MANCHESTER, England -- After an offseason of heavy spending, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is to set about trimming his squad -- and one player whose future could be in doubt is goalkeeper Joe Hart.Guardiola was asked Friday how central Hart was to City and the England international was hardly given a ringing endorsement.Im so happy about his qualities, his behavior, what he means to this club, Guardiola said. After, we are going to decide inside the doors (of the club). Now, he is a player of us.City has been linked with a move for goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who plays for Guardiolas former club Barcelona and is more comfortable than Hart with the ball at his feet. Its a quality that Guardiola likes in a goalkeeper, so attacks can be built from the back.Hart has been with City since 2006, and is Englands undisputed No. 1. However, he had a disappointing campaign for England during the European Championship, blamed for two of the goals conceded -- including Icelands winner in the embarrassing last-16 exit to the smallest nation in the competition.Guardiola said he would be busy shuffling his squad until the last day of the transfer window, with one of the priorities getting the numbers down from the 28 or 29 he says he has at his disposal. Samir Nasri and Wilfried Bony could also be set to leave City, having been left off the squad for the upcoming Champions League playoff against Steaua Bucharest.We have to reduce our squad, Guardiola said.City has spent around $200 million this offseason in signing eight players -- the latest being center back John Stones from Everton for a fee of $62 million on Tuesday.Stones is another technically gifted player. And while doubts have been cast about his defensive qualities, Stones is the type of ball-player that Guardiola likes having at center back.With his ability to build up (play), with his intelligence to read the next step, the next pass, behind the line, I think he is a good, good, good player so we are happy to have him, Guardiola said.Stones may be handed his debut against Sunderland on Saturday, in Guardiolas first competitive game in charge of City.Of course, there is a lack of time, its true, Guardiola said. But he reads the game. The people who are intelligent, they read exactly what is going on, what they have to do. John Stones, that is why we took him. I think hes ready.City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak visited the club this week, and chatted to the new players during training. He will be at Etihad Stadium for the Sunderland game, which begins possibly the most exciting era in Citys history.City is the favorite to win the Premier League title, but Guardiola doesnt expect the team to be at its best immediately.To create something, we need time, to create something with ideas to attack we need time, he said. But to play with soul and something inside, we dont need time.Tomorrow we dont know if everyone is going to play good or if we will get the result, but I will not accept not playing with soul. We can do that from the first day. Miles Sanders Youth Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks.

SAN DIEGO -- With the NL West won by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Francisco Giants have six more games to try to clinch a wild-card berth.The good news is, they dont have to play the San Diego Padres anymore.Rookie Manuel Margot tripled in the seventh inning and scored the go-ahead run on Wil Myers single as the Padres beat San Francisco 4-3 to drop the Giants a game behind the New York Mets in the NL wild-card race.The Mets beat Philadelphia 17-0.

The Dodgers came into Sunday seven games ahead of the Giants.The Padres split the four-game series and beat the Giants for the eighth time in 10 games since the All-Star break. San Francisco had swept the Padres three times in the seasons first two months.You know its coming, so were battling for the wild card, said manager Bruce Bochy, who managed the Giants to World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014. You know thats inevitable, that was going to happen. You understand that, and sure youre always disappointed you dont win your division, but right now our focus is keep trying to win games and get there and have a shot at it.The Giants finish at home with three games against the Rockies and three against the Dodgers.Myers said the Padres didnt necessarily savor helping ruin the Giants chances at the division title.The only thing were focused on is playing good baseball, Myers said. Obviously we want to win every game. Were not going out there (with) our goal to beat the Giants. Our goal is to get better and get these younger guys experience.Why have the Padres dominated the Giants, who led the NL West by 6 1/2 games at the break?Weve just played better baseball, Myers said. I feel weve been pretty good here in the second half. I think weve done a lot of good things and I like where our teams at.Margot, called up Wednesday from Pacific Coast League champion El Paso, tripled to right center off Cory Gearrin (3-2) with one out in the seventh and scored on Myers single.Margot doubled in the first and hit an RBI single in the second, both off rookie Ty Blach,, who was making his first big league start, in place of the injured Johnny Cueto.ddddddddddddBrandon Morrow (1-0) got two outs for the victory. Brad Hand got the last five outs for his first save.San Francisco took a 3-1 lead in the third off lefty Clayton Richard. Buster Posey hit a two-run single and an RBI groundout by Kelby Tomlinson.One run was unearned due to catcher Austin Hedges throwing the ball away trying to get Trevor Brown at second base on Blachs bunt. The bunt went only a few inches in front of home plate and Blach had a hard time getting out of Hedges way.It took a moment for Hedges to get the ball and he rushed his throw. Padres manager Andy Green came out to argue, to no avail.San Diego tied it on Adam Rosales home run with two outs in the third inning off Blach and Yangervis Solartes RBI single in the fifth off George Kontos.The Padres had taken a 1-0 lead when Margot singled in Hedges in the second.Blach pitched three innings, allowing two runs and four hits, striking out three and walking three.I just didnt execute as many pitches there in the first, Blach said. The situation kind of dictated pitch around a little bit there and try to get to the lefty, there were two outs, a couple guys on, so we did that a little bit, and the pitch count just got away from me there.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: SS Brandon Crawford returned to the starting lineup for the first time since dislocating the pinky on his glove hand on Tuesday night. ...
