Matt Garza To The Cubs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The deal isn\u2019t necessarily finalized but the Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to send right-handed starter Matt Garza to the Chicago Cubs in an eight-player swap. In return for Garza, who should become the Cubs\u2019 No. 2 starter, Tampa will receive pitching prospect Chris Archer, outfielder Brandon Guyer, catcher Robinson Chirnos, shortstop Hak-Ju Lee and outfielder Sam Fuld. The Rays will also send a minor-league pitcher and hitter to Chicago.<\/p>\n

Garza was 15-10 with a 3.91 ERA for Tampa last season.<\/p>\n

NFL news: Dolphins out of Harbaugh sweepstakes, Niners lock him up for five years; Cowboys name Jason Garrett full-time coach<\/strong><\/p>\n

One day it sounds like the Miami Dolphins are in the lead for Jim Harbaugh\u2019s services; the next, they\u2019re out of the running. The Dolphins will instead retrain Tony Sparano as head coach.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: As I typed the paragraph above, Adam Schefter reported that the 49ers have signed Harbaugh to a five-year contract. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Jason Garrett, likely Leslie Frazier in Minnesota, has shifted from interim to full-time head coach in Dallas. The Cowboys will bring him back in 2011 after they went 5-3 down the stretch with Garrett replacing Wade Phillips. Garrett will reportedly retain his offensive co-ordinator duties as well. <\/p>\n

NHL news: Devils trade Jamie Langenbrunner back to Dallas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jamie Langenbrunner is free of the swamp and back with the team that drafted him. The lowly New Jersey Devils shipped their captain to the Dallas Stars today for a conditional third-round 2011 draft pick. The 35-year-old Langenbrunner was drafted by Dallas in 1993 and traded to New Jersey in 2002. He won a Stanley Cup with the Stars in 1999 and Devils in 2003. After two straight seasons of 60-plus points, He has just 14 in 31 games this year and is a minus-15.<\/p>\n

NBA news: Yao has foot surgery, career may be over<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yao Ming\u2019s once-promising NBA career may be ending with a whimper. He missed all of last year due to reconstructive foot surgery and played just five games this season before a stress fracture in his left ankle sidelined him. He had surgery to repair it yesterday and his career may be over.<\/p>\n

PGA news: Camilo Villegas disqualified from Hyundai after TV viewer catches rules violation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an odd story from the PGA: Camilo Villegas has been disqualified from the 2011 PGA Tour opener, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, because a TV viewer caught him breaking a rule and called it in.<\/p>\n

Villegas swatted away a loose piece of grass in front of his divot as a chip shot was rolling back down a hill toward him. That broke the rule stating \u201cwhen a ball is in motion, a loose impediment that might influence the movement of the ball must not be removed.\u201d It was a two shot penalty, meaning his scorecard was wrong, so he was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.<\/p>\n
