Dodgers agree to $2.65M deal with reliever Cingrani

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pitcher Tony Cingrani reached agreement on a $2.65 million, one-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday to avoid salary arbitration.

The left-hander made 30 appearances last season and had a 4.76 ERA in 22 2/3 innings with 36 strikeouts.

Cingrani, 29, made two trips to the disabled list last season due to shoulder issues and made only two appearances in September.

The Dodgers also decided not to offer a contract offer to switch-pitcher Pat Venditte, who became a free agent.

Who’s Playing San Francisco 49ers (home) vs. Chicago Bears (away) Current records: San Francisco 4-10; Chicago 10-4 What to Know Chicago have been homebodies their last two matches, but they are heading out on Sunday. They will take on San Francisco in a holiday battle at 4:05 p.m. Chicago have a defense that allows only 18.86 points per game, so San Francisco’s offense will have their work cut out for them.

UFC fight schedule for 2019: Henry Cejudo vs. TJ Dillashaw, Cain Velasquez’s return headline events

Image
UFC brought the fire in 2018 with one of its biggest years to date as far as big events go, and if the early slate of 2019 goes according to plan, it might just be better. Last year wrapped up with Max Holloway returning from a scary brain issue to knockout top contender Brian Ortega, as well as Jon Jones’ return to action. Plus, Khabib Nurmagomedov beat up and bullied Conor McGregor before jumping the Octagon fence and attacking one of McGregor’s teammates in the crowd. Now, we are set to see three champions in action in the first five weeks of 2019. Flyweight champion Henry Cejudo kicks things off when he takes on bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw in a 125-pound superfight at the Barclays Arena. Then in February, Middleweight champion Robert Whittaker defends his title on home soil when he takes on Kelvin Gastelum in Melbourne, Australia. Plus, it’s the return of former heavyweight king Cain Velasquez when he battles Francis Ngnanou in his return from a two and a half year layof...

How the Astros can set up another World Series run with a few more moves this offseason

Image
In many ways, the 2018 Astros were better than the 2017 Astros. Much better, even. Houston won two more regular-season games last season than it did in ’17. By run differential, though, it was significantly more dominant. By scoring a gigantic (and MLB -best) 263 more runs than they allowed, the 2018 Astros produced like a team that, with average luck in close games and the way they clustered big innings together, would be expected to win an amazing 109 games. The 2017 Astros were still excellent, scoring 196 more runs than they allowed…though that run differential netted out to an expected record of 99-63, 10 wins short of 2018 expectations. Now throw out the numbers and look at personnel, especially on the pitching side. In 2017, the Astros’ most-used starting pitcher was Mike Fiers . That’s the same Mike Fiers who flashed an ugly 5.22 ERA that year, serving up 32 home runs in 153 1/3 innings — that latter number a telltale sign of a pitching staff racked by injuries. In 2018...
