OXON HILL, Md. -- The champion Chicago Cubs filled their only real need, getting All-Star reliever Wade Davis. Hell take the spot of closer Aroldis Chapman, who locked down a spot by returning to the New York Yankees with a whopping $86 million deal.As for the Washington Nationals, well, they opened quite a debate Wednesday by trading not one, not two, but three talented, young pitchers for White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton.And as the winter meetings wound down, the Yankees struck just before midnight. They reached a five-year deal with Chapman, according to a person familiar with the contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract was still pending a physical -- it would be the richest deal ever for a reliever, shattering the $62 million, five-year pact Mark Melancon got from San Francisco just a couple days ago.Chapman was acquired by New York from the Cincinnati Reds last offseason, then missed the first 29 games of the season due to a domestic violence suspension from Major League Baseball. The Cuban was traded to the Chicago Cubs in late July and helped them win the World Series, becoming a free agent when it was over.Ian Desmond also wound up in a new spot, reaching a $70 million agreement with Colorado on the last full day of baseballs annual gathering. The session ends Thursday morning after the Rule 5 draft, mostly for players left off 40-man rosters.The free agent market and the trade markets have both been a little slow, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said earlier in the day. Things are picking up a little bit.Closer Kenley Jansen was still in play, and Pittsburgh didnt trade -- not yet, anyway -- outfielder Andrew McCutchen.As expected, the Cubs completed a deal for Davis. To get a closer whos been dominant for the last three years, the World Series champions sent outfielder Jorge Soler to Kansas City.Davis, who finished out the Royals win that clinched their 2015 title, moved right into the ninth-inning role Chapman held at Wrigley Field.Cubs manager Joe Maddon avoided any assessment of who was best. Instead, he offered: Theyre just different kind of pitchers.But the opinions werent so blurred after the NL East champion Nationals made their deal with the White Sox.A day after missing out on White Sox ace Chris Sale, Washington traded top prospect Lucas Giolito, strong-armed Reynaldo Lopez and 2016 first-round draft pick Dane Dunning to get Eaton from Chicago.Right away, Nats fans lit up Twitter, wondering why their team paid such a hefty price. Washington GM Mike Rizzo didnt blink at swapping the trio.We feel comfortable with the deal. Weve done a lot of deals. I like win-win deals, he said.I think the White Sox did a great job of acquiring good, potential upside players. We got ourselves a good, young skillful player that we can control at below-market values for five seasons. And, again, you got to give to get, he said.Eaton, who turned 28 on Tuesday, batted .284 with 14 home runs and 59 RBI, stealing 14 bases and hitting an AL-leading nine triples. He topped the majors with 18 outfield assists.We see the arrow still going up with him, Rizzo said.Praised Nationals manager Dusty Baker: Hes not afraid to get dirty and grimy, greasy, nasty -- do everything there is to beat you.The 22-year-old Giolito was the Nationals first-round pick in 2012. He made his big league debut in June and was 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in six starts in the majors.Lopez is also 22, and went 5-3 with a 4.91 ERA in 11 games last season. The 21-year-old Dunning was drafted out of Florida.We view all three of them, actually, as having the potential to become front-end-of-the-rotation pitchers, White Sox GM Rick Hahn said. Theres still a fair amount of development with each of them.In other deals, San Francisco traded pitcher Chris Heston to Seattle Mariners for a player to be named. Heston pitched a no-hitter in going 12-11 as a rookie in 2015, but spent most of this year in the minors.Also, the Marlins reached agreements with pitcher Jeff Locke and catcher A.J. Ellis.

Cheap NFL Jerseys China .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday. European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley insists golf must embrace new formats and plans to have six-hole events on the professional circuit as early as next year.The Canadian, who succeeded George OGrady last year, has been keen to modernise the game and has already permitted players to wear shorts in pro-ams and introduced measures aimed at tackling slow play.However, Pelleys announcement that six-hole sprint formats could be included on the European Tour schedule from 2017 is a significant leap.Golf and tennis has to be a little more open to letting the youth actually participate, Pelley told BBC Radio 5Live. Theres no question that is something we believe in as well.You look at some of the new formats that have been created -- when you look at adventure golf, or the brand Top Golf, and theres one 15 minutes from where I live in Virginia Water. Its really geared towards millennials, so the way that people are participating in the game is completely different.Lets be honest -- and scientific data proves this -- attention spans are decreasing as opposed to increasing and its completely different when the choice people have to consume content now is so different than it was 35-40 years ago.So you have to change, peoples time is so precious that golf -- I think every golf course being built needs to be six holes, six holes, six holes - so that people can go at the beginning before they go to work.Pelley highlighted the success of Twenty20 cricket in boosting attendances as a reason for change.From our perspective, as the gatekeepers of the professional game, we are looking to create a format that would be six holes.That could be an hour, an hour-and-a-half content programme which would be very entertaining, added Pelley, who said that if golf were invented today it would likely be a 12-hole rather than 18-hole sport.Yes there would be a shot clock, yes there would be music being plaayed, and PA announcements, and players would be dressed a little differently, and maybe they would only play with five or seven clubs.dddddddddddd.Our leaderboard is always filled with a bunch of different flags and it would probably be a country competition, so you could probably see England playing Scotland in a six-hole matchplay with time clocks and music and so forth going on and it would be an aspirational goal to be even remotely as successful as Twenty20 cricket.If youre not prepared to change, if youre not prepared to be innovative, if youre not prepared to take chances, then I do believe that the sports that arent will fall behind.Wed like to experiment ... in 2017 and maybe roll it out in 2018. Its still in the infancy stages of being developed.The tradition, the integrity of the game, the 72-hole tournament will always be there in some form but if you catapult ahead 10 or 15 years the game of golf will be consumed completely differently and there will be different formats that will be successful as content entertainment makers.Pelley also refused to rule out changing the name of the European Tour to reflect its global nature in the future.A strategic partnership with the Asian Tour was announced earlier this week and with just 19 of the 50 European Tour events held in 2016 being staged on European soil, Pelley is open to rebranding in the future.He continued: You cant play 47 weeks in Europe, hence the reason that we started to move all around the world and since then weve expanded and as early as this week weve announced a strategic alliance with the Asian Tour, so our position in Asia is going to grow: weve opened an office recently in Korea.As the game expands, were expanding, so youre correct assuming the brand might change going forward. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
