Commanders Trade For Trey Hendrickson Pitched By ESPN
Commanders Trade For Trey Hendrickson Pitched By ESPN originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
It has been an expensive offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals, with much to celebrate there.
And it's been an expensive one for the Washington Commanders, too.

Who wants to spend next?
In Cincy, the team broke the piggy back to keep happy their star wide receiver tandem of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, resulting in a cost of over $275 million between the two contract extensions.
But left in the dust - so far, anyway - is one more star
And if the Bengals can't figure out how to also keep happy their biggest defensive star, defensive end Trey Hendrickson?
Maybe that's that's where the Commanders can swoop in.
Hendrickson has asked for a contract extension since the start of the offseason. He is currently slated for an over $18 million cap hit in the final year of his deal. ... and there is market-based logic now that makes it clear he can ask for $30 mil per year or maybe even more.

He was initially encouraged to seek out a trade. That didn't work.
He's been involved in extension talks. That hasn't worked, either.
So now comes a major turn: Teams have called; we bet that group includes Washington and GM Adam Peters. The Bengals have been steadfast in stating that they want first-round value for the veteran if they do deal him.
As Hendrickson grows more angry and claims the Bengals have lied to him? That's not happening.
And another twist: ESPN is suggesting a trade that would cost Washington nothing more than two Day 3 picks and young D-lineman Jer'Zhan Newton.
Really? That's it?

Maybe Cincy management folds and pays the guy who gets a rather amazing 17.5 sacks per year.
Or maybe it means management demonstrates a willingness to accept less than a premium pick package.
Washington is shy on picks; it can only offer so much as a result of the Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel trades. But Washington isn't shy about being aggressive in talent grabs.
And to ESPN? Hendrickson is "grabbable.''

Washington Capitals' Spencer Carbery wins the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year
Spencer Carbery of the Washington Capitals has won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's coach of the year. The league announced the honor Saturday after members of Carbery's family surprised him with the trophy earlier in the week. Carbery is the first person to be named coach of the year in the NHL, American Hockey League and ECHL. Carbery was a runaway winner of the Jack Adams as voted on by the league's broadcasters, receiving 81 of 103 first-place votes. Winnipeg's Scott Arniel was second and Montreal's Martin St. Louis a distant third. In his second season running an NHL bench, Carbery guided Washington to first place in the Eastern Conference. He helped several players set career highs as the Capitals reached the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 'The best thing indication is a lot of our guys had career years, and I think he's a big part of it: the way he communicates, the way he holds guys accountable, the way he can fit guys into certain roles and use their strengths,' Capitals general manager Chris Patrick said at his end-of-season news conference. "I think the relationship between the players and the coach throughout our lineup was excellent this year.' When he was named a finalist last month, Carbery said it was an organizational award. 'I look at our entire staff and everything that they put in, our players, management to provide the players everything,' Carbery said. "It's for my name to be there as the figurehead of the organization, but I look at that to me that's a team-nominated award of what we've done as a coaching staff, management team, our players, what they've accomplished in the regular season.' Carbery drew praise from counterparts around the league for how he got an aging roster into the postseason in his first season in Washington and took it to another level by transforming the Capitals into one of the league's top teams. "He's turned them into a deep, four-line juggernaut that just wins hockey games,' said Tampa Bay's Jon Cooper, the longest-tenured coach in the league who won the Stanley Cup in 2020 and '21 and has made two other trips to the final. 'They do everything right. There's no egos on the team and he's found a way to coach a Hall of Fame superstar and coach players that are just surviving to be in the lineup every night and he's found a way to make it all work.' ___

Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip
Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite another spectacular home run-saving catch by Julio Rodriguez, the Seattle Mariners dropped their series opener 5-4 to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Advertisement However, they may soon have some reinforcements on the way as they try to keep pace with the AL West-leading Houston Astros. Seattle ace Logan Gilbert continues to work his way back from a right elbow flexor strain, which has shelved him since late April. During his second rehab outing on Wednesday, the 28-year-old threw 60 pitches across three innings, allowing five hits, one walk, one hit batter and two earned runs. SI's Teren Kowatsch noted that, "He touched 96.8 mph on his fastball in the first inning, but his velocity dipped to just under 94 mph at the end of his outing. His average velocity was 95.4 mph." However, Gilbert acknowledged afterward he "wasn't concerned" about it, as reported by The Seattle Times' Adam Jude. Advertisement On Friday, Mariners manager Dan Wilson announced Friday that Gilbert will make "at least" one more rehab start with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, according to Daniel Kramer. Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (36) delivers a Hamilton-Imagn Images Kramer added that while the date has not yet been confirmed, "it'd likely be on Tuesday." If that outing were to go well, it could put Gilbert on track to rejoin his Seattle teammates for the Mariners' upcoming six-game homestand against the Cleveland Guardians and Boston Red Sox. Through his first six big-league starts this season, the Mariners ace has posted a sparkling 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP across 30 1/3 innings with 44 strikeouts.
