Hurler Joins Sonnanstine From Jeter

Baseball Betting Lines

Sonnanstine has spent his entire five-year career with the Tampa Bay Rays and has made 80 starts, but has been used primarily as a reliever for the past two seasons. Overall, the 28-year-old southpaw is 28-31 with a 5.26 earned run average and one save.

 

In 2011 Sonnanstine made 15 appearances -- four starts -- with the Rays and posted an 0-2 record with a 5.55 ERA.

 

CARDINALS SURPRISE RUN TO A WORLD SERIES TITLE CAPS LA RUSSA'S CAREER

 

If you told fans in St. Louis back in the beginning of August that their team would be the ones left standing at the end of the season, they'd probably say you were nuts. The Cards found themselves 10 1/2 games out of a playoff spot in late August only to go 23-8 down the stretch and secured the wild card spot on the final day of the regular season.

 

After falling behind 3-2 in that set, the Cards were down to their last strike twice in Game 6, but rallied for an extra-inning win to force a seventh game. The Cardinals didn't need any late-inning heroics in that one, though, as series MVP David Freese's two-run double in the first inning set the stage for the team's second title in six years.

 

The 67-year-old skipper goes out as the third winningest manager in major league history with 2,728 victories for the White Sox (1979-1986), Athletics (1986-1995) and Cardinals (1996-present). Only Connie Mack has managed more games than the 5,097 La Russa has skippered.

 

As if losing La Russa wasn't enough for the Cardinals, Albert Pujols shocked the baseball world at the conclusion of the Winter Meetings, as he signed a monster 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that will reportedly pay him between $250-260 million. The lucrative deal ended his 11- year run in St. Louis that saw him win three NL MVPs and two World Series titles.

 

But some people were skeptical of the reports that the Cardinals had, in fact, gone to 10 years. And let's be honest -- if they had, what was all the fuss? If that were the case, the deal should have been locked up a couple of days ago.

 

Give the Angels credit. They missed out on almost everyone last winter. They weren't going to let that happen again, and made another big move by signing pitcher C.J. Wilson to a deal worth a reported $77.5 million over five years.
