The Marlins and Red Sox had extensive discussions about <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-red-sox-latest-stance-justin-turner-trade-revealed" rel="noopener">a Justin Turner trade</a>, The Athletic reports. Miami thought <a href="https://theathletic.com/4746362/2023/08/03/red-sox-trade-justin-turner-marlins-the-windup/?source=mlbtw">it was close</a> to completing a trade for Justin Turner until talks fell through, according to The Athletic.</p><p>When the Marlins failed to land Turner from the Red Sox, they shifted gears. Miami <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-chicago-continues-fire-sale-marlins-trade" rel="noopener">pried Burger away</a> from the Chicago White Sox in an unexpected move. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-marlins-guardians-josh-bell-trade" rel="noopener">Marlins also picked up Bell</a>, who was moved at the trade deadline for a second straight year.</p><p>It’s hard to imagine that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-justin-turner-sad-tweet-after-dodgers-kike-hernandez-trade" rel="noopener">a Red Sox’ trade</a> of Turner would’ve gone over well with most Boston fans. After posting MLB’s best record in July, Boston is just 2.5 games out of the final AL wild-card spot. Turner has played a big role in keeping the Red Sox in contention.</p><p>Turner is hitting .286/.356/.481 with 17 home runs and 71 RBI in 102 games. Only Rafael Devers has hit more homers and driven in more runs for the Red Sox in 2023. Turner’s .837 OPS is good for 14th in the American League.</p><p>Bell and Burger made an immediate impact for the Marlins. Both players debuted with Miami in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/trea-turner-gets-honest-after-loss-marlins" rel="noopener">the Marlins’ 9-8 win</a> over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Bell had four hits in five at-bats, including a home run and a game-tying single in the 11th inning. Burger had two hits in four at-bats. Burger scored a game-tying run in the 10th inning that kept the Marlins alive.</p><p>Miami is tied with the Milwaukee Brewers for the final NL wild-card spot.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A lot of players have come back and never looked the same like Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. However, some do manage to rise from the ashes and exceed expectations. One of these select individuals is Chicago White Sox’s Jake Burger. Michael Soroka of the Atlanta Braves was more than amazed with the baseman’s performance.</p><p>The Braves did not put up much of a fight against the White Sox. However, this <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-pitching-moves-michael-soroka-return" rel="noopener">did not stop Michael Soroka</a> from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/she-drew-whole-diagram-white-soxs-jake-burger-reveals-wifes-surprising-role-fixing-stance" rel="noopener">giving Jake Burger</a> his <a href="https://theathletic.com/4695070/2023/07/16/braves-michael-soroka-jake-burger/" rel="noopener">much-needed praise</a>, via David O’Brien of The Athletic.</p><p>“It’s been great to watch him. It’s a lot more fun to watch him do it against other teams. What he’s been able to do — especially since he was out longer than I was. He had his fair share of difficulties that I didn’t, because he went through it all in the minor leagues, too. He had to battle for a lot of years and basically was out of baseball for a good chunk. So it’s been encouraging to watch him do what he’s done,” the pitcher said.</p><p>After he outlined the tough journey Burger underwent, Soroka posited that the baseman has a lot more juice left in the tank and that the best is yet to come.</p><p>“Good to talk to him, too, about what he’s dealt with the last couple of years since he’s come back, things to keep an eye on for me moving forward,” he declared.</p><p>Staying in the MLB can be quite difficult and no one will know that more than his fellow athlete.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hendriks pitched the 9th inning, when the game was tied 2-2, and he came through by striking out two and getting the other batter to ground out. That set it up for the bottom of the 9th, when the White Sox won on the Burger grand slam.</p><p>It is a fitting way for the game to end on National Cancer Survivors Day. The White Sox hope this win propels them to climb the standings.</p><p>Chicago has the talent with players like Tim Anderson, Luis Robert Jr. and others, to make a run at a weak American League Central division. It will be interesting to see if they can stay in contention, or if they become sellers at the trade deadline this summer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That’s always fun. Burger Bomb. Those are the two favorites.”</blockquote><p>Burger entered Saturday’s game hitting just .228 and with only three home runs and 11 RBIs for the White Sox this season. Perhaps the 2022 National Burger Day would go down as where the infielder finally turns on the grill and put it together at the plate more consistently for the rest of the 2022 MLB season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
