While theyve yet to dive into CFL free agency, the Ottawa Redblacks signed a
former NFLer on Tuesday in wide receiver Limas Sweed.

round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, this will be his second go around
in the CFL after previously having spent time with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The expansion Redblacks also made their first trade on Tuesday, acquiring
defensive lineman Justin Phillips from the Calgary Stampeders. The Stampeders
also sent their third-round pick (23rd overall) in the upcoming CFL draft to
Ottawa for the Redblacks third-round pick (19th overall) this year. Calgary also
gets Ottawas third-round selection in 2015. The six-foot-four 240-pound
Phillips, who is from the Ottawa suburb of Stittsville, spent the last seven
seasons in Calgary where he registered 78 defensive tackles, 78 special teams
tackles and four sacks. "We tried to get Justin during the expansion draft but
things did not work out then, but were glad to be able to acquire such a quality
player now," Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins said in a statement.
"Justin is an Ottawa guy and we believe hes going to thrive in this
environment." The 28-year-old played his university football at Wilfrid Laurier,
where he won the 2005 Vanier Cup. Phillips was selected fifth overall by Calgary
in the 2007 CFL draft and won the Grey Cup the following season with the
Stampeders.

spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Tuesday because the
roster move has not been announced.(SportsNetwork.com) - So it all boils down to
Game 162 of the regular season for the Detroit Tigers and their draining pursuit
of an American League Central crown. All the Tigers have to do is win Sunday
versus the Minnesota Twins in the finale of a four-game series at Comerica Park.
They are one game ahead of the Kansas City Royals for the AL Central lead, and
the Royals will close out their series with the Chicago White Sox this
afternoon. A one-game tiebreaker is on tap Monday if needed. Tasked with
pitching the Tigers to a division title will be David Price. He is 3-4 with a
3.97 earned run average in 10 outings with the club since coming over via trade
with the Tampa Bay Rays. Price is just 2-4 in his past six decisions and did not
factor in the outcome of a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, when
he yielded three runs in 8 2/3 frames. Price has allowed 14 runs in his last
four starts. The left-hander has faced the Twins 10 times (9 starts) in his
career and is 4-3 with a 2.84 ERA. Price, the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner, is
2-1 in three meetings with Minnesota this season. The playoff-bound Tigers have
lost two in a row after winning three straight, and were hammered again by the
Twins in Saturdays 12-3 decision. Minnesota recorded an 11-4 victory Friday,
then kept it going in the third test of this set by rattling Detroit starting
pitcher Kyle Lobstein. Lobstein gave up six runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings
to suffer the loss and Nick Castellanos homered to go along with three RBI. Its
frustrating for sure, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said of his clubs second
straight lopsided loss.
Nike Air Max 90 Dam. Youre in such a deep
hole its hard to climb out. Ausmus and the Tigers just need to win Sunday, but
the Twins are out to play spoiler before they pack up for the winter. Eduardo
Escobar hit a two-run single in his second at-bat during a six-run fifth inning
and also clubbed a three-run homer. Escobar finished 4-for-5 with six runs
batted in, Chris Herrmann had three hits and an RBI and starter Ricky Nolasco
tossed six innings of two-run ball for the victory. Its always nice to play the
spoiler, Nolasco said, but we dont play this game to be the spoiler. We play
this game to be in their position. Their backs are against the wall, so well see
what happens tomorrow. Brian Dozier added a solo homer for the Twins, who hit 70
wins (70-91) for the first time since 2010, the last time they reached the
postseason. Minnesota will hand pitching duties to Kyle Gibson Sunday and the
right-hander has a 13-11 record to go along with a 4.50 earned run average.
Gibson is aiming for his third straight win and made it two in a row with seven
innings of one-run ball in a 6-3 victory over Arizona on Tuesday. Gibson, who
allowed 15 runs in his previous three starts, is 7-7 in 17 road appearances this
season and 2-2 with a 6.86 ERA in four career starts against the Tigers. In an
8-4 win over Detroit on Sept. 17, Gibson posted the triumph even though he
permitted four runs and seven hits in six innings. He will try to shake up
Detroits title hopes this afternoon. Minnesota is 10-8 against the Tigers this
season.
