good defensive catcher, he is also a left-handed hitter with proven run-producing ability, he said. His experience and his ability to impact his teammates will be a significant benefit to our team.Jason Castro made the most starts at catcher for the Astros last year, batting .210 with 11 homers and 32 RBI.Evan Gattis, known more for his slugging than his catching, also saw time at the spot.Houston and the Yankees met in the AL wild-card game in 2015. They both went 84-78 this year and missed the playoffs.Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the trade gives the team financial flexibility for potential free agents and trades.Houston stepped up and I think all parties got what we wanted, he told reporters.McCann made 86 starts at catcher last season, his fewest since he was a rookie with Atlanta in 2005. He figured next year in New York likely would mean catching once a week, plus some platoon time as a designated hitter.I wanted to catch every day, he said. I feel like I still have a lot of good years left.McCann also likes what he sees in the Astros, praising a lot of great young pieces.I wanted to be a part of it, he said.McCann hit 24 homers in 2006 and has hit at least 18 home runs in every season since then. He has 245 career homers with 888 RBI while batting .266.This was McCanns third season in New York after signing an $85 million, five-year deal as a free agent.McCann is due $17 million in each of the next two seasons, and the Yankees will pay $5.5 million both years.The Yankees had a $15 million option for 2019 with no buyout. The option became McCanns if he had at least 1,000 plate appearances combined in 2017 and 2018, had at least 90 starts at catcher in 2018 and didnt end up that season on the disabled list.The 21-year-old Abreu was a combined 3-8 with a 3.72 ERA for two teams in Class A. The 20-year-old Guzman was a combined 3-4 with a 4.05 ERA with two rookie-level teams.

Cheap Ultra Boost NZ .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. http://www.wholesaleultraboostnz.com/ .

LONDON -- Detectives are investigating allegations that a British player at the Wimbledon tennis tournament was poisoned, after she fell ill with a bacterial infection that can be spread through rat urine, Londons Metropolitan Police said Thursday.Gabriella Taylor was playing in Wimbledons junior tournament when she became sick on July 6 and had to drop out. Her family says she was hospitalized in intensive care and diagnosed with leptospirosis, a bacterial infection spread by animals.Several scientists expressed doubt that 18-year-old Taylor could have been infected deliberately. But her mother, Milena Taylor, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that the bacteria the infection team found is so rare in Britain that we feel this could not have been an accident. Gabrielle was staying in a completely healthy environment during the tournament and wouldnt likely have been accidentally exposed to the bacteria, she said.Londons Metropolitan Police said detectives are investigating an allegation of poisoning with intent to endanger life or cause bodily harm. It said the incident was alleged to have taken place at an address in Wimbledon between July 1 and July 10.The force said no one had been arrested and police are awaiting medical information about what, if any, poison was involved.Health officials say leptospirosis is uncommon in the U.K. There were 71 confirmed cases in England and Wales in 2015, according to Public Health England. The infection can be acquired by touching soil or water contaminated with the urine of infected animals, including cattle, pigs, dogs and particularly rats.It usually causes miild flu-like symptoms, but in some cases can lead to organ failure and internal bleeding.

Despite Taylors diagnosis, scientists on Thursday said they doubted she was infected deliberately with the bug that sickened her.Kimon-Andreas Karatzas, an assistant professor of food microbiology at the University of Reading, said the rare bacterium wasnt an obvious candidate as a poison.There are other bacteria that are much easier to find, such as salmonella, often found in raw chicken.Trying to find leptospirosis, its a much more difficult task, Karatzas said.Leptospirosis also has a long incubation period, which makes it difficult to pinpoint the source of an infection, he said. It takes between five and 14 days, and in rare cases up to a month, before symptoms appear.David Mabey, professor of communicable diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said leptospirosis is not a bug you can grow in the lab and is most often contracted by swimming in contaminated water.If you were wanting to poison someone, this would be an extremely roundabout way of going about it, Mabey said. Youd have to catch a rat, make sure it was infected and get it to pee in her bathwater or something.Taylor, who is ranked 381st in the world, tweeted on July 11 that she was in intensive care at Southampton General Hospital in southern England.On Wednesday, she tweeted a picture of herself on a tennis court with the caption: So happy to be back on court!!
