Anthony Sherman Chiefs Jersey .Lowry said during a in a recent interview with The Vertical that he would prefer to remain with the Raptors but also acknowledged he is open to seeing what else is out there.If youre that franchises guy, and youre the guy that theyve been rolling with, and youve given that franchise everything you have, yeah, I think [contract negotiations] should be easy, Lowry told The Vertical.Lowry, 30, has spent the last four seasons with the Raptors and is scheduled to make $12 million in 2016-17. His player option for the 2017-18 season also is worth $12 million, but the two-time All-Star is prepared to join a free-agent class that could include Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul.Lowry has helped lead the Raptors to three consecutive Atlantic Division titles and the franchises first appearance in the Eastern Conference finals last season.

DeMar didnt have the chance to talk to another team. For me, I think that at 12:01 a.m. on July 1 -- something should be close. If not, Im open to seeing what else is out there.Raptors president Masai Ujiri praised Lowry, telling The Vertical that the veteran point guard has helped established the teams winning culture.Kyle has been at the forefront of the Raptor movement, Ujiri told The Vertical. How he goes, we go. He has helped establish a culture that will grow even more. We really appreciate that. He is a winner, and we want to win. Juan Thornhill Youth Jersey .

CHICAGO -- Travis Wood got four outs and made an impressive catch in left field. Pitcher Jon Lester made the winning play -- at the plate. Five Chicago Cubs played two or more positions.Manager Joe Maddon went deep into his bag of tricks to steal one from the Seattle Mariners.Lester drove in Jason Heyward with a two-strike squeeze bunt in the 12th inning, and the Cubs overcame a six-run deficit on the way to a wild 7-6 victory over the Mariners on Sunday night.I just kept telling myself `Dont be late to square around, Lester said. Thats one thing over the last year that Ive kind of picked up on on bunting, and its helped me just be a little more consistent.Heyward sparked the winning rally with a leadoff double against Cody Martin (1-1). He advanced on Willson Contreras fly ball to center before Lester, hitting for Hector Rondon (2-2), managed to get a safety squeeze down right in front of the plate.Heyward made it home with a headfirst slide, sparking a frenzied celebration at Wrigley Field.Joe does it again, Lester said. You kind of sit there sometimes and scratch your head and it seems to always kind of work out.The Cubs trailed 6-3 before they pushed across three runs in the ninth against Steve Cishek, handing the sidewinding right-hander his sixth blown save in 31 opportunities. Addison Russell hit an RBI single and Contreras drove in another run when he hustled down the line to beat out a potential double-play grounder.With two outs and runners on the corners, Cishek uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Russell to come home with the tying run. Matt Szczur then flied out to right, ending the inning.Stuff was terrible tonight, Cishek said. I had a hard time commanding my fastball, slider was the not the same and I got exposed.It was a heartbreaking loss for Seattle, which was in position to take the rubber game of the weekend series before the late rally by Chicago. Nelson Cruz, Robinson Cano and Dae-Ho Lee each hit a two-run homer against Brian Matusz, helping the Mariners jump out to a 6-0 lead.I think for our club, coming in here, theyve got the best record in baseball.

Youve got to finish.Looking for an extra day of rest for its rotation, Chicago promoted Matusz from Triple-A Iowa for a spot start. Christian Okoye Jersey. The Cubs also wanted to take a look at the veteran left-hander before an opt-out clause in his contract gave him the option of leaving the organization.What they saw was a shaky three innings. Matusz, who signed a minor league deal with Chicago in June after he was cut by Atlanta, allowed six hits, walked two, threw a wild pitch and hit a batter.Long after Matusz departed, Wood worked out of a jam in the sixth and then made a solid grab while playing left in the seventh. Wood hauled in Franklin Gutierrezs liner as he collided with the ivy-covered wall, earning a standing ovation from the crowd of 40,952 and big smiles from Maddon and reliever Pedro Strop.Travis, star of the game, between his pitching and that catch he made at the wall, Maddon said. Not many guys play a brick wall like he just did. That was a great catch.Wood returned to the mound in the eighth and threw to first as Shawn OMalley was caught stealing to end the inning.This was an exciting one, just with everything going on, us battling back, Wood said. Playing as good as we could and battling back and pulling it off.TRADING MILEYOn the eve of the non-waiver trade deadline, Seattle dealt left-hander Wade Miley to Baltimore for lefty Ariel Miranda. The Cuban pitcher has spent most of the year with Triple-A Norfolk.
