Brought aboard to a team that has failed to make the playoffs in eight of the last nine seasons, Brendan Shanahan stressed the importance of selflessness and a team-first attitude when asked about what characteristics hes looking for while building his club. Minnesota Timberwolves Black Friday Jersey . The Maple Leafs new president joined TSN 1050 following his introduction and also discussed the importance a teams head coach plays in instituting a culture change and how he will look to go about moulding his roster around his hockey philosophies. Shanahan: Leafs culture change, attitude Toronto Raptors Cyber Monday Jersey . Meek pitched 12 innings over 12 games with Pittsburgh last season. The 30-year-old spent five years with the Pirates, going 7-7 with a 3.34 ERA in 156 appearances out of the bullpen. Charlotte Hornets Cyber Monday Jersey . The agreement Thursday was for $5,000 above the midpoint between the $2.4 million he had asked for and the $1.6 million the Indians had offered when the sides exchanged arbitration figures last month.GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Right-hander Brett Tomko is back with the team that launched his career, signing a minor league deal with the Cincinnati Reds as they opened camp on Sunday. Tomko, who turns 39 on April 7, was invited to camp, which opened with all 36 pitchers taking physicals before a two-hour workout. Position players are scheduled to report for physicals and work out on Friday. Tomko is a footnote to Reds history -- part of the four-player package traded to Seattle for Ken Griffey Jr. on Feb. 10, 2000. The Reds made him their second-round pick in the June 1995 draft. He reached the majors in 1997 and played three seasons with Cincinnati, going 29-26 with a 4.35 earned-run average in 86 starts and two relief appearances. The right-hander has pitched for 10 teams during his career -- Cincinnati, Seattle, San Diego, St. Louis, San Francisco, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City, the New York Yankees, Oakland and Texas. He was 0-1 with a 4.58 ERA in eight games for the Rangers last season, most of which he spent in the minors. Phoenix Suns Cyber Monday Jersey. The Reds rotation and bullpen have a much different look this year. They traded four players to San Diego for right-handed starter Mat Latos, giving up first-round picks Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal along with starter Edinson Volquez. Unable to sign closer Francisco Cordero, they got closer Ryan Madson and acquired set-up man Sean Marshall, giving the back end of the bullpen a totally different look. Cincinnati won the NL Central in 2010 and returned its roster virtually intact last season, then struggled to a third-place finish at 79-83. The Reds spent the off-season revamping a pitching staff that was the biggest problem. Manager Dusty Baker, entering his fifth season in Cincinnati, likes the way his team looks as it opens camp. "It boils down to the more talent you have, the better your chances are," Baker said. "I genuinely like this team." ' ' '
