Games Beats Kuroda Into Giants

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.

 

Additionally, MLB announced free agent minor league left-handed pitcher Dustin Richardson was suspended 50 games for testing positive for several substances. He will also serve his ban once he is signed somewhere.

 

The Tigers are coming off an American League Central title from 2011, their first division crown in 24 years, and lured one of the biggest available free agents to Detroit. He is familiar with the city, as his father, Cecil, played for the Tigers from 1990-96.

 

In 998 big league games, all with the Brewers, the 27-year-old Fielder has clubbed 230 homers and driven in 656 runs. He finished third in the voting for the National League Most Valuable Player last year after batting .299 with 38 homers and 120 RBI.

 

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.

 

However, the following season, Lidge blew 11 saves while recording an 0-8 record and 7.21 ERA. He rebounded in 2010, but has appeared in only 75 games in the last two seasons because of elbow and shoulder injuries.

 

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.

 

To make room on the 40-man roster, Oakland designated infielder Adrian Cardenas for assignment.
