SAN DIEGO - Chip Hale thought back to the spark Yoenis Cespedes gave the Oakland Athletics. Rodrigo Bentancur Jersey . Now Arizonas new manager is hoping Yasmany Tomas can have the same effect on the Diamondbacks.At the first news conference of the winter meetings to discuss a player, Arizona announced Monday that it had finalized a six-year contract with the 24-year-old Cuban defector, a deal worth $68.5 million.This search for talent goes on for 100 years, and it was kind of limited. And now its expanded to Latin America. Now it goes to the Pacific Rim, said Hall of Famer Tony La Russa, hired in May as Arizonas chief baseball officer. Recently Cuban players are re-emerging. You go to the old days with (Tony) Oliva and (Jose) Cardenal and (Bert) Campaneris, so you know theyre playing quality baseball down there.Arizona said the deal was signed a day earlier in the Dominican Republic. Tomas can opt out after the 2018 season and become a free agent again.If he plays well, my guess would be that ownership would want to extend his contract before his opt comes, new Diamondbacks general manager Dave Stewart said.Hale, who worked with Cespedes as Oaklands bench coach, looked forward to having Tomas hit alongside Paul Goldschmidt and Mark Trumbo in his batting order as Arizona tries to rebound from a major league-worst 64-98 record.Pitchers are going to fear that lineup, he predicted.Tomas hit .375 (6 for 16) for Cuba with two homers and five RBIs in last years World Baseball Classic. The Diamondbacks said he hit 30 homers with 104 RBIs in 205 regular-season games for Industriales in the Cuban Serie Nacional.He may be shifted from the outfield to the infield.We have to see him, put our eyes on him, both at third base and with a bat and see how he does at spring training, Hale said. Were hoping that he can break with the team. Carlo Pinsoglio Jersey . -- Aaron Rodgers looked fine on the practice field Thursday. Gonzalo Higuain Juventus Jersey . -- Desperate to stop Tom Bradys latest comeback bid, the Miami Dolphins sought help from a reserve safety making his NFL debut after being signed Tuesday off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. http://www.juventusfcstore.com/authentic-medhi-benatia-juventus-jersey/ . 9 Baylor Bears just needed some time to get on track in their first game after the Christmas break.LILLE, France - Saying he has recovered from a back injury, Roger Federer has the chance to finally win one of the only notable titles missing from his collection.Federer will play Gael Monfils on Friday in the second singles match as Switzerland takes on France in the final of the Davis Cup. Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka will open the best-of-five series on indoor clay against Frances Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in this northern French city.Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam champion, was doubtful for the final after injuring his back last week during his three-set win over Wawrinka in the semifinals at the ATP finals in London. The injury forced him to pull out of the title match against Novak Djokovic on Sunday.Federer said a final practice session hours before Thursdays draw convinced him he would be able to step on court Friday. Whether he is 100 per cent fit remains uncertain.Well see tomorrow how it goes, but I practiced well today ... and I was really pleased to see that I was able to give it a go, the second-ranked Federer said.If there was a risk it would impact the rest of my life, obviously I would not play, he added. But I had similar problems in the past and I can draw from that experience to know what I can actually do.Along with an Olympic gold medal in singles, a Davis Cup title is the only major hole in the 33-year-old Federers resume.Switzerland is bidding for its first Davis Cup title, while France is seeking its 10th. This is the 13th meeting between the two nations, with France leading 10-2.The doubles on Saturday will pit French pair Julien Benneteau and Richard Gasquet against Marco Chiudinelli and Michael Lammer, but team captains can change their lineup up to one hour before the match. If Federer is judged fit enough to play over three days, he is expected to be picked for the doubles alongside Wawrinka.In the reverse singles Sunday, Federer will play Tsonga, and Wawrinka will face Monfils iin the potentially decisive fifth match. Federico Bernardeschi Juventus Jersey. Wawrinka and Federer said they have smoothed over their relations after the tense London match. Wawrinka complained to the chair umpire during the match that Federers camp was making noise as Wawrinka prepared to return serve at a crucial stage of the third set.Federers presence is a huge boost for the Swiss team, which has won just one of the 10 ties it has played without him in the top-tier World Group since his debut in the competition.The French players played down Federers injury, saying they never thought he would withdraw from the tie at the 27,000-capacity Pierre Mauroy Stadium.He had a four-day rest period, said Monfils, who has never beaten Federer on clay in four matches. Just before that he was playing his best tennis ever. If hes there, its because he feels good and he wants to win this competition. If Roger decided to play, its because he feels hes able to win the match, to beat me.Monfils is preparing for a rematch of his epic quarterfinal against Federer at the U.S. Open in September, when the Frenchman lost in five sets after going up two sets to one and failing to convert two match points.For sure I will have this special match in my mind, Monfils said. But this one will be different. You have someone with whom you can share your emotions during the match: the captain, who can help me if maybe Im tight in the match.French captain Arnaud Clement said Monfils current form was the decisive factor when he picked him over Richard Gasquet.Wawrinka, meanwhile, said he has recovered faster than expected from his loss to Federer in London last Saturday, when he wasted four match points.It was easier than I thought, Wawrinka said. First I was destroyed, and it was difficult on Sunday, too, when I learned about Rogers injury. But when I came here on Monday, something really positive started, and I was surprised how easy it was to switch.
