New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Daryle Ward, who played 11 seasons for six teams but has been out of Major League Baseball since 2008, was suspended 50 games for testing positive for an amphetamine. Ward, currently a free-agent minor league first baseman, will serve his suspension upon signing with a major league organization, MLB said Wednesday.

 

Additionally, MLB announced free agent minor league left-handed pitcher Dustin Richardson was suspended 50 games for testing positive for several substances. He will also serve his ban once he is signed somewhere.

 

"Prince Fielder is one of the premier offensive players in the game of baseball and we are extremely excited to add an All-Star-caliber player like him to our lineup," said Tigers president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski. "The addition of Prince is a testament to the organization's continued commitment to fielding a championship club."

 

In 998 big league games, all with the Brewers, the 27-year-old Fielder has clubbed 230 homers and driven in 656 runs. He finished third in the voting for the National League Most Valuable Player last year after batting .299 with 38 homers and 120 RBI.

 

Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Nationals have agreed to terms with reliever Brad Lidge on a one-year contract. Lidge, 35, has been a closer for much of his career, but has struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness in recent years. He will likely be a setup man for Drew Storen, who posted a 2.75 earned run average and converted 43-of-48 save chances for Washington last season.

 

However, the following season, Lidge blew 11 saves while recording an 0-8 record and 7.21 ERA. He rebounded in 2010, but has appeared in only 75 games in the last two seasons because of elbow and shoulder injuries.

 

Lidge has spent 10 seasons in the majors after being selected in the first round of the 1998 draft by Houston. He pitched his first six seasons with the Astros.

 

Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Athletics have agreed to terms on a one- year contract with outfielder Jonny Gomes. Gomes, 31, split last season between Cincinnati and Washington, and hit .209 with 14 homers and 43 RBI in 120 games. The Reds traded him to the Nationals in late July.

 

Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox signed outfielder Cody Ross to a one-year contract on Thursday. Ross batted .240 with 14 home runs and 52 RBI over 121 games with San Francisco last season.

 

An in-season acquisition in 2010, Ross earned MVP honors for the National League Championship Series as the Giants went on to win a World Series title.

 

The 35-year-old right-hander posted a 3.26 earned run average in 17 relief appearances over six stints with Boston in 2011.
