    LOS ANGELES, Calif. - After an itinerant major league career, Brandon McCarthy is grateful the Los Angeles Dodgers are giving him the chance to grow with a contender.The Dodgers finalized a $48 million, four-year contract with McCarthy on Tuesday, designating reliever Brian Wilson for assignment to make room for the right-hander.McCarthy eagerly agreed to a long-term deal with his favourite childhood team, seizing the chance to replace Dan Haren as the NL West champions fourth starter alongside Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu.There was nothing that didnt intrigue me about the Dodgers, McCarthy said. I grew up 10 miles from the stadium. The Dodgers were what I knew, who I looked up to as a kid.Before he graduated from high school in Colorado, the 31-year-old McCarthy lived in Pasadena, California, idolizing Orel Hershiser and looking forward to his familys handful of trips each season to Chavez Ravine. He remembers getting Hershisers autograph at Disneyland as a high point of his youth.And after bouncing around the majors to five teams in his first nine years, McCarthy was thrilled by the Dodgers four-year commitment.It was a very big thing for me, because having that stop-start identity with each organization, it weighs on you, McCarthy said, adding that he wanted to have a chance to actually make a name for myself and actually leave an identity and a long-term reputation with a team.McCarthy gets a $6 million signing bonus with half payable by Jan. 15 and the rest by Feb. 15, and salaries of $11 million in 2015 and 2016, dropping to $10 million in 2017 and 2018. The Dodgers get some injury protection in the form of a conditional club option at $5 million if he spends 180 or more days on disabled list as a result of an injury to his pitching shoulder related to stress fracture or a reaction injury during 2015-18. The option price would increase to $8 million if the DL time is from 120-179 days from 2015-18.In a prudent financial move by the free-spending Dodgers, McCarthys contract includes no tweet escalators. The pitcher already has a fame outstripping his 52-65 career record thanks to the 148,000-odd followers of his popular Twitter account — and that of his equally hilarious wife, Amanda, who also was born and raised in Southern California.If the 6-foot-7 McCarthy maintains the form he showed late last season with the New York Yankees, hell fit in splendidly on Hollywoods favourite team.McCarthy went 7-5 with a 2.89 ERA in 14 starts for the Yankees, who acquired him from Arizona on July 6. He started the season 3-10 with a 5.01 ERA in 18 starts for the Diamondbacks, who signed him before the 2013 season.McCarthy has never won more than 10 games in a season, racking up a career 4.09 ERA during stints with the Chicago White Sox (2005-06), Texas (2007-09) and Oakland (2011-12).But he thrived last season with the Yankees, adding a cutter to his repertoire and pitching more than 200 innings for the first time in his career. New Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi has faith in McCarthy after their time together in Oakland.Although McCarthy has been to the disabled list 10 times in his career, he apparently has fully recovered after getting hit in the head by a line drive from the Angels Erick Aybar in 2012. McCarthys health remains his paramount concern, but he also looks forward to improving his game by joining one of baseballs most impressive rotations.Missing time, you lose that feel and ability in the middle of the season, McCarthy said. Last year I was able to gain as a pitcher instead of falling backwards. Having guys like Greinke there, having guys like Kershaw, having a whole new library of information you can tap into once you walk in those doors, Im looking forward to that.To make room on their 40-man roster, the Dodgers finally gave up on Wilson, the heavily bearded reliever who revitalized his career with Los Angeles over the past two years.Wilson went 2-4 with a 4.66 ERA in 61 appearances for the Dodgers last season, but the longtime Giants closer blew four of his five save opportunities and lost his job as a setup man for Kenley Jansen while developing a reputation for wild inconsistency. After two elbow ligament replacement surgeries, he has struggled to hit 90 mph with his fastball, but his strong finish to 2013 earned him a lucrative contract with a big player option for 2015.If the deep-pocketed Dodgers release Wilson, they would be responsible for his $10 million salary. If he then signs a major league contract with another team, that team would pay him the $507,000 major league minimum salary, which would be offset.President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedmans new regime in Los Angeles has been awfully busy in its first month on the job. While trading Haren and Dee Gordon to Miami in a seven-player deal last week, the club also acquired veterans Jimmy Rollins and Howie Kendrick while shipping Matt Kemp to San Diego. Chad Thomas Jersey . Maximilian Arnold put Wolfsburg ahead in the eighth minute, when the stationary Fallou Diagne allowed him to guide Patrick Ochs cross beyond the helpless Freiburg goalkeeper, and Ivica Olic doubled the lead three minutes later after Luiz Gustavo did well to set him up. Austin Corbett Jersey . Will Venable and Ryan Ludwick drove in a run each for the Padres, who have taken six of their last seven contests and clinched their third straight series win after winning the first two in this set. Clayton Richard (4-9) allowed five hits and a pair of runs over seven innings, while fanning five. http://www.cheapbrownsjerseys.net/. Eller said the Oilers were a "junior team" that was "all over the place" before Edmontons 4-3 victory over Montreal on Tuesday night, Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins took offence to Ellers comments and used it to motivate his youthful team. Antonio Callaway Jersey . In this space, I will be writing new and unique pieces about the team that you wont be able to find anywhere else.  So naturally, in an attempt to come up with a fresh topic about the Ottawa Senators, I am going to start with a piece about their goaltending. Baker Mayfield Jersey . Cornet won six straight games to rally from a 2-0 deficit and take the first set. The 25th-ranked Frenchwoman broke back twice in the second set before Bacsinszky saved a match point at 5-4.Minnesota Wild 2 Winnipeg Jets 1 – The loss snapped the Jets win streak at four, and dropped their road record to 3-5-1. Eight of the nine road games have been decided by one goal. The Jets got off to a slow start and were outshot 9-2 in the first period but were only down 1-0. Mikko Koivu had the only goal. Jets got going in the second and outshot the Wild 14-8 but could not beat Josh Harding. The best chance was a blast from Dustin Byfuglien from the edge of the circle that Harding made a glove save on. Blake Wheeler had a career-tying five shots on goal in the second. The Jets tied the game just 54 seconds into the third on a goal that initially was credited to Bryan Little, but later changed to Byfuglien.  It was his fourth goal in the past four games. Wheeler drew an assist. Ondrej Pavelec made a number of big saves throughout the game and it looked as though these two teams were bound for overtime. The last three Jets games were decided by a shootout, while three of the last four games for the Wild have gone to overtime. However, a faceoff after an icing call, the Wilds top line connected for the game winner for the second time in as many games. Friday against Florida it was Charlie Coyle with the winner in the third, in this game Coyle set up Koivu for his second of the night. TThe goal coming at 16:48 of the third.dddddddddddd Final shots favoured Minnesota 24-22. With the win the Wild have now won six straight at home and are 10-1-1 in their last 12. The two teams meet in Winnipeg Saturday afternoon.Jets will play three straight at home starting with their third back-to-back of the season with Calgary Flames at the MTS Centre Monday. It will be the Flames first game in Winnipeg since the Jets returned to the NHL. Thursday the Jets are home to Chicago, and then the Wild game Saturday afternoon. All three games on TSN Jets and TSN 1290. Wheeler ended the night with eight shots on goal, a season high but one short of his career high. With Zach Bogosian out week to week with a groin injury, Keaton Ellerby played a season high 22:09, paired with Toby Enstrom.  Zach Redmond in his first game of the year played 11:25 and was paired most the game with Adam Pardy. "We played a pretty good road game," stated Coach Claude Noel post game. "We got a bad start because we didnt shoot the puck, especially from our D. "We made some changes after the first and played a reasonable game. Tough game to lose. A mistake led to an icing that led to a D zone face-off that led to the goal." Tough night in the face off department with the Wild winning 63%.
