Red Sox For Gomes Rbi

Baseball Betting Lines

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Daryle Ward, who played 11 seasons for six teams but has been out of Major League Baseball since 2008, was suspended 50 games for testing positive for an amphetamine. Ward, currently a free-agent minor league first baseman, will serve his suspension upon signing with a major league organization, MLB said Wednesday.

 

Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Tigers and Prince Fielder have put the finishing touches on a nine-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed, but multiple reports earlier this week indicated the pact for the former Milwaukee Brewers first baseman to be worth $214 million.

 

"Prince Fielder is one of the premier offensive players in the game of baseball and we are extremely excited to add an All-Star-caliber player like him to our lineup," said Tigers president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski. "The addition of Prince is a testament to the organization's continued commitment to fielding a championship club."

 

A three-time All-Star and career .282 hitter, Fielder has missed just one game in the past three seasons.

 

The Tigers were trying to add another quality bat after Victor Martinez went down with a torn knee ligament that could cost him the entire 2012 season. However, a first baseman was not considered a need with Miguel Cabrera already there. The AL's batting champion from a year ago will reportedly make the switch to third base, a position he played with the Marlins, to accommodate the new acquisition.

 

The right-handed Lidge had spent the last four seasons with the Phillies and helped the team to a World Series title in 2008. He posted a 1.95 ERA and converted all 48 of his save opportunities during the regular season and playoffs.

 

Lidge has spent 10 seasons in the majors after being selected in the first round of the 1998 draft by Houston. He pitched his first six seasons with the Astros.

 

Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Athletics have agreed to terms on a one- year contract with outfielder Jonny Gomes. Gomes, 31, split last season between Cincinnati and Washington, and hit .209 with 14 homers and 43 RBI in 120 games. The Reds traded him to the Nationals in late July.

 

Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox signed outfielder Cody Ross to a one-year contract on Thursday. Ross batted .240 with 14 home runs and 52 RBI over 121 games with San Francisco last season.

 

The 31-year-old has played in 757 game over eight major league seasons with the Tigers, Dodgers, Reds, Marlins and Giants. He is a career .261 hitter with 100 homers and 371 RBI.

 

To make room for Ross on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated pitcher Scott Atchison for assignment.

 

"I feel happy to be a part of such a storied franchise, which is always in contention for a World Series," Kuroda said. "I am also very proud to be a part of this current team, which boasts so many great players. As a member of the Yankees, I would like to do my part by doing the best I can throughout the season. I hope that I can make a difference in achieving the team's ultimate goal, which is to win the World Series."
