Yesterday in Sports: 12/17/14

The San Diego Padres gained a lot of young talent as part of a three team trade yesterday. They received outfielder Will Myers from Tampa Bay. Myers had a poor 2014 season hitting only .222 but the season before he won Rookie of The Year, hitting .293 with a nice 13 home runs. The other team in the trade was the Nationals who received Trea Turner and Joe Ross. Turner has hit .323 in the minors and could be a very good player in the pros. The Royals signed pitcher Edinson Volquez for 2 years. Last season his ERA was just over 3.00. Also, the Giants resigned RP Sergio Romo for two years. He has had success in the past and is dynamic when he is pitching well.

The San Francisco 49ers released Ray McDonald after his alleged sexual assault. McDonald was arrested earlier in the season for domestic violence. The Chicago Bears announced Jimmy Clausen starter on Sunday vs. the Lions. Original starter Jay Cutler has had a terrible 2014 yet is still being paid more than Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck and Cam Newton combined.
