SAN DIEGO - Its a good thing Dave Dombrowski and Walt Jocketty didnt remain in their suites with those shiny Do Not Disturb signs on their doors. The two old friends might never have known they had rooms right across the hall at baseballs winter meetings.The two pals made a trade Thursday morning. Dombrowskis Detroit Tigers acquired pitcher Alfredo Simon from Jockettys Cincinnati Reds for a pair of young players.We made the deal in the hallway, Jocketty, the Reds general manager, joked when he and Dombrowski announced the trade together on the main stage in the media room.Cincinnati got minor league right-hander Jonathon Crawford and infielder Eugenio Suarez as part of the deal, announced Thursday on the last day of the winter meetings.Simon, a 33-year-old right-hander, was 15-10 with a 3.44 ERA last season, when he was selected to the National League All-Star team. He gives the Tigers a new starter on the same day they traded right-hander Rick Porcello to Boston.Hes a guy that we slot right into our rotation, said Dombrowski, Detroits president and general manager. It creates some depth for us to allow us to do some other things. We gave up two good young players, but its also a situation that we were able to get a guy that made the All-Star team last (season) and gives us depth in our rotation.Crawford, 23, was a first-round draft pick in 2013 and went 8-3 with a 2.85 ERA this year at Class A West Michigan. The 22-year-old Suarez hit .242 with four homers and 23 RBIs for Detroit last season.Coming here to the winter meetings, one of our objectives was to try to clear some payroll space and also make the best deal we could, Jocketty said. Its tough to give up a player like Simon who was very, very good for us.Cincinnati also dealt pitcher Mat Latos to the Miami Marlins.(A previous version of this story had an incorrect RBI total for Eugenio Suarez. Suarez had 23 RBIs for Detroit last season.) Grey Nike Tanjun . Today, he looks at the offensive line. 1.

Discount Nike Tanjun . -- The Windsor Spitfires were left with just one goaltender Tuesday after having their starter walk out on them midway through Game 3 of their Ontario Hockey League playoff matchup with the London Knights. PHILADELPHIA -- Sergei Bobrovsky stuck it to his former team, then gave his stick a few extra shakes in celebration toward the jeering crowd. Back on familiar ice, Bobrovsky made himself quite at home. Bobrovsky stopped 37 shots for his fourth shutout of the season, leading the Columbus Blue Jackets to their first win in Philadelphia, 2-0 over the Flyers on Thursday night. "Its something special," Bobrovsky said. "Its tough to explain." James Wisniewski and Brandon Dubinsky each scored goals for the Blue Jackets, who were 0-5-1 in Philadelphia since the franchises inception in 2000. Led by Bobrovsky, a former Flyer, the Blue Jackets moved closer to clinching their second-ever playoff berth. They closed within two points of the Flyers for third place in the Metropolitan Division. "Were in a good position," Dubinsky said. "Its not like where we were last year when we had to continue to watch and hope and chase teams. Were right where we want to be." The Flyers have lost three straight games and were shut out for the second straight time. They havent scored a goal in 130 minutes, 25 seconds, dating back to a third-period goal on March 30 against Boston. Flyers coach Craig Berube said the offence simply didnt test Bobrovsky enough, especially in the third. "Weve got to do a better job of getting shots through, get rebounds," he said. Wisniewski snapped a scoreless tie with his seventh goal of the season late in the second period. He finished off a Columbus attack that saw at least three shots on Steve Mason before he was able to slide in the puck with 6 seconds left on the power play. Dubinsky appeared to kick in the puck early in the third to make it 2-0. The Blue Jackets are about as automatic as it gets in the NHL with a lead after two periods: They improved to 27-2-4 with a two-period lead. "Were going to keep climbing," Bobrovsky said. The interesting matchup was the one between the pipes: Mason vs. Bobrovsky. Maason had it all figured out in Columbus when he went 33-20-7 with 10 shutouts and won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in 2008-09, the only season the Blue Jackets have made the playoffs.dddddddddddd But Mason and Columbus could never recapture that fleeting success again. He fell to 20 wins and five shutouts the next season, and bottomed out in 2011-12 with a 16-26-3 mark. Mason lost his job to Bobrovsky, the former Flyer who blossomed into last seasons Vezina Trophy winner. Mason, who had 25 saves, was traded to the Flyers at the end of last season and became the No. 1 goalie after they bought out Ilya Bryzgalovs contract. Bobrovsky was expendable because Bryzgalov signed a nine-year deal and was supposed to anchor the net as Philadelphia chased its first Stanley Cup championship since 1975. Bryzgalovs quirky personality and sometimes brutal honesty with the media didnt always endear him to teammates and he lasted only two seasons. Mason and Bobrovsky are now leading playoff pushes for both organizations. Bobrovsky made 17 saves in the second period and the Blue Jackets defence kept the punchless Flyers out of the zone for most of the third. "We know it means a lot for him to be back here in Philly," Dubinsky said. "When you get traded from a team, it always feels good to go into the building and beat them. He was huge. He gave us an opportunity when we werent at our best in the first." The Flyers need to rediscover their offence over the final games if they want to make any kind of deep post-season run. "I dont think you can start pressing the panic button or anything like that, but we definitely need to get harder, especially in front of their end," forward Scott Hartnell said. NOTES: Flyers D Kimmo Timonen (upper body) returned to the lineup after a one-game absence. ... Bobrovsky has eight career shutouts. ... The Blue Jackets are 3-1 vs. the Flyers this season. ...
