NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.
Dorian ODaniel Womens Jersey . -- With two
moves here on Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox filled their needs for an
eighth-inning reliever and a left-handed hitter to help replace David Ortizs
production.Oh, and they renewed their faith in Pablo Sandoval.By day, the Red
Sox acquired right-handed reliever Tyler Thornburg from the Milwaukee Brewers in
a multiplayer trade that sent first baseman/third baseman Travis Shaw, infield
prospect Mauricio Dubon and Class A pitcher Josh Pennington to Milwaukee.And by
night -- after completing a blockbuster trade with the Chicago White Sox for ace
lefty Chris Sale, no less -- the Red Sox agreed to a one-year contract with
free-agent first baseman Mitch Moreland, a source confirmed to ESPN.com. The
deal is worth $5.5 million, a source confirmed to ESPN.?Moreland, 31, is coming
off a season with the?Texas Rangers?in which he batted only .233 with 22 homers
and a .720 OPS, the second-lowest mark of his career. But he won a Gold Glove at
first base and, along with Sandovals return to third base, could contribute to
making up for last seasons 38 homers and 127 RBIs that Ortiz took with him into
retirement.Ortiz, in fact, is a Moreland fan. In a conversation last week at his
charity golf event in the Dominican Republic, Ortiz asked who won the AL Gold
Glove at first base. Told it was Moreland, Ortiz said, I always believed that
kid could be special. It depends on how much [a team] plays him.Thornburg, a
hard-throwing 28-year-old, posted a 2.15 ERA, 13 saves and 12.1 strikeouts per
nine innings in 67 appearances last season, taking over as Milwaukees closer
after Jeremy Jeffress was dealt to the Rangers?at the trade deadline. Boston
manager John Farrell cited a lower arm slot as the primary reason for Thornburgs
breakthrough as a power pitcher, while Red Sox president of baseball operations
Dave Dombrowski called Thornburgs curveball a dominant pitch.We feel like were
getting a guy at the absolute right time, Farrell said.But Thornburg also dealt
with elbow issues that caused him to get shut down midway through the 2014
season. He received a plasma-rich platelet injection that year and hasnt
encountered any recurrence of the injury over the past two seasons.The Red Sox
were looking for an eighth-inning upgrade, an addition that Dombrowski labeled a
necessity. Koji Uehara and Brad Ziegler, who shared the role at times last
season, are both free agents. Dombrowski said Monday that the Red Sox preferred
to find a setup reliever with closing experience to pitch in front of closer
Craig Kimbrel.Thornburg fills that description. He also is inexpensive, no small
detail for a Red Sox team that is trying to keep its payroll below $195 million
for luxury-tax purposes. Thornburg made $513,900 this year and is eligible for
arbitration for the first time. The Red Sox will control him through the 2019
season.We scouted him very thoroughly last year. He has nasty stuff, Dombrowski
said. We feel hes a guy that projects to be a quality eighth-inning individual
for us that can also close a game, if needed. He was what we were looking to try
to find.Thornburg joins a bullpen that includes Kimbrel, right-handers Matt
Barnes, Joe Kelly and Heath Hembree, and lefties Robbie Ross Jr., Robby Scott
and Fernando Abad. Right-hander Carson Smith is working his way back from Tommy
John surgery and could be ready to pitch by June 1, if not sooner.You see what
clubs have been getting for closers and setup guys, Dombrowski said. Really,
[Thornburg] could be a closer in many situations. Its a very either expensive
dollar market or its an expensive acquisition market.And the Red Sox paid a
steep price in talent, in particular by trading Dubon.Dubon, 22, batted .323
with six homers and an .840 OPS between Class A Salem and Double-A Portland this
year, putting him squarely on the prospect map. Dubon is primarily a shortstop,
though, and was blocked by Xander Bogaerts, the 24-year-old All-Star who isnt
eligible for free agency until after the 2019 season. The Red Sox also have
utility man Brock Holt, Marco Hernandez and Deven Marrero to back up
Bogaerts.The decision to include Shaw in the trade underscores what Dombrowski
and Farrell said Monday, namely that the Red Sox intend to trust Sandoval with
third base after he missed almost all of 2016 because of shoulder
surgery.Sandoval, signed by the Red Sox to a five-year, $95 million contract two
seasons ago, struggled in 2015, reported to spring training out of shape and
lost the third-base job to Shaw. And although Shaw faded after the All-Star
break, he still finished with 16 homers in 480 at-bats, production from the left
side of the plate that cant be discounted in a lineup that will lean
right-handed now that Ortiz is retired.On Monday, Farrell called Sandoval one of
the keys for us and a left-handed bat who is a proven guy and has every
opportunity to make a major impact on our team this year.At no point did Farrell
mention Shaw, an omission that is now more easily understood.

playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green

recent first)New York Jets (3:05 p.m.): C Nick Mangold, who had been listed as
questionable, surprises nobody by appearing on the inactive list due to a bad
ankle. This will be his fourth straight missed game.New England Patriots (2:58
p.m.): While the teams offense looking like its going to have all the usual
suspects in the huddle today, CBs Justin Coleman and Cyrus Jones will both be
inactive. That certainly leaves the secondary a tad shorthanded.Justin Britt
(2:35 p.m.): The Seattle center is active today, but still may not start. Rookie
Joey Hunt could be the guy called upon to snap the ball to Russell Wilson, which
may somewhat slow down the Seahawks offense.Matt Barkley (12:06 p.m.): For
better or worse, Chicago fans, youll get to witness his first career NFL start
today.
Cheap
Chiefs Store. Jay Cutler, as expected, is not suiting up for the
Bears this afternoon due to his shoulder injury.Mark Ingram (12:02 p.m.): A
concussion suffered last Thursday was the reason for concern with Ingrams status
for todays game. However, as he is active, there shouldnt be any reason to
expect that he wont get his usual share of the Saints backfield carries.Greg
Robinson (11:55 a.m.): The Rams have apparently benched the tackle, who is
inactive today despite not being on the teams injury report headed into todays
action. Rodger Saffold is expected to start in his place.T.J. Yeldon (11:50
a.m.): Despite earlier reports that seemed to indicate he would not be active,
Yeldons name is indeed missing from the list of no-go players for the Jaguars.
That said, this is far from a clean bill of health. Starting him in fantasy is
still an act of abject optimism.San Francisco 49ers (11:45 a.m.): With no Mike
Pouncey, Laremy Tunsil or Branden Albert in uniform today for Miami, the 49ers
D/ST gets a boost for those fantasy owners looking to stream or ready to roll
the dice on an unexpected top scorer from the position.Miami Dolphins (7:50
a.m.): According to NFL Networks Ian Rapoport, both Ndamukong Suh and Mario
Williams will be able to play this week.?T.J. Yeldon (7:45 a.m.): ESPNs Adam
Schefter notes that the Jaguars running back is unlikely to play on Sunday, but
will test his ankle before the game before a final decision is made. If he cant
go, the forgotten Denard Robinson may well serve as the primary backup to Chris
Ivory.Tom Brady (7:35 a.m.): All signs point to the New England quarterback
playing on Sunday, as well as a trio of his receiving options in Julian Edelman,
Chris Hogan and Martellus Bennett. As for Rob Gronkowski, despite some prior
bleeding and bruising in his chest, he is also expected to suit up.Buffalo Bills
(7:30 a.m.): WR Sammy Watkins is expected to be active on Sunday, but due to his
long layoff, he may not play a full workload. The Bills are likely to be quite
shorthanded at receiver, with Robert Woods already having been ruled out and
Percy Harvin once again suffering from migraines.?Desmond Trufant (7:25 a.m.):
ESPNs Adam Schefter reports that the cornerback has a torn pectoral muscle and
is expected to undergo season-ending surgery. The Falcons had been hoping that
Trufant was going to be able to play in Week 12 -- hence his questionable tag --
but this latest news has us expecting to see his name on the inactives list when
it comes out later today.?Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at
approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games
and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game.
