GILBERT, AZ — There's a new store in Gilbert to help you make money off items you're not wearing anymore or find great clothing at a discount!

Indy Clover opened its first Arizona location in January. The concept started in Utah.

Owners Dallin and Alyssa Johnson tell ABC15 they've seen a great response from the community.

"Everyone's loved it," says Alyssa. "People have been making great money off of it, and then also getting good deals. So it's been perfect for everyone."

So how does this concept work?

"In the store, we have 74 booths," Dallin says. "People bring in their own clothes, own accessories. Price tag their own items. We provide hangers, tags, the booth, obviously, and then they leave their clothes here for a week. At the end of the week, they can come get their clothes that didn't sell and then take home two-thirds of their earnings."

Every booth is an independent seller, clearing their families' closets of new and used items.

"I love to shop. So, I always have way too much in my closet," says seller Ally Solum.

She's rented a booth for five weeks and tells us she still has more to sell.

"I'm definitely keeping it for one more week, and I have like some things that I'll bring in tomorrow to restock."

It costs $35 dollars to have a booth for a week and the owners promise you won't lose any money.

"If they don't make $35 worth, then we reimburse them," says Dallin.

For those looking for deals, you can find even deeper discounts two days a week.

"On Thursday and Friday, we have discount day," adds Alyssa. "So, they can do 25, 50 or 75% off if they choose."

The prices and discounts are all set by the sellers.

For many, this feels easier than selling online and smarter than a yard sale.

"It's, I mean, recycling the concept," Dallin says. "Instead of just stuffing things away. You get to make your money back."

They also have a "Clover Corner" where local small businesses who don't have a physical storefront can sell their items.

You can learn more about Indy Clover on their website or follow them on social media @IndyCloverGilbert.

TUCSON, Ariz.-- The Jimmie baseball team made it three wins in their last four outings at the Tucson Invitational Games, defeating No. 16 Arizona Christian 4-3 and Park University-Gilbert 10-5.

Jamestown (10-6) plays its final two games in Tucson Friday with a doubleheader against Ottawa University-Arizona.

UJ had a 3-1 lead against Arizona Christian after four innings, but the Firestorm scored single runs in the seventh and eighth to tie the game.

Troy Berg delivered a two-out single to bring in Alex Alva with the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth, and Kendall Yackley pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record the save. Making his first start of the season for UJ was Elias Harris, who went five innings and gave up one run on three hits while striking out six, although he did not factor in the decision. Eric Kessler, the third of four Jimmie hurlers, got credit for the win.

Jordan Singleton was 3-for-3 at the plate while Berg, Yackley, and Triston Madison all had two hits apiece. Payton Smith and Chase Burke both drove in runs for UJ in the second inning, and Smith extended the Jimmie lead in the fourth with another RBI.

Jamestown recorded another victory with Wednesday's 10-5 win against Park University-Gilbert.

Alex Alva's two-run triple in the bottom of the fourth broke a 4-4 deadlock, then Chase Burke and Triston Madison added to the lead with RBI singles. Park-Gilbert got within 8-6 after adding a pair of runs in the top of the sixth, but the Jimmies countered with two of their own in the seventh.

Chase Burke went 4-for-5 and scored four runs from the leadoff spot. Madison, Jordan Singleton, and Xander Orejudos each were 3-for-4 while Alva had his first two-hit game of the season.

Trei Hough (1-2) pitched four innings and struck out eight to get the win. Three Jimmie relievers combined to pitch the final five innings and fanned seven hitters while allowing five hits.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a long-term contract extension with outfielder Corbin Carroll, one of the top prospects in all of baseball, Steve Gilbert reports. According to Gilbert, the deal will be for eight years and a guaranteed $111 million. An option for the 2031 season, if exercised, would push the total value to $134 million. CBS Sports HQ has confirmed the deal.

Carroll presently has just 38 games of major-league service time, which helps make this reported deal a record:

It is the largest contract ever signed by a player with less than 100 days Major League service time (and no foreign playing experience) eclipsing the $70 million extension recently signed by Michael Harris.

— Steve Gilbert (@SteveGilbertMLB) March 11, 2023

Nick Piecoro was first to report that the two sides were in talks on a long-term deal.

Carroll, 22, made his major-league debut last season, and in 32 games for the Diamondbacks he slashed .260/.330/.500 (133 OPS+) with four home runs and nine doubles. His rookie status will remain intact for the 2023 season, and the former No. 16 overall pick projects to be Arizona's starting left fielder. Earlier this year, our R.J. Anderson ranked Carroll as baseball's No. 2 prospect. Here's what he wrote:

"Carroll was limited by injuries and the COVID-19 pandemic to 142 minor-league games ahead of his debut in Arizona last August. The lack of repetitions didn't prevent him from batting .260/.330/.500 (133 OPS+) with four home runs and two steals in 32 games. Carroll continued to exhibit swing-and-miss tendencies within the zone, ranking in the 27th percentile in that respect. That flaw won't sink him (Paul Goldschmidt and the aforementioned Gunnar Henderson were just two recognizable names around him on the leaderboard), but it may result in a higher strikeout rate than he was expected to post in the past. Still, Carroll is a well-rounded center fielder with top-of-the-scale speed who ought to provide oodles of secondary value. He should begin the season in the majors."

At a minimum, this deal would lock up Carroll through his age-29 season and buy out at least two of his free-agent years. If the option year is exercised, then Carroll would reach free agency for the first time at age 31.

The usual incentives for such deals involving very young players apply. Committing long-term to the Diamondbacks gives Carroll life-changing money and a powerful hedge against career-altering injuries and struggles. From the club standpoint, the extension gives them cost certainty through Carroll's arbitration years, lengthens the window of team control, and installs a centerpiece talent around which to build as they look to move into contending mode. There's risk on both sides in arrangements such as these, but a sensible middle ground seems to have been achieved.

Other recent long-term contract extensions involving players with less than one year of MLB service time include Wander Franco with the Rays (11 years, $182 million), Ronald Acuña with the Braves (seven years, $99.44 million), Harris' deal noted above, Luis Robert of the White Sox (six years, $50 million), and Eloy Jiménez of the White Sox (six years, $43 million). Robert and Jiménez signed their extensions prior to ever appearing in the majors.

Watch Now:

The 2023 World Baseball Classic is already underway and Team USA will finally get in on the action Saturday, playing its first official game of the tournament in a clash with underdog Great Britain. So to get the baseball enthusiast in general and the U.S. rooter in particular in the proper frame of mind, we're here for a quick walking tour of this edition of Team USA. We'll do in the timeless medium of "things to know," in which we designate multiple things – things related to the topic at hand – as being worthy of knowing.

Relatedly, here is the full WBC schedule, and here is everything you need to know about this year's event. Now let's talk Team USA.

1. Team USA is the defending WBC champs

Thanks largely to the pandemic, the 2023 edition is the first WBC in six years. Way back yonder in 2017, the U.S. claimed its first WBC title with a 2-1 win over Japan in the semifinals and an 8-0 victory over Puerto Rico in the finals. That marked the first time in the relatively brief history of the WBC that Team USA was able to win it:

Of note is that the MVP of Team USA's 2017 title run, Marcus Stroman, is back in the WBC this time around, but he's not pitching for the U.S. In appreciation and honor of his mother's Puerto Rican roots, he'll be helming the rotation for Yadier Molina's Puerto Rico squad.

2. The U.S. should be considered the favorites in its first-round pool

And what about the chances for a U.S. repeat? It figures to be aided by the fact that the U.S. in the round-robin opening round will be part of a winnable Pool C. The top two teams in each pool will advance to the quarterfinals, and in the case of the U.S. they'll be competing against Mexico, Canada, Colombia, and Great Britain to claim one of those two Pool C spots. Per our Matt Snyder's pre-tourney WBC Power Rankings, Team USA should be the pool favorites on paper. They come in ranked third, and Mexico and Canada check in at No. 6 and No. 10, respectively. Saturday's opponent for the U.S., Great Britain, is pegged 16th out of 20 teams. Compare that to the utter gauntlet that is Pool D – No. 1 Dominican Republic, No. 4 Venezuela, and No. 5 Puerto Rico will all call it home for the initial round.

After pool play, the WBC becomes in essence a single-elimination, eight-team tournament, and in a sport like baseball, chaos tends to reign in such a format. Team USA, though, should be a part of it.

3. The American lineup is stacked with All-Stars

Does the 2023 WBC team feature the best collection of hitters in Team USA history? You can make a persuasive argument that it does. Consider the lineup that manager Mark DeRosa can trot out against right-handed pitching:

As for other options, including potential platoon partners, the U.S. roster also includes the imposing likes of Pete Alonso, Cedric Mullins, Will Smith, Tim Anderson, and Bobby Witt Jr. It's also possible that Betts sees time at second base, which would give DeRosa even more roster flexibility. Shuffle it around however you choose – the point is that it's a powerhouse lineup no matter how you structure it. Speaking of which, here's DeRosa's actual lineup for the recent exhibition against the Giants:

If the U.S. winds up defending belt and title, then the offense will probably carry them there.

4. The rotation is a big question mark

And now for the letdown. Finding starting pitchers willing to go full-bore in the WBC when the calendar says they should still be ramping up is always a challenge, usage rules notwithstanding. The U.S. assortment of starters this time around speaks to this reality. Right now, Lance Lynn of the White Sox, Miles Mikolas of the Cardinals, teammate Adam Wainwright, Nick Martinez of the Padres, Kyle Freeland of the Rockies, Merrill Kelly of the Diamondbacks, and Brady Singer of the Royals constitute DeRosa's rotation options. To be sure, that's hardly an embarrassing crop, but it's well shy of the star power found in the lineup. As well, one of those pitchers – Wainwright – is 41 years of age and has been battling velocity loss this spring.

In addition to Stroman's situation noted above, the U.S. also planned to have Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and Nestor Cortes of the Yankees in the mix, but health concerns got in the way. As well, Giants ace Logan Webb was poised to participate but wound up not being on the roster. Maybe all of this isn't such a concern in pool play, but it could be once the U.S. runs into a thunderous lineup like the Dominican Republic's down the road.

5. The bullpen may be capable of picking up the slack

All that said, the U.S. bullpen may just be there for U.S. starting pitchers with nowhere left to turn. Given the high-leverage nature of things, contemporary managerial strategy, and the limitations placed on starters, relievers figure to play a very important role in the WBC. Fortunately for the U.S., they should be well equipped on that front.

Leading the charge for the U.S. relief corps will be, in no particular order, Devin Williams of the Brewers, Adam Ottavino of the Mets, Ryan Pressly of the Astros, Jason Adam of the Rays, David Bednar of the Pirates, Brooks Raley of the Rays, and Kendall Graveman of the White Sox (and an unused starter or two to be named). That octet in 2022 combined for an ERA of 2.32 with 580 strikeouts in 468 2/3 innings and a strikeout-to-unintentional-walk ratio of 3.92. In the aggregate, that's elite run prevention, a lot of missed bats, and dominance at the command-and-control level. There's not much in the way of depth from the left side, but overall that's a dominant assemblage of relievers. That's just what they need, given the suspect rotation.

The Arizon self storage sector continues to be generous compared to other states. According to a recent StorageCafe study, most cities in Arizona are deemed renter-friendly, with plenty of storage options and reasonable prices. Moreover, following the national trend, self storage rents have decreased in many locations around the state, with Scottsdale experiencing the biggest drop year-over-year among the biggest Arizona cities – 4.8%.

DEEPER DIVE: Here are the finalists for the 2023 RED Awards

Peoria, however, is an exception to the state-wide trend, with rents climbing 3.9% year-over-year. The good momentum for self storage rates can be attributed to a strong economic and migration picture with the city emerging as one of 2022’s boomtowns. In fact, Peoria’s population has been on an upward trend for the last decade, seeing an impressive 21.46% growth in 2021 compared to 2012. Coupled with an undersupplied self storage sector – which offers approx. 4.2 sq. ft. per capita, considerably below the national benchmark – it’s no surprise storage rents are growing.

Currently, a storage unit in Peoria rents at $127 per month on average. Take a look at how this compares with the rents in Arizona’s other major cities and at how these rates have been changing:

Self Storage in Arizona Remains Good Value with Phoenix Showing Below-Average Rates

If you live in Metro Phoenix, you will be experiencing the area’s magnetic pull on new businesses and residents, plus self storage that is generally good value. The monthly average rates in Mesa, Glendale and Phoenix itself — $110, $114 and $123, respectively — are below the national figure of $126.

Tucson also posts a very reasonable monthly rate of $120, a small decrease of 1.6% year-over-year. The city of Phoenix’s rate dropped by 4% from 2021 to 2022 and the other big Valley of the Sun cities saw reductions of between 2% and 4.8% — nationally the figure was a 2.3% decrease.

Many of the country’s other big urban hubs are seeing much higher prices — the average monthly rate in similarly sized Philadelphia is $144. The big coastal metropolises, meanwhile, may charge around twice as much as Phoenix, with average rates in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York at $264, $253 and $242, respectively.

Arizona's Self Storage Is Being Boosted in Many Places With Tucson Leading

Scottsdale has one of the strongest Valley of the Sun storage sectors, offering 7.17 square feet per capita. In addition — and this could further lower the average rent of $174 there — around 220K square feet of storage space was completed, planned or under construction in 2022, per Yardi Matrix data. That represents 8% of Scottsdale’s inventory — coincidentally, the same increase of storage coming online was registered in both Gilbert and Peoria last year.

The storage per person in some Metro Phoenix cities is not so high, with square footages of 5.80 in Mesa, 4.51 in Chandler, 4.06 in Tempe, 3.67 in Gilbert and 2.58 in Glendale. But if you are a resident of one of these fine places, you also have access to 100 or so facilities in the city of Phoenix itself. The state capital offers 4.82 square feet of storage space per person, but no less than 386K square feet of new space was reported in 2022, a 4% increase of the inventory.

Tucson, however, beats out all Metro Phoenix locations, having 7.64 square feet per resident, above the national average. In addition, storage provision there is increasing more rapidly than in any other major Arizonan city, with 625K square feet of space completed, planned or under-construction in 2022, which adds an additional 10% to the city’s inventory.
