On Saturday, the <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/mlb-news-marlins-jazz-chisholm-jr-ruled-out-for-another-six-weeks-2334-20220723-SPD-2334.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Milwaukee Brewers</a> locked up left-handed pitcher <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/mlb-news-blue-jays-and-charlie-montoyo-part-ways-john-schneider-appointed-temporary-coach-2192-20220713-SPD-2192.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Ashby </a>to a new five-year deal through 2027 with additional options for the following two seasons. The news was broken by David Stearns, the side’s president of baseball operations.



According to Joel Sherman of The New York Post, Ashby’s guaranteed salary under the five-year deal is $20.55 million. If all options are exercised and Ashby reaches all of his escalators, Sherman writes that Ashby’s total compensation could be more than doubled, reaching $52.5 million.



The agreement not only ensures that Ashby will be a key component of the Brewers’ future, but also provides the 24-year-old with financial stability and peace of mind at a crucial time in his professional development. He was taken by the Brewers in the fourth round of the 2018 draft and swiftly rose through the minor leagues, earning Minor League Pitcher of the Year honors in 2019 and making his Major League Baseball debut the following year.



<h2>What David Stearns and Craig Counsell had to say on Aaron Ashby’s new deal</h2>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">“We are very happy to reach a multi-year agreement with Aaron. Throughout his time in our organization, Aaron has demonstrated a unique combination of persistence, character and talent. He is establishing himself as one of the premier young pitchers in baseball, and we look forward to watching his continued growth and success,” David Stearns said.</blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">“He’s very early in his big league career, but he’s a player that I think everybody thinks can have great success in this league. I’m happy that it kind of worked out for both sides and that he’s going to be a Brewer for a long time“, Brewers manager Craig Counsell added.</blockquote>

On Friday, the Marlins announced that Chisholm has a stress reaction in his lower back. 



He will be out for around two months. For the first time in his career, 24-year-old Chisholm made the National League All-Star squad. 



Unfortunately, he couldn’t make it to Tuesday’s game in Los Angeles due to a scheduling conflict. Because of a right lower back ailment, he has been out of commission since June 29.



<h2>What Marlins manager Don Mattingly said about Chisholm’s injury</h2>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">“He was really pushing hard to get to that All-Star Game, so we knew there had to be something more seriously wrong when he couldn’t make it. Now, it’s time to take the steps for him to get it right and go through that process. You feel bad for Jazz. He’s having a great year.”</blockquote>



This new setback seems likely to keep the explosive Miami second baseman out for the foreseeable future. The first-time All-breakthrough Star’s season has been hampered by recurring back problems since he was placed on the 10-day injured list in late June with what was first diagnosed as a lower back strain.

MLB News: Marlins' Jazz Chisholm Jr. ruled out for another six weeks

It’s the end of the road for <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/2022-mlb-all-star-game-shohei-ohtani-and-aaron-judge-present-in-midsummer-classic-lineups-2119-20220710-SPD-2119.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charlie Montoyo</a> with the <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/mlb-news-dodgers-david-price-opens-up-about-retirement-rumors-2025-20220705-SPD-2025.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto Blue Jays</a> after a rough month of July. It was reported on Wednesday that John Schneider will take over as temporary manager after the dismissal of manager Charlie Montoyo. 



Casey Candaele, the skipper of Triple-A Buffalo, has been named temporary bench coach. So far this season, Toronto have only won three games in July, after a 1-7 road trip that featured a four-game loss to the Seattle Mariners. 



It was announced that Montoyo will be leaving his post after Tuesday’s 4-3 victory against the Philadelphia Phillies at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays have a record of 46-42 and are currently in third place in the American League’s Wild Card standings and fourth place in the AL East, respectively.



<h2>Charlie Montoyo leaves Toronto with even record</h2>



When Montoyo signed a contract extension through 2023 one week before the start of the new season. His 236-236 record with the Blue Jays is a stalemate at the conclusion of his time in Toronto.



The Blue Jays spent a lot of money to bring in the next generation of players like George Springer, Jose Berroa, and Hyun-jin Ryu. In addition, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette had made their MLB debuts during Montoyo’s fourth season as manager.

The game will once again feature the pennant-winning managers from the previous season in both the American and National leagues. As a result, Astros manager Dusty Baker will take charge of the American League, while Braves manager Brian Snitker will oversee the National League.

The <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/mlb-world-series-champions-list-of-all-time-winners-80-20220502-SPD-80.html">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> are going through a great moment in the 2022 <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/the-top-3-mlb-rivalries-of-all-time-267-20220503-SPD-267.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLB</a> season, as they’re atop the <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/mlb-playoffs-format-how-do-the-postseason-work-213-20220503-SPD-213.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National League</a> with a 50-29 record. But there’s one thing that may concern fans ahead of next year.



Veteran pitcher David Price is playing the final year of his contract, and at 36 years of age, many believe he could call it a career at the end of the season. Price has already ccomplished some incredible things, including a World Series with the <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/mlb/alex-cora-explains-what-the-red-sox-can-learn-from-the-celtics-830-20220517-SPD-830.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Red Sox</a>, a Cy Young award, and several All-Star games.



But all good things come to an end, and maybe there’s not much left for him at this point of his career. Though the season is far from being over, Price admits that he’s thinking about retirement.



<h2>Dodgers’ David Price considering retirement at the end of 2022 MLB season</h2>



“I mean, yes and no,” Price said, via Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. “My (two) kids love it so much. That’s the only thing that makes me even think about playing any longer. I always told myself I’d ask my son, ‘Do you want daddy to play baseball or do you want daddy to be home all the time?’ I asked him before this year and he said, ‘I want you to be home.’ I said, ‘Are you sure?’ He said, ‘Yeah.’ Now when I ask him, he says, ‘No, I want you to keep playing.’”



It’s certainly been a wonderful ride for Price, regardless of when he decides to step away from baseball. Many players dream to achieve what he did, so he should be proud of his career.
