P4a1gBQIXeVerdugo still had a productive day Monday, going 2-for-4 with a double, but the Mets won the game Carlos Asuaje Jersey , 4-2. A three-run home run by Brandon Nimmo in the top of the ninth proved to be the difference and handed the Dodgers an important loss in the postseason race.New York took two of three in the series from Los Angeles, dropping the Dodgers to 76-64. They are 1.5 games behind the Colorado Rockies in the National League West and two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the final wild-card spot with a critical three-game set scheduled in Colorado this weekend.Los Angeles will have to worry about catching the Rockies in the division, but at least they won't have to concern themselves with Frazier tricking the umpires in their next series. Ken Blaze-USA TODAY SportsAfter falling out of playoff contention, the Minnesota Twins have reportedly traded star second baseman Brian Dozier to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.According to Jon Heyman of Fancred http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-hand-jersey , Los Angeles will send utility man Logan Forsythe, outfielder Luke Raley and left-hander Devin Smeltzer to Minnesota.The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Dan Hayes first reported a deal was close.The Twins were a surprise playoff team last season after winning just 59 games in 2016. They started this season with high expectations because of that postseason appearance and signing starting pitcher Lance Lynn and closer Addison Reed to shore up the pitching staff.Dozier has been a mainstay for the Twins since his MLB debut in 2012. The31-year-oldmade the All-Star team in 2015 and set an AL recordin 2016 by hitting 40 of his 42 homers while playing second base.From 2014 to 2017, Dozier ranked second among all second basemen with 18.8 FanGraphs wins above replacement. His offense has taken a step back this season with a.224/.305/.402 slash linefor a Twins team that has disappointed with a 49-56after making the postseason last year.With Dozier being in the final year of his contract, the Twins were forced to decide if they wanted to play out this season before trying to re-sign him or add long-term assets they can build around in the future.Dozier is not an old man and is still in the prime of his career. He has hit all over the lineup in the past, primarily leading off for the Twins Matt Szczur Jersey , so he gives Dodgers manager Dave Roberts more versatility in a lineup that also includes the newly acquired Manny Machadoand Cody Bellinger. The Dodgers got off to a slow start this season, so they needed to do something if they hoped to get back to the World Series. With Dozier's potent bat in their lineup, they have the depth to hold off the Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants in the National League West.
