Yesterday in Sports: 12/8

The MLB off season dominated the sports world yesterday. The A's have spent quite a bit of time this off season losing talent and that continued yesterday. The first big move yesterday was when the Cubs signed ex-Athletic Jason Hammel. Hammel is a starting pitcher and signed a two year deal. Shortly after Hammel signed the A's lost more talent when they traded 1st baseman Brandon Moss to the Indians. All the A's received back for this was infielder Joe Wendle. The A's lost even more talent as they traded starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija to to the White Sox. Oakland will receive Marcus Semien and Chris Bassitt in return. The Whitesox also added relief pitcher David Roberts for four years. Roberts was a free agent.

The Ottawa Senators fired head coach Paul Mclean. Ottawa was in the midst of a five game losing streak and had a record of 11-11-5. This would have been his fourth full season of  coaching the Sens had he finished the season. Dave Cameron will take over as the head coach.

In last nights Monday Night Football game the Packers defeated the Falcons 43-37. The Packers lead after the first half 31-7 but were outscored by 18 in the second half, however they still managed to win. The Pack improve to 10-3 as the Falcons drop to 5-8.

The Warriors won their 13th straight last night as they beat the Timberwolves 102-86. Golden State was lead by Stephen Curry's 21 points and 7 assists. The Rangers beat the Penguins 4-3 in OT to get their 28th point of the year. The Penguins have 39.
