Bronx, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Yankees made their first major move on this offseasons free agent market, signing coveted reliever Andrew Miller to a four-year contract. The YES Network reported the deal to be worth $36 million for the left-hander, who is coming off a dominant 2014 season with the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles. Miller posted a 2.02 earned run average and racked up a career-best 103 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings last season. He also proved to be more than simply a lefty specialist, limiting right-handed hitters to a .145 average and southpaws to a .163 clip over 73 regular-season appearances. The 29-year-olds addition likely reduces New Yorks chances of bringing back closer David Robertson, also a free agent. Miller could form a potentially devastating one-two punch with hard-throwing righty Dellin Betances at the back end of the Yankee bullpen, with Betances the favorite to slot into Robertsons ninth-inning role. Miller played in a key role in Bostons march to the 2013 World Series title, producing a 2.64 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings over 37 appearances that season. He was traded to the Orioles on July 31 after the Red Sox fell out of this past years playoff race, posting a 1.35 ERA in 23 regular season games with Baltimore before firing 7 1/3 shutout innings in the AL playoffs. Originally a starting pitcher, Miller was permanently moved to the bullpen by the Red Sox in 2012. The former first-round pick owns a 2.57 ERA in 163 appearances over the last three seasons, striking out 202 batters in 133 1/3 innings and yielding a .181 average over that span. Miller broke into the majors as a 21-year-old with Detroit in 2006. He was traded to the Marlins as part of the deal that sent two-time AL MVP Miguel Cabrera to the Tigers prior to the 2008 season, then was acquired by Boston from Florida after the 2010 campaign. Over 259 career games, 66 of which have been starts, Miller has compiled a 30-38 record with a 4.91 ERA. Chris Bosh Jersey . 31-Feb. 2.

Toronto FC hosts the three-time Italian league champions in a friendly Aug. 7 at BMO Field, a game that Roma CEO Italo Zanzi said falls within a key part of their pre-season.It was only a short few weeks ago that the debate was raging across the NFL. Had Tom Brady and Bill Belichick finally met their match? Was the Patriots dominance over the AFC East – and most of the AFC itself -- over. Had Belichick finally outsmarted himself by relying too heavily on Brady without surrounding him with much actual talent? At the time, the Patriots were 2-2 with wins over Oakland and Minnesota, a loss to division rival Miami and an absolute shellacking at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs that produced an avalanche of critics and naysayers. (A confession ... yes, that was yours truly on the Oct. 1st Sportscentre, arguing with Tim Graham that Brady was no longer an elite NFL quarterback, based on his play during the first four weeks of the season.) Since then, New England has rattled off five wins in a row, outscoring opponents by an average of more than 18 points per game. Brady has been restored to his rightful place in the football universe and Patriots once again look like a force that will be hard to stop come December and January, erasing any doubt about what kind of threat they pose to the AFC by trouncing Denver. Before Sunday, the Broncos only loss had come in overtime to Seattle, but Peyton Mannings magic disappeared in New England, as it so often does, against the Bill Belichick defence. A healthy Rob Gronkowski has made a huge difference for New England. But to average more than 40 points per game on a team that was criticized for its lack of overall talent is about as remarkable as the manner in which the Patriots have overcome other injuries over that span. The most obvious answer comes down to coaching, with Sundays win over the Broncos illustrating the two most convincing points in the case for Belichick as the greatest NFL head coach ever.dddddddddddd First, the manner in which New England was able to declaw the Broncos offence doesnt speak to the Patriots level of talent as it does to the fact that Belichick sees something in a Manning offence that others arent able to exploit. Secondly, it illustrates a signature of Belichick teams which traditionally get better as a season rolls along. Players improve and emerge between September and December, which is exactly what we saw back in 2001 when the Patriot greatness under Belichick first emerged. In that season, Belichick took a team that had been 5-11 the previous year, overcame an 0-2 start and led it all the way to the Super Bowl with a roster that wasnt exactly full of Hall of Fame players. In fact, the only one may have been the quarterback, a sixth-round pick whom few expected much of when he started and won a game for New England in Week 3 which sparked a remarkable turnaround. The quarterback of the other team that day? None other than Peyton Manning. The same Manning whose Broncos team looked like a sure thing to return to the Super Bowl this season, before being humbled by the Patriots. The Broncos were built to make a Super Bowl run, a veteran team stacked with talent, experience and depth. No one would say that about this edition of the Patriots. But would anyone really be surprised anymore if its them, and not Denver, thats playing for the Super Bowl come February?
