Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Wednesday, August 1, 2018 TRADES: Harper remains with Nationals Continued from 1B off race even after trad- ing away Gerrit Cole and Andrew McCutchen in the offseason. “They’re super-hot right now, and they want me,” Archer said. “I’m excited to be part of the organiza- tion that wants me, part of a rich baseball history, a hard-working community. I can’t wait to get there.” The Rays sent former All-Star catcher Ramos to NL East-leading Philadel- phia, while Leonys Mar- tin, Kevin Gausman and Cameron Maybin also switched sides as contend- ers tweaked their rosters. And why not? All but four National League teams began the day within 5 1/2 games of a play- off spot. The American League is more spread out — division leaders Bos- ton, Cleveland and Hous- ton have been busy. Manny Machado, Cole Hamels, Zach Britton, Mike Moustakas and Ian Kinsler were among the big names that moved ear- lier this month. Bryce Harper, Jacob deGrom, J.T. Realmuto and McCutchen had been mentioned in trade specu- lation, but stayed put. “I think whenever you hear your name or see your name on stuff, you always wonder. But I think that’s just the business side of the game,” Harper said. “It’s part of the game.” One of Harper’s team- mates packed up. Exactly a year after get- ting traded from Minnesota to Washington, reliever Brandon Kintzler was part of another deadline deal. This time, the Nationals sent him to the NL Cen- tral-leading Chicago Cubs. “I thought they were joking. I figured it’s not April’s Fools. They called me in, I said, ‘Am I traded?’ They said yeah,” Kintzler said. An All-Star last year, Kintzler turns 34 on Wednesday. “Birthday again tomor- row, so I’m traveling on my birthday again, so that’s great. It is what it is,” he said. Dozier had been a fix- ture in Minnesota’s lineup for years. But the Twins dipped this season, and they sent the power-hitting second baseman to the NL West-leading Los Ange- les Dodgers for infielder Logan Forsythe and two minor leaguers. Rather than starting at Target Field in Minneap- olis, the 31-year-old Doz- ier hustled to join his new club as it hosted Milwau- kee. He’s now part of a revamped infield for the defending NL West cham- pion Dodgers, who added Machado two weeks ago. “Brian’s brand here in Minnesota, I don’t know if you can get much better than that,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said. “Every- thing that he’s done for the community and the way that he’s played the game, he’s set a great example for our young guys through- out, and you’re going to miss a guy like that.” The New York Mets had discussions about their talent-rich young pitch- ers, who include deGrom, Noah Syndergaard and Zack Wheeler. “We were not going to move those players unless it involved considerable talent coming back in our direction,” assistant gen- eral manager John Ricco said. Diekman definitely was on the go. The 31-year-old lefty struck out two while pitch- ing for Texas on Mon- day night in a win at Ari- zona. The Diamondbacks reacquired reliever Brad Ziegler from Miami early Tuesday, then boosted their bullpen by getting Diek- man from the Rangers. Wanting to make Diek- man’s move easy, the Dia- mondbacks offered the ser- vices of the bullpen cart used to ferry relievers into the game. “They asked and I was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t want to carry all of my stuff,”’ Diekman said. Ellen Bishop/For the Chieftain Steer wrestler J.J. Rosenberg, of Ione grapples with his steer Thursday. He downed the steer in only 5.6 seconds but broke the barrier, adding a ten-second penalty to his time.

Carranza takes lead at Senior Oregon Open PENDLETON — Joe Carranza took a Day 1 lead at Wildhorse Resort on Tuesday, shooting eight under par as he began work on his second win at the Senior Oregon Open Invitational. Carranza, a professional from the Aldarra Golf Club in Falls City, Washington, and the 2016 winner of the Senior Oregon Open, made seven birdies, an eagle and a bogey during the round. Scott Krieger, a pro- fessional from Broad- moor GC in Portland, and Tom Brandes, an amateur from Glendale CC in Bel- levue, Washington, ended the day two strokes behind Carranza. In the team competi- tion, professional George Mack Jr., Casey Garland, Bob Harrington and Steve Tinney shot 119 in the first round, good enough for 25 under par. The team com- petition is a two-day event. The second round of the 54-hole tournament is on Wednesday and the final round is Thursday. The Senior Oregon Open was founded in 1996 and has been at Wildhorse for 16 years. It is one of three major senior cham- pions in the Pacific North- west Section and draws some of the top players aged 50 and older. Ellen Bishop/For the Chieftain Saddle Bronc rider Joaquin Real of Santa Paula, Calif., gets an airborne dismount at the end of his 8 second ride Friday aboard Alabama Hannah. Real scored only 35 points on this ride because the mare stopped just out of the chute before bucking across the arena. His re-ride netted Real 75 points, good for third in the go-round.
