The Devils avoided arbitration with Travis Zajac as Zajac and the Devils agreed to a
four year contract worth a total of 15.5 million over the course of the deal.Zajac posted career highs in goals,assists and points last season and is coming into his own as the Devils top young center....
The Pirates announced the signing of righthander
Trent Stevenson.Stevenson,a seventh round pick from Phoenix, was one of the highly touted "tough signs" that the Pirates filled their draft plate with from round four on and is the first to be brought into the fold.
Stevenson is 6'6 and just 175 pounds,so the Pirates are projecting that he will fill out as he matures and gain a bit more on the velocity meter.
No word on terms or assignment,although Stevenson will be most likely shipped to Bradenton and limited innings for the GCL Pirates.
Stevenson had committed to the Arizona Wildcats and likely was paid well over slot money for his draft position.
Stevenson can be seen throwing in this video.
Editors Note:Stevenson's bonus is being reported as 350,000,which is over slot but less than it could have been to sign him....
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are a surprising 2-1 and travel to Montreal tonight for first place in the CFL Eastern Division.
The Cats upset the BC Lions in Vancouver and followed up with a home win on "CFL in the 60's" week over Winnipeg.
I missed all of those games and will miss tonight's as well.
The CFL can be found on some regional sports networks,but no Hamilton games have been carried yet.
The Boston Red Sox will be retiring Jim Rice's number 14 on next Tuesday.
Rice will enter the Hall of Fame on Sunday along with Rickey Henderson and will be the seventh Boston player to have his number retired.
Back tomorrow with Pirates-Diamondbacks
