Hitters wind, thunderstorms expected at Fenway


There is rough weather on tap at Fenway Park where the Boston Red Sox are set to host the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night.


There will be a nine mile per hour wind blowing out to the Green Monster in left field and there is a chance of thunderstorms in the area. There is also a 37 percent chance of rain.


The White Sox will send Jeff Samardzija to the hill to take on Wade Miley and the Red Sox, who are currently -115 favorites. The total is at 8.5 runs.




Rays games go under with Estabrook behind the plate


When Mike Estabrook is calling balls and strikes for a Tampa Bay Rays game, the under is great play, going 16-2-1 when that is the case.


Estabrook will be behind home plate for Tampa Bay's Tuesday night game with the Detroit Tigers.


The total for Tuesday's contest will be a low 6.5 with a very good pitchers matchup on tap with David Price (2.31 ERA, 10-10 O/U) going up against Jake Odorizzi (2.85 ERA, 3-12 O/U).




Pirates' Morton struggling in recent starts


Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Charlie Morton has struggled of late, posting a personal record of 1-4 with an ERA of 7.76 over the course of his last six starts.


The 31-yyear-old is 6-4 with a 4.59 ERA and 1.30 WHIP on the season and 0-3 with a 5.11 ERA in four July starts.


He'll try to get things on the right path as he is probable to get the start for the Buccos at the Minnesota Twins Tuesday evening.




Orioles' Jiminez much more comfortable at home


Baltimore Orioles' starter Ubaldo Jiminez loves the mound at Oriole Park, leading the O's to a 10-1 record in his last 11 home starts.


In 2015 alone he is 5-1 with a 2.06 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP, to go along with 47 strikeouts to just seven walks in seven starts.


He takes the mound at home again Tuesday night when he takes on Julio Teheran and the Atlanta Braves. The Orioles are currently -185 favorites.




Angels RHP Weaver to begin rehab stint Thursday


Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jered Weaver will make a rehab start at Class-A Inland Empire on Thursday night.


Weaver has been on the disabled list for five weeks. He went 4-8 with a 4.75 ERA in 15 starts before his inflamed left hip forced the Angels to act. Tests revealed no structural damage, but the team said it would take its time bringing Weaver back.


Weaver was told not to pick up a baseball for five days and was re-evaluated, when the news was better.


"There's obviously something in his mechanics that are out of whack," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said in June. "I have a lot of confidence that we're gonna see him get better as we move forward, but right now there's no doubt about just trying to exhale a little bit."






Phillies on fire since All-Star break


Somehow, some way, the Philadelphia Phillies are the hottest team in baseball since the All-Star break, posting a record of 8-1 in nine games since the midsummer classic.


The Phils swept the Miami Marlins, took two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays and, most recently, swept the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.


The Phillies have outscored the opposition 48-27 since the All-Star break after posting a league-worst run differential (minus-160) in the first half of the season.


They face the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre Tuesday evening. Adam Morgan is probable for the Phillies (+192) while Felix Doubront is expected to start for the Jays (-210).




Being a home favorite hasn't led to success for Indians


Being a home favorite hasn't worked out for the Cleveland Indians, losing six straight contests when that is the case.


That is exactly the position they will be in Tuesday night when they host the Kansas City Royals.


The Tribe and right-hander Trevor Bauer (8-7, 4.29 ERA) are currently -115 home favorites against the American League leading Royals. Kansas City counters with right-hander Chris Young (8-6, 3.32 ERA).

Preview: Sky (11-6) at Mercury (9-7)


Date: July 28, 2015 10:00 PM EDT

With the Sylvia Fowles saga finally behind them, Elena Delle Donne and the Chicago Sky hope to pick up where they left off prior to the All-Star break.


After acquiring All-Star center Erika De Souza, the visiting Sky seek their seventh win in eight games by snapping a five-game losing streak against the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday night in the first meeting since last year's WNBA Finals.


Fowles was a three-time All-Star averaging 15.7 points and 9.8 rebounds in her career before opting to sit out the first half of this season after requesting a trade in the offseason.


Chicago (11-6) has managed to hold its own without the star center behind Delle Donne, who leads the league at 24.5 points per game.


The Sky, one game behind first-place New York, sought to put the situation behind them Monday by trading Fowles to Minnesota and receiving De Souza from Atlanta in the three-team deal.


Chicago got a close look at De Souza last Tuesday when she finished with 10 points, nine boards and four blocks in the Sky's 97-92 home win. She's averaging 8.6 points and 7.5 rebounds this season.


'Erika brings veteran leadership, a versatile skill-set and defensive intensity that will complement our existing core,' coach and general manager Pokey Chatman said. 'Her presence in the paint will be extremely valuable as we enter the second half of the season.'


It's uncertain whether De Souza will be available as the Sky seek their third straight win. Delle Donne, who had 16 points in Saturday's All-Star Game, has totaled 56 to go along with 21 rebounds and seven blocks in last two victories.


Reserve guard Allie Quigley also has played a key role by averaging 16.5 points over her last four games. All-Star Cappie Pondexter, though, is looking a fresh start after scoring 9.3 per game on 9-of-29 shooting in her past three.


Chicago will get its first shot at Phoenix since dropping three straight in last year's WNBA Finals. Although they no longer have Finals MVP Diana Taurasi, the Mercury (9-7) still have All-Stars Brittney Griner, Candice Dupree and DeWanna Bonner.


Griner leads the team with 17.4 points per game, Bonner is second at 16.9 and Dupree averages 14.5. Dupree scored 20.0 per game versus Chicago in last year's championship series.


Phoenix took all five meetings from the Sky last season and has won four straight at home. The squad, however, hopes to avoid its first three-game losing streak since July 21-Aug. 1, 2013.


The Mercury had a six-game winning streak snapped in a 75-73 home loss to the Liberty on July 18 before stumbling into the break with a 70-65 loss at league-worst Los Angeles last Tuesday.


They'll have to tighten things up defensively after allowing the Sparks to shoot 48.2 percent. The Sky easily lead the WNBA in shooting percentage (46.5) and scoring average (85.8).

Fever-Sun Preview


Though the Indiana Fever's longest winning stretch in three seasons has ended, they can bounce back by keeping the Connecticut Sun winless in July.


The visiting Fever look to hand the Sun a sixth consecutive defeat Saturday night.


Indiana (8-7) averaged 83.8 points and shot 50.3 percent during a five-game winning streak that was snapped with Friday's 68-50 loss at Washington. Marissa Coleman had 11 points and Tamika Catchings (12.2 points per game) was held to two free throws while going 0 for 7 from the field as the Fever shot 31.6 percent in their lowest-scoring contest of the season.


"Defensively, they turned up their intensity and bothered us up and down the floor," coach Stephanie White told the Fever's official website.


It was the second-lowest scoring game of the year for Catchings, who went without a point in an 80-63 victory at New York on June 19. In her 14th season, Catchings is being counted on for more than just statistics.


"I think the biggest thing for me now is just my leadership, continuing to build that," she said.


"Being a leader, a lot of people will put that on the best player or the second-best player, but it's really something that when you look at that sole leader having that soul of your team, that's not something you can pick out somebody and say, 'You're going to be it.'"


The Fever attempt to regroup where that winning stretch began June 30, when they shot 55.4 percent in a 92-84 victory over Connecticut (7-6). Catchings had 26 points with 10 rebounds as Indiana led by as many as 23 in the third quarter before the Sun got within three with 1:05 remaining.


That snapped the Sun's seven-game winning stretch and began a five-game slide in which they've yielded at least 85 points three times but dropped four by eight or fewer. They shot 30.0 percent while scoring their fewest points of 2015 in Thursday's 64-57 loss at New York.


"We really wanted to come at them and get some inside action, points in the paint ourselves ... but (New York) made our life difficult," coach Anne Donovan said.


Leading scorer Alex Bentley (17.1) has totaled 47 points in the last two home games and scored 18 against the Fever last month. Teammate Kelsey Bone had 21 in that game before she was ejected with 1:05 remaining for a flagrant 2 foul.


The Fever will again be without rookie center Natalie Achonwa (9.5) as she takes part in the Pan American Games for Canada. She is expected to rejoin the club following next week's All-Star break.

AFC North camp preview: Ravens restart playoff chase


OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- When the Baltimore Ravens trudged out of the locker room at Gillette Stadium in January following a narrow AFC divisional-round playoff loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, veteran wide receiver Steve Smith vowed they would be back and that the result would be different the next time.


Seven months later, the Ravens launch their training camp hoping that they had the kind of offseason that propels them to take a step forward in the playoffs instead of regressing. Baltimore has reached the playoffs in six of coach John Harbaugh's seven seasons.


That includes a Super Bowl XLVII win over the San Francisco 49ers, and they are 72-40 in the regular season during that span and 10-5 in the postseason.


Following an offseason where the roster absorbed some losses, including wide receiver Torrey Smith and outside linebacker Pernell McPhee leaving as free agents and defensive tackle Haloti Ngata being traded to the Detroit Lions after a contract dispute, the Ravens are nonetheless confident about where they stand.


"Happy with where we're at and looking forward to where we're going," Harbaugh said during the final day of the Ravens' minicamp in June.


As the Ravens launch their camp, they will have several competitions to monitor at strong safety, tight end and wide receiver. There is a strong likelihood they will have a younger, revamped depth chart with as many as five new starters this season. The goals for training camp are to identify the best possible starting lineup, continue to install the playbooks and build timing and chemistry.


"The training camp is built, so we have the reps built and all the practices built," Harbaugh said. "All the situations are built in, every football formation look that we want to work on. You learn a lot in the OTAs in terms of what you're going to be good at, you think, so you start steering in that direction a little bit more. And we'll try to keep evolving from that, because we're going to learn more as we go, and we'll adjust as we go.


"But I'm looking for the young guys to step up. Our young guys probably get more reps than I can imagine anybody else getting, so we put our young guys in positions to compete for jobs. These rookies are going to have a chance to compete for jobs."

July 25: Rookies reported


July 29: Veterans report


July 30: First practice


Aug 19-21: Joint practices at the Philadelphia Eagles


Aug. 24: Camp ends


--Team strength: Linebacker.


Between outside linebackers Elvis Dumervil, Terrell Suggs and Courtney Upshaw and Pro Bowl inside linebacker C.J. Mosley and middle linebacker Daryl Smith, the position is a huge asset to the defense.


--Breakout player: Cornerback Jimmy Smith.


Smith is emerging as a shutdown cover guy. He was signed to a $48 million contract and has recovered from a Lisfranc foot sprain.


--Work in progress: Tight end.


The Ravens remain in flux at tight end where second-year pro Crockett Gillmore hasn't established himself yet as a receiver and rookie Maxx Williams is unproven in terms of durability and blocking.


The Ravens hope the two young players develop into proven pros this fall.

NFC East camp preview: Cowboys feel primed for title run


OXNARD, Calif. -- Nobody expected the Dallas Cowboys to be considered Super Bowl contenders a year ago.


Heck, most expected them to finish 8-8 or worse and for head coach Jason Garrett to be fired at the end of the season.


Of course, that was before the Cowboys became one of the surprising breakthrough stories of 2014, finishing with a 12-4 record, winning the NFC East and coming within a controversial non-catch by receiver Dez Bryant of reaching the NFC title game for the first time since 1995, the last time they won the Super Bowl.


It comes as no surprise that the Cowboys are considered prime Super Bowl contenders before the 2015 season. They remain the best team in the NFC East and they have ranked just behind the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers as the cream of the conference.


The Cowboys didn't care what outsiders thought last year and they don't care this year.


They will open training camp this week with the Super Bowl as their goal, but with the primary focus of defining themselves for themselves just as they did a year ago.


"Any coach or player or staff member, if you don't have the goal of winning the Super Bowl you are in the wrong profession," Garrett said. "Everybody has that goal. We define ourselves by what we do. We did that last year. We have to do that again this year. Everybody will understand that really well.


"Don't let other people define you. We define ourselves by what we do. When I did this press conference a year ago, we were probably regarded as a bottom-five or bottom-10 team in the league. One of the best things our team did last year was that we defined ourselves. We didn't listen to any outside forces who said we weren't this or we weren't that. We just went to work every day. We have to do that again. They might think differently of us this year. It really doesn't matter. We define ourselves by what we do. That starts (Tuesday)."


Still there is no question that the Super Bowl is the Cowboys' goal after last season's coming of age campaign and an offseason in which they accomplished almost everything they wanted, save for the acquisition of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson in a trade.


But no one gets everything.


The Cowboys are still on the hunt for a starting running back but every other thing they tried came up roses.


The top priority was retaining Bryant and making him happy. He was signed to a five-year, $70 million contract two weeks ago, ending his threats to boycott the season and putting him on the field for training camp.


"To get him signed and ready to go to start camp is exciting," Garrett said in his first comments since the signing. "He is a great football player but more important he is a great teammate. He is passionate about the game. He is passionate about the team, his teammates. We are excited to see him out there."


Garrett is also happy to avoid the distracting story line of what a Bryant holdout would have brought to training camp.


"I don't think anyone wants those types of things," Garrett said. "You don't want holdouts. You don't want the business of the NFL to creep in as you get close to the season. The business is real. You have to take the emotions out of it. But it's fun to have him back. It's fun to have in him in the fold and on the practice field as we start training camp."


Quarterback Tony Romo had his first healthy offseason in three years and will head into training camp 100 percent for the first time since 2012.


The best offensive line in the NFL got even better with the addition of La'el Collins, an undrafted rookie free agent with first-round talent who could start at left guard.


The defense should be better because of the return of linebacker Sean Lee from injury and the additions of defensive ends Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory and cornerback Byron Jones in the draft and free agency.


The Cowboys got a win when Hardy's NFL suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy was reduced from 10 games to four.


Cornerback Morris Claiborne, who has been a disappointment since coming to the team with the sixth overall pick in 2012, is also a source of optimism because of a successful return from knee surgery that might allow the Cowboys to play Jones at safety.


"It's all about the production on the field," executive vice president Stephen Jones said in affirming the team's highly productive offseason. "We obviously feel like we got a lot accomplished. We theoretically got done what we felt like we needed to do to make our team better and take the next step. Now we'll see if it happens."


CAMP CALENDAR


July 28: Team reports


July 30: First practice


Aug. 17-18: Joint practices with Rams in Oxnard


Aug. 28: Camp ends


--Team strength: Offensive line.


The Cowboys' offensive line was considered the best in the NFL last year when it placed three players in the Pro Bowl: left tackle Tyron Smith, center Travis Frederick and right guard Zack Martin. They return their entire unit from a year ago while also adding a first-round talent in undrafted rookie free agent La'el Collins, who was considered a top 15 pick before questions about the murder of an ex-girlfriend made him untouchable. Once cleared, Collins signed with the Cowboys and could replace Ron Leary at left guard.


--Breakout player: Defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford.


Crawford had a nice bounce-back season last year after missing the 2013 campaign with a torn Achilles. He replaced Henry Melton in the starting lineup at defensive tackle, recording 33 tackles and three sacks. The Cowboys expect marked improvement in 2015 as Crawford gets more comfortable at defensive tackle. He played defensive end his first two years in the league. He had 37 hurries last year so he has talent to rush up the middle. The key in 2015 is for him to finish those hurries with sacks.


--Work in progress: Running back.


The Cowboys have yet to find a replacement for the departed DeMarco Murray. Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden are the most likely starters at this point. But the team doesn't trust the speedy Randle, who has yet to carry a full load for a full season. McFadden has been injured almost every year and averaged less than four yards per carry the past three seasons with Oakland.


The Cowboys also have no one to get the tough yards in short-yardage situations. They will be looking for options throughout training camp.

**********


Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........


13) Was going to sum up my Las Vegas vacation today, but Colorado traded its SS Troy Tulowitzki late last night, so we'll write about Vegas tomorrow. Rockies sent Tulowitzki and LaTroy Hawkins to Toronto for Jose Reyes and three prospects.


12) First question: Will both shortstops stay put? Rockies have a SS in AAA named Story who is a big prospect, so hard to believe a non-contender would pay Reyes big money ($20M+ a year)-- he could be moving again soon.


11) Toronto is currently 50-50, seven games out of first place in AL East, three games out of the second Wild Card in a mediocre AL. Is Tulowtzki an upgrade over Reyes? Even if he is, it ain't by much and asking an injury-prone guy to play half his games on art9ificial turf is dicey at best. Toronto still needs to add pitching.


10) Toronto is LaTroy Hawkins' 11th major league team, putting him two games behind record-holder Octavio Dotel, who pitched for 13 teams.


9) Blue Jays haven't been in the playoffs since '93; they're all in for this year.


8) Cubs 9, Rockies 8-- Carlos Gonzalez homered in top of 9th to give Colorado an 8-7 lead, but Kris Bryant sent everyone home happy with a walk-off tater in bottom of the ninth. Soon after, Colorado traded its best/most popular player. Rough night.


7) Alex Rodriguez homered on his 40th birthday, mkaing him the 4th player ever to homer as a teenager and then again when he was 40+ years old-- other three are Rusty Staub, Gary Sheffield and Ty Cobb.


6) White Sox 10, Red Sox 8-- Chicago hit back/back triples to start the game, first team since the 2011 Tigers to do that.


5) Randy Johnson gave up one home run to a pitcher in his career; when he was on the Giants, Yovani Gallardo hit one off him while pitching for the Brewers.


4) You don't think Clint Hurdle earns his salary? Pirates have had 15 sellouts already this season. Hurdle has done a fantastic job in the Steel City.


3) Someone named Ben Carson is running for President; I've vote for Ben Stiller, Ben Roethlisberger or Carson Palmer before this guy-- I have zero idea who he is.


2) Indians are 19-31 at home; 4-15 vs lefty starters, 15-16 vs righty starters. Indians are 9-8 on road vs lefties 17-15 vs righties. Go figure.


1) Weird week with trades starting to happen every few hours- this is also the week rosters in our keeper fantasy league freeze for the season, so lot of stuff to keep up with. Always wondered how late these GMs of big league teams call each other?


The Colorado-Toronto trade was announced late; did it set off a flurry of latenight phone calls with GMs all over baseball? What if a GM went to bed early and woke up to find the landscape had changed drastically? Lot of money at stake in the big leagues.

Game of the Day: Tigers at Rays
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays (+108, 6.5)


Evan Longoria is beginning to find his best form at the right time for the Tampa Bay Rays after recording four doubles and homer during a five-game hitting streak. The talented third baseman will try to stay hot as the Rays host former teammate David Price and the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in the second of a three-game set.


Tampa Bay can win its first series since the All-Star break after recording a 5-2 victory Monday, led by catcher Curt Casali’s two homers. The Rays scored more than four runs for the first time in 14 games and it won’t be easy to duplicate that against Price, who has won five of his last six decisions. The Tigers have dropped four of their last five games, allowing 16 runs in the past two, as they attempt to stay relevant in the playoff race. Yoenis Cespedes, who has been mentioned in trade talk along with fellow free agent-to-be Price, homered in two of the last three games for Detroit.


TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Detroit, Sun Sports (Tampa Bay)


LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Rays at +103 but that has moved to +108. The total opened - and has remained - at 6.5.


INJURY REPORT: Tigers - 1B Miguel Cabrera (15-day DL, calf). Rays - RF Kevin Kiermaier (Questionable, eye), SS Asdrubal Cabrera (Questionable, hamstring).


PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH David Price (9-3, 2.31 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Odorizzi (5-6, 2.85)


Price has allowed three runs and 11 hits over 15 innings with 19 strikeouts and two walks in his last two starts but recorded a loss and a no-decision. The Vanderbilt product limited opponents to two or fewer runs in eight of his last nine outings and is 6-1 with a 1.65 ERA on the road in 2015. Price gave up one run on one hit, but took the loss in his only meeting with the Rays on Brandon Guyer’s RBI triple in the first inning last year.


Odorizzi yielded two runs over five innings against Philadelphia last time out without being involved in the decision, following his worst outing of the season. The 25-year-old Illinois native, who permitted six runs in his previous start at Toronto, has limited teams to two runs or fewer in 10 of his 15 outings overall. Anthony Gose is 2-for-5 versus Odorizzi, who surrendered three runs over 6 2/3 innings to lose his only career outing against Detroit.


TRENDS:


* Under is 18-7-3 in the last 28 meetings in Tampa Bay.
* Tigers are 8-2 in Price's last 10 road starts.
* Under is 4-0 in Odorizzi's last four home starts.
* Under is 16-2-1 in Estabrooks last 19 games behind home plate vs. Tampa Bay.


CONSENSUS: Sixty-three percent of users are backing the visiting Tigers.

Rockies' Gonzalez could be next to go


July 28, 2015


DENVER (AP) Troy Tulowitzki's gone. Carlos Gonzalez may be up next. Possibly even just-acquired Jose Reyes, too.


The Colorado Rockies are overhauling their roster in the midst of another dismal season. This time, no one is off limits.


For years, Tulowitzki was almost considered untouchable, especially in the eyes of owner Dick Monfort. That changed late Monday, when Toronto made an offer the Rockies couldn't refuse.


The teams orchestrated a blockbuster trade that sent Reyes and right-handed pitchers Miguel Castro, Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco to the Rockies for Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins.


Colorado general manager Jeff Bridich may not be done dealing, either, with the trade deadline still days away. Bridich said Tuesday he's looking for ''the right deals to make to better our situation moving forward.''

A's sending Ben Zobrist to Royals


July 28, 2015


OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) The Kansas City Royals have made another big addition for the season's stretch run, acquiring utilityman Ben Zobrist and cash from the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday for right-hander Aaron Brooks and minor league left-hander Sean Manaea.


The 34-year-old Zobrist, an infielder and outfielder, batted .268 with six home runs, 20 doubles, two triples and 33 RBIs in 67 games for the A's, who are last in the AL West.


He joins a Royals team that leads the AL Central a season after beating Oakland in the one-game wild card on the way to its first World Series in 29 years and a seven-game loss to San Francisco.


Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore already dealt for former Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto while sending three left-handers to the Reds in the swap.


Zobrist missed a month following arthroscopic left knee surgery in late April for a torn meniscus.


A's general manager Billy Beane pulled off his second trade in 24 hours and third in six days. Oakland dealt closer Tyler Clippard to the New York Mets on Monday night after trading lefty Scott Kazmir to his hometown Houston Astros last Thursday.


Zobrist could fill a void in left field and play some second base. Left fielder Alex Gordon is likely sidelined until at least late September after the All-Star strained his groin tracking a fly ball just before the break. Jarrod Dyson and Paulo Orlando were platooning at the position, but Moore sought an upgrade until Gordon's return.


Having Zobrist available to play so many spots also will give manager Ned Yost an opportunity to rotate players and rest others down the stretch to keep everybody healthy and fresh for what the Royals hope is another World Series run.


Brooks had a 6.23 ERA over two appearances for the Royals and 4 1-3 innings. He has mostly pitched at Triple-A Omaha, going 6-5 with a 3.71 ERA in 18 games and 17 starts.


Manaea, a top prospect, has pitched in rookie ball, Class-A and Double-A so far this season. The A's have been reloading their farm system ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

Johnny Cueto joins Royals following trade


July 28, 2015


CLEVELAND (AP) Johnny Cueto spent part of his first hours with the Kansas City Royals running up and down the steps inside an empty Progressive Field.


He's already on the move as the team's new ace.


Acquired Sunday in a trade from Cincinnati, Cueto joined his new teammates for the first time Tuesday and said he's excited about being a part of the AL's best team - one he might make even better.


''I'm very happy and very proud to be here,'' Cueto said through Royals catching coach Pedro Grifol, who served as his translator. ''I'm happy it's all over. There were times I wondered where I would end up. I've got some friends here and I'm familiar with the club.''


After driving to Cleveland from Cincinnati, Cueto, who will wear No. 47, introduced himself around Kansas City's clubhouse before the Royals continued their series with the Indians. Cueto smiled easily as he worked the room, knowing he had joined a team with aspirations to win a World Series after losing to San Francisco in seven games last October.


Later, he was on the field playing catch - a sight that pleased manager Ned Yost.


''He looks good in blue,'' Yost said.


Cueto faced and lost to the Royals earlier this season. On May 19, he allowed three runs and nine hits in seven innings, and came away with respect for the defending AL champions


''I noticed this is a good club,'' Cueto said. ''There's a lot of versatility. We can run. We can score runs. If I make pitches, the defense is going to make plays.''


And while he's thrilled to be joining one of baseball's best teams, the Royals are equally excited to have Cueto.


When he arrived at Kansas City's downtown hotel, Cueto was greeted by a sign welcoming to the Royals and he posed for an Instagram photo while wearing a crown.


''It's an easy group to get along with,'' Hosmer said. ''We have a lot of fun. When the game starts we play, we give everything we've got. We know he's similar type guy. We're looking forward to having him.''


To make room for Cueto, the Royals designated right-hander Joe Blanton for assignment.


Cueto, who won 20 games for the Reds last season, will make his debut for the Royals on Friday in Toronto.


Yost said the Royals had their eye on the 29-year-old Cueto for some time. He praised Kansas City owner David Glass and general manager Dayton Moore for making the move, and for the one to acquire utilityman Ben Zobrist and $2,598,306 from Oakland.


''Very seldom does an organization get into a position that we're in, a chance to do something really special this year,'' Yost said. ''You want to make sure you take advantage of it, try to put the best team on the field that you can so hopefully we can all realize our dream of winning the World Series.


''We came so close last year.''
