DENVER -- First baseman: Check. Veteran reliever: Check.Usually more frugal this time of year, the Colorado Rockies are crossing quite a few big-ticket items off their free agency shopping list. On Thursday, the team shored up its shaky bullpen by agreeing to a $19 million, three-year contract with reliever Mike Dunn.Its the second splashy move the Rockies have made in recent days. They also signed All-Star outfielder Ian Desmond to a $70 million, five-year deal as he makes the switch to first base.Colorado may not be done shopping, either.Even after adding Dunn and Desmond, Colorado general manager Jeff Bridich hinted he may still be retooling the team for Bud Blacks first year as Rockies manager. Colorado went 75-87 last season, its best record since 2010, and is trying to close the gap on the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants in the NL West.I believe in this club and this collection of players we have already on the team and the players that are coming in, Bridich said. But I think it would be remiss to say were going to sit here and be satisfied.Hence, the conversations with free agents such as long-ball hitters Mark Trumbo and Edwin Encarnacion.Our process will always be, as Ive said, eyes and ears open to whatever, whether thats free agency or a trade, Bridich said.By signing with Colorado, Dunn not only moves closer to home but possibly to landing a closers role. The Farmington, New Mexico, native has typically worked the middle innings over his career.You always want to potentially become a closer if youre a reliever, Dunn said Thursday at his introductory news conference. Ultimately, I want to win baseball games, however that pans out.The 31-year-old left-hander gets $4 million next season and $7 million in each of the following two years. Colorado has a $6 million option for 2020 with a $1 million buyout, and that seasons salary would become guaranteed at $7 million if pitches in 60 games in 2019 or 130 combined in 2018-19.Dunn figures to help buoy a bullpen that blew 28 saves last season. He went 6-1 with a 3.40 ERA in 51 appearances for the Miami Marlins and had eight holds and four blown saves.Another thing: Hes far from intimidated by the way routine fly balls travel in the thin air of Coors Field.You make good pitches, youll get outs, Dunn casually said. Make better pitches and win the game.Dunn joins a bullpen that includes relievers such as Adam Ottavino -- the favorite to be the closer heading into spring training -- Jake McGee, Chad Qualls and Jason Motte, along with younger arms like Carlos Estevez. Colorado finished 12-20 in games decided by one run last season as the bullpen posted a 5.10 ERA.Were trying to build a good pen where once the starter comes out and we have the lead the game is over, Dunn said.Dunn was picked by the New York Yankees in the 33rd round of the 2004 amateur draft. He is 28-25 over his career with the Yankees, Atlanta Braves and the Marlins. Hes durable, too, only landing on the disabled list once in his career -- at the beginning of 2016, with a strained forearm.I cant guarantee the results, but I guarantee Ill leave everything on the field, Dunn said. My goal is to get in 80 games, maybe 81 -- try to pitch every other day. I train for that and thats what I shoot for.Dunn grew up in Farmington, which is about a seven-hour drive from Denver.When I was younger, I told my dad, `Ill pitch in that stadium someday, Dunn said. This has been a location Ive been looking at for a long time. Ive been paying attention to what theyre doing. Its a very exciting group of guys.Its a team that has got high hopes and its somewhere I really want to come and hopefully win a championship. Nike React Shoes Online .

Tom Brady is finally ready to laugh at Deflategate.The New England Patriots quarterback, who was forced to sit out four games earlier this season for allegedly being aware of a scheme to deflate footballs in the 2015 AFC title game, is featured in a new spot for Foot Locker that debuted Wednesday.Leading up to Thanksgiving, the shoe and apparel retailer concentrates a week full of shoe releases that it calls its Week of Greatness.In the spot with Brady, two fans walk into a diner having picked up their shoes and wonder aloud how its possible that the company is sustaining success.Brady overhears the two and launches into a speech, which eventually becomes about him.Just because something is great year after year doesnt mean anything is going on, Brady says to the fans. Why cant some things just be great? It starts with questions, and then questions turn into assumptions, and then assumptions turn into vacations. So why would you punish the Week of Greatness for something that never even happened?Fooot Locker wrote the spot for Brady, and the quarterback was all-in.ddddddddddddWe like our spots to allow athletes to poke fun at themselves, and people enjoy that, said Jed Berger, the companys vice president of brand marketing. Our fans and customers like to see these athletes as humans. I dont think anyone has seen Tom Brady like they see him in this spot.Because the ads run for only 10 days, its important that they resonate, Berger said.Three years ago, the companys Week of Greatness ads were based on the idea that all was right in the world. Mike Tyson gave Evander Holyfield his ear back; Dennis Rodman was given a one-way ticket to North Korea; and Brett Favre finally knew just when to retire.In the 2014 ad, Derrick Rose called up Tim Duncan to express his excitement over the week, and Duncan mustered as much excitement as he could -- which, of course, wasnt much.
