The Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping to keep unrestricted free agent forward Mason Raymond, however theyre not alone in wanting the services of the 28-year-old. Buster Skrine Jersey . According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Leafs remain interested in re-signing Raymond, but several other teams have reached out to the former 25-goal scorer. Raymond signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Leafs prior to last season following a training camp tryout. He scored 19 goals and added 16 assists while appearing in all 82 of the Leafs regular season games. In 456 career games with the Leafs and Vancouver Canucks, Raymond has scored 99 goals and 223 points. His career high in goals – 25 – came in the 2009-10 season with the Canucks. Raymond was drafted by Vancouver in the second round, 51st overall, of the 2005 Draft. Corey Levin Jersey . The goals took Liverpools tally in the Premier League this season to 70, overtaking Manchester City as the top scorers, and left the fourth-place team just four points behind league leader Chelsea. Devin Hester Jersey . Betancourt was 2-5 with a 4.08 ERA and 16 saves for the Rockies last season before tearing a ligament in his pitching elbow. He considered undergoing platelet-rich plasma therapy to fix his arm, but announced in August his decision to have Tommy John surgery. http://www.custombearsjersey.com/custom-bronko-nagurski-jersey-large-396t.html . "He came up to me and said, I want to train," said Toronto coach Ryan Nelsen. The 26-year-old midfielder is expected to play Saturday night when Toronto hosts D.C. United, returning to his Major League Soccer squad with mixed feelings about the Americans World Cup run -- sad that it ended when it did but proud of his teams performance. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Mookie Betts put his first grand slam as his top rookie season highlight so far. Betts hit Bostons fourth slam of the year, Anthony Ranaudo pitched six effective innings and the Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-4 Friday night. "I cant tell you the last time Ive hit a grand slam, going back to high school and everything else," Betts said. "Just to hit one is pretty enjoyable." After Yoenis Cespedes drove in his second run of the game with a double, Betts connected off Chris Archer (8-7) to cap a five-run second inning that made it 8-0. Ranaudo (3-0), recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket before the game, gave up three runs and five hits. He has won all three of his big league starts. "I thought we had a lot of good at-bats," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Mookie, obviously, was the big blow in the second inning. Anthony Ranaudo made it stand up." Archer allowed eight runs and 10 hits over four innings. There were no incidents in the first meeting between the teams since Archer and the Rays took issue with the way David Ortiz acted after hitting a three-run homer off the Tampa Bay pitcher on July 27. Archer made a point of saying he didnt appreciate Ortiz flipping his bat before beginning his home run trot, and added that the star DH "feels like hes bigger than the game." Former Rays ace David Price, traded to Detroit July 31, and Ortiz began feuding after Big Papi homered off the former AL Cy Young winner last fall in the AL championship series. Price hit Ortiz with a fastball May 30, leading to more verbal sparring. Ortiz singled in five at-bats. Cespedes, Daniiel Nava and Will Middlebrooks each hit RBI singles during a three-run first. Nick Kwiatkoski Jersey. The Rays also made an error in the inning, and have committed at least one error in six consecutive games. "It broke badly," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "We made a couple mistakes." Boston sent nine batters to the plate in the both the first and second innings. Brandon Guyer hit a two-run homer in the fifth and added an RBI single in the ninth for the Rays, who have lost nine of 13. TRAINERS ROOM Red Sox: Farrell fully expects INF Xander Bogaerts to be reinstated Saturday from the seven-day concussion list. Rays: CF Desmond Jennings was a late scratch due to left knee soreness. ... OF Wil Myers had an infield single in four at-bats and is 6 for 37 with 14 strikeouts since returning from a broken right wrist that kept him sidelined for 70 games. MINOR MATTERS The Gulf Coast League Red Sox and one of the two GCL Yankees teams have advanced to the best-of-three championship series. Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo, signed to a seven-year, $72.5 million contract a week ago, is scheduled to make his pro debut in Game 2 Sunday. ... Boston LHP Edwin Escobar was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket to make room for Ranaudo. JETERS FAREWELL The Rays will honour retiring New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter before the game on Sept. 16. Its the middle game of Jeters final series at Tampa Bay. UP NEXT Rays RHP Jake Odorizzi (9-11) and Red Sox RHP Allen Webster (3-2) are Saturday nights scheduled starters. Webster gave up two runs, three hits and five walks in 5 1-3 innings to beat Archer on July 27. ' ' '
