OXON HILL, Md. -- If Bryce Harpers representatives have had real discussions about a long-term contract with the Washington Nationals, general manager Mike Rizzo is not tipping his hand.Meeting with reporters Monday at baseballs winter meetings, Rizzo deflected a question about whether hes engaged Harper or agent Scott Boras about an extension for the slugger who was the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year and 2015 NL MVP.Its not like us to discuss anything that we (say) when were talking to players about anything, so Im not going to answer any of those kind of questions, Rizzo said. Those are private discussions between us and the players.Harper -- who is coming off a down year, hitting .243 with 24 homers and 86 RBI for the NL East champions -- is under Washingtons control for two more seasons.He can become a free agent for the first time after the 2018 season.With every player that you acquire, its a possibility that you may lose them in their specific time frame. With Bryce Harper and every other player that has a contract expiring, you better make plans, Rizzo said, when asked about preparing for the chance that Harper could leave in 2018. And its not just Bryce Harper; its everybody on the roster.Rizzo said he speaks weekly with Boras -- and other agents. That the GM would be in regular contact with Boras is hardly surprising, given that he represents several Nationals in addition to Harper, including pitchers Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg and third baseman Anthony Rendon.Were constantly talking to him throughout the year, throughout the winter, during the season, Rizzo said. Theyre not specific negotiations, but theyre discussions about strategies and philosophies and all those things that come into it.Among other topics touched on by Rizzo:- Things just didnt work out with closer Mark Melancon, who was acquired by Washington at the trade deadline last season and agreed to a free-agent deal with the San Francisco Giants. Rizzo said the Nationals offered market value, but the Giants offered him more.- With Melancons departure, Rizzo acknowledged the obvious, saying: The bullpen is something were going to have to address.- On the possibility of trading for White Sox starter Chris Sale or Pittsburgh outfielder Andrew McCutchen, Rizzo said: Weve had ongoing discussions with a lot of different teams. The White Sox and the Pirates have been two of them. But weve got a lot of lines in the water. Weve got a lot of irons in the fire. ... Were going to be aggressive if the occasion arises, but were going to be prudent and smart about it.- On whether he feels a sense of urgency to improve his roster, Rizzo responded: I think urgency is a mistake. Were coming off a 95-win team with a good young core of players and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.Pas Cher Air Max 97 .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona.

Cron isnt missing many pitches anymore.Cron hit two home runs to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Tuesday night.Mike Trout went 3 for 4 with two doubles and he scored on Crons home run in the first inning and on Andrelton Simmons bloop single in the eighth.Cron homered in the third inning to give the Angels a 3-0 lead. It was his fourth multi-home run game this season and brought his total to 14.Hes found his timing, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. He had figured some things out before he was hit in the hand and hes carried the form. Hes swinging really well.Cron was hit in the hand by a fastball in Baltimore and underwent surgery on July 12. After missing 35 games, the Angels first baseman picked things up right where he left off.I try to remember what exactly Im doing so I can just get it in my mind and try to stay with it if something like that happens, Cron said. Im just swinging at good pitches and when I get the good ones Im not missing them like I sometimes did earlier in the year. Thats a big plus.Jered Weaver (10-11) limited the Reds to two earned runs and eight hits, walked none and struck out five.I think he pitched with his fastball -- much like he did in Toronto -- with good command, Scioscia said. Weave can get that fastball going on both sides of the plate. He spins the ball so well and changes speeds so well and then everything opens up for him.Nearing his 34th birthday, Weavers fastball doesnt have the velocity it used to. But Weaver was pleased with his command and the location of his off-speed pitches.I threw an 87 up there in the seventh, Weaver said. So watch out.Weaver pitched into the seventh inning for the first time since July 17, but ran into trouble after getting the first out. Eugenio Suarez hit a two-run homer to make it 3-2 and Jose Peraza hit a line drive single to right field. Mike Morin relieved and retired the next two batters to strand Peraza.The Reds had runners in scoring position in the eighth and ninth innings but J.C. Ramirez got Scott Schebler to strike out on a checked swing in the eighth and Fernando Salas got Zack Cozart to pop out to first basee for his sixth save.dddddddddddde got ourselves in a situation to have the potential go-ahead run at the plate in the ninth inning off their closer, manager Bryan Price said. Considering we were down 3-0, that wasnt the worst thing in the world we could do. We got ourselves in a situation to steal one and we just couldnt get it done.Cincinnati left nine runners on base.Tim Adleman (2-2), who allowed both home runs to Cron, lost his first major league decision since May 6, giving up three earned runs in six innings with four strikeouts and a walk.I thought he did a terrific job, Price said. He went after (Cron) in that last at-bat. He wasnt going to give in to him and give him anything he could hit. He made good pitches, got him to expand the zone and got that little chopper back to the mound that last time.Adleman was relieved by Anaheim native Michael Lorenzen, who went to nearby Fullerton Union High School and played college ball at Cal State Fullerton.Lorenzen put two on in the eighth before Simmons dropped a single into shallow right field to score Trout from third. It was the only run Lorenzen allowed in two innings in his first appearance at his hometown ballpark.TRAINERS ROOMReds: Pereza was in the starting lineup one night after leaving the game with a facial contusion. Peraza was cleared of a concussion following Monday nights game after an errant pickoff throw by Matt Shoemaker missed Crons glove at first base and struck Peraza in his face.Angels: 3B Yunel Escobar worked out with the team Tuesday and barring any setbacks, is on track to be activated Friday in Seattle. Escobar was placed on the 7-day concussion list on Aug. 20.UP NEXTReds: LHP Brandon Finnegan will close out Cincinnatis final interleague series of the season.
