BOSTON -- Free agent first baseman Mitch Moreland was already excited about joining the Boston Red Sox when the team made a move that made it even more appealing. Jakob Poeltl Jersey .One day after trading for five-time All-Start left-hander Chris Sale, the Red Sox agreed to terms with Moreland on a $5.5 million, one-year deal to share time with Hanley Ramirez at first base.It just shows you that were in it and trying to go all out and trying to make that happen, Moreland told reporters Thursday. Im glad to be a part of it.Manager John Farrell said Ramirez will get most of his at-bats at designated hitter, filling the spot that opened up when David Ortiz retired. Moreland will play primarily at first base, where he won a Gold Glove after committing just two errors in 1,103 total chances last season.Moreland, 31, batted .233 with 22 homers and 21 doubles last year with the Texas Rangers. In 14 games at Fenway Park, he has a.341 average with four homers, two doubles and eight RBI, according to MassLive.com.Its one of those things where Im just loose, I feel like Im comfortable (there), Moreland said. It kind of brings the kid out in you when you get to do it at a place like this. Thats what makes it fun, and this place is one of the best at it.To make room for Moreland on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated left-hander Williams Jerez for assignment.The deal finishes off a busy winter meetings for the Red Sox.Shortly before acquiring Sale from the Chicago White Sox for four minor leaguers -- including No. 1 prospect Yoan Moncada -- Boston acquired reliever Tyler Thornburg from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for a package that included infielder Travis Shaw. They also picked up the 2018 option on Farrells contract. Bruce Bowen Jersey . Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. Rudy Gay Jersey .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. https://www.cheapspurs.com/636j-tom-niss...rsey-spurs.html . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. RIO DE JANEIRO -- The future is now for the U.S. mens water polo team. Thats about all the Americans can do with whats left of their time at the Olympics.The United States won silver in Beijing but slipped to eighth in London and will fare even worse in Rio after losing 8-5 to Montenegro on Friday, eliminating any chance of making the quarterfinals. Every time the U.S. pushed for the advantage, Montenegro answered, and an unusual brutality call on?Alex Roelse?made life even more difficult for the Americans.Hungary, Greece, Spain and defending champion Croatia also won on the fourth day of the competition, sharpening the picture for the next round. Greece handed Brazil its first loss with a 9-4 victory and moved into a tie with the host country for the Group A lead.All thats left for the U.S. is one more preliminary game on Sunday against Italy, which lost 10-7 to defending champion Croatia on the fourth day of the competition and is tied with the London gold medalists for the Group B lead with six points.U.S. coach Dejan Udovicic, who took over the program in May 2013, provided no indication that he would treat the finale any differently, but he could give more time to Thomas Dunstan and Ben Hallock to help with the growth process for the teenagers.We knew that every game would be tough for us before we come here, Udovicic said. We are the youngest in here. We are fighting like lions here, you know, and we will do the same last game.Hallock, a 6-foot-6 center, and Dunstan, a 6-4 attacker, just faced off in Californias top high school division in November, with Dunstan helping Mater Dei High School beat Hallock and Harvard-Westlake 9-8 for the state championship. Hallock got a good look in the second period against Montenegro but was unable to convert a backhand try.Next up for Hallock is Stanford in the fall, and Dunstan is committed to Southern California.I think its pretty impressive to have two athletes who can compete at this level at the age of 18, said Harvard-Westlake ccoach Brian Flacks, who traveled to Rio to watch Hallock play. Johnny Moore Jersey. Hopefully in 2020 in Japan it leads to a medal.While Hallock and Dunstan look like the future of U.S. water polo, it looks as if captain Tony Azevedo, goaltender Merrill Moses and defender Jesse Smith are on their way out. The 34-year-old Azevedo is playing in his fifth Olympics, a record for USA Water Polo, and its the fourth Games for Smith, 33. Moses turns 39 on Saturday.Azevedo failed to score against Montenegro, and Moses allowed a goal in the second on a shot he probably should have stopped.Today, the ball didnt go in for me, Azevedo said.Montenegro rebounded from a 6-5 loss to Italy on Wednesday, clinching a spot in the next round. It can improve its positioning for the quarterfinals with a victory over Spain in their Group B finale.Darko Brguljan scored two goals and Milos Scepanovic made 13 saves. Uros Cuckovic put the U.S. away with a man-up goal with 10 seconds remaining.Scepanovic was fantastic today, Montenegro coach Vladimir Gojkovic said. I hope so stay until the end of the championship.Montenegro had a 4-3 lead when Roelse received a brutality penalty early in the fourth, resulting in a four-minute exclusion and also shelving the defender for the matchup with Italy. U.S. assistant Jack Kocur also was thrown out and will not be able to coach in the finale.Mladan Janovic then scored with the man advantage, giving Montenegro a 5-3 lead with 7:18 remaining. The Americans twice pulled within one goal down the stretch but were never able to make up the difference.Nothing, not one thing, went on out of the water. They called a brutality. Its really amazing to me, Azevedo said.Also Friday, Gabor Kis scored five times to lead Hungary to a runaway 17-7 victory over winless Japan.?Gonzalo Echenique Saglietti had three goals as Spain cruised to a 10-4 win against France.
