IN BRIEF
A’s trade Healy
to Mariners for
Pagan, minor
leaguer
SEATTLE — Still in the ini-
tial stages of the offseason, general
manager Jerry Dipoto and the Seat-
tle Mariners believe they’ve solved
one of their big concerns.
The Mariners acquired pow-
er-hitting infielder Ryon Healy from
the Oakland Athletics on Wednes-
day for right-handed reliever
Emilio Pagan and minor league
shortstop Alexander Campos.
Seattle acquired Healy with the
intent that he will be its everyday
first baseman going into the 2018
season.
“One of the things we joked
about internally is just keeping
him from doing damage against us
probably makes us a better team,”
Dipoto said.

NEW YORK — The Associated
Press has obtained a letter sent by the
NFL to Jerry Jones’ attorney accus-
ing the Dallas Cowboys owner of
“conduct detrimental to the league’s
best interests” over his objection to a
contract extension for Commissioner
Roger Goodell.
The letter accusing Jones of sab-
otaging the negotiations was sent to
David Boies on Wednesday. Jones
hired Boies and threatened to sue
the NFL if Goodell’s contract exten-
sion was approved by the compensa-
tion committee, made up of six own-
ers. All 32 owners voted unanimously
in May to let the committee finalize a
deal with Goodell.
The letter, first reported by The
New York Times and The Wall Street
Journal, was written by outside coun-

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard drives to the basket on Orlando Magic forward Evan Fournier
during Wednesday’s game.
Lillard has 26 points to lead
Blazers over Magic 99-94
By ANNE M. PETERSON
Associated Press
PORTLAND — Shabazz Napier
is clearly comfortable in his role this
season.
“I think you just go out there and
play with a free mind, and just enjoy
it,” said Portland’s reserve guard,
who had a season-high 19 points in
the Trail Blazers’ 99-94 victory over
the Orlando Magic on Wednesday
night.
Damian Lillard led the Blaz-
ers with 26 points, 11 rebounds and
seven assists, but it was Napier who
was the difference as Portland went to
a three-guard lineup. Napier was 5 for
5 from 3-point range.
“He killed us. Five for five from the
3, played a terrific basketball game,”
UP NEXT: BLAZERS
• Portland Trail Blazers (8-6)
at Sacramento Kings (3-11)
• Friday, 7 p.m. TV: NSNW
Magic coach Frank Vogel said about
Napier. “They went smaller than we
were. They went small, but we went
even smaller.”
CJ McCollum added 24 points and
Portland finished 4-2 on its six-game
homestand.
Evan Fournier had 22 points
for the Magic, who lost their third
straight. Nikola Vucevic had 11
points and 10 rebounds.
The Magic trailed by 11 points
during the third quarter, but Fourni-
er’s 3-pointer put the Magic up 81-80
with 6:52 left in the game. Portland
reclaimed the lead on consecutive
baskets from Jusuf Nurkic and Mau-
rice Harkless.
McCollum’s 3-pointer extended
the Blazers’ lead to 87-83 with 4:30 to
go. After Napier’s 3-pointer, McCol-
lum added another, and the Blaz-
ers led 95-86 with 1:43 left. Orlando
couldn’t catch up.
The Magic were playing the last
of a four-game road trip. Orlando
went into the game with two straight
losses, including 110-100 at Golden
State on Monday.
The Blazers were coming off a
confidence-boosting 99-82 victory
over the Denver Nuggets on Mon-
day that snapped a two-game skid.
Portland’s offense had been stagnant,
especially in close games.

sel for the compensation committee
and given to the AP by a person who
requested anonymity because it was
not intended to be made public.
It’s the latest escalation of a feud
between the NFL and one of its most
powerful owners. Jones
has denied that his objec-
tions to the extension are
tied to Goodell’s deci-
sion to suspend star run-
ning back Ezekiel Elliott
for six games over alleged
domestic violence.
Elliott abandoned his
legal fight over the suspen-
sion Wednesday. He has five games
left to serve.
“Your client’s antics, whatever
their motivation, are damaging the
league and reflect conduct detrimen-
tal to the league’s best interests,” the
letter said.
Jones has said he has issues with
compensation in the deal, along with
concerns about the escalation of
player protests involving the national
anthem and how the league has han-
dled them. He also has suggested that
owners should revisit the power that
the position wields.
The letter confirmed
that Jones was removed as
a non-voting member of
the compensation commit-
tee after threatening to sue.
Jones,
who
was
inducted into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame in
August, was accused of shar-
ing with all the owners an outdated
document related to the negotiations
with Goodell.
“Someone who is genuinely con-
cerned ‘that the owners know the
truth about the negotiations’ would
not deliberately distribute such an out-
dated document, particularly when
he has in his possession drafts that
are current and accurately reflect the
actual state of negotiations, or threaten
to sue the league and its owners if he
does not get his way,” the letter said.
Jones has acknowledged being at
odds with the compensation commit-
tee chairman, Atlanta owner Arthur
Blank, over the Goodell talks. They
didn’t speak on the field before the
Falcons’ 27-7 victory over the Cow-
boys on Sunday.
Blank issued a statement Monday
saying the committee planned to pro-
ceed with finalizing the Goodell deal
and would keep other owners updated.
A spokesman for Jones didn’t
immediately respond to a request for
comment.
Jones claimed Tuesday on his radio
show that “well over half” the owners
agree with him in wanting a final vote
after the committee is finished negoti-
ating the deal.
Max Scherzer heard his name
and thrust his arms in the air,
shouting and smiling big before
turning to kiss his wife.
Corey Kluber, on the other
hand, gulped once and blinked.
Two aces, two different styles
— and now another Cy Young
Award for each.
The animated Scherzer of the
Washington Nationals coasted
to his third Cy Young, winning
Wednesday for the second straight
year in the National League. He
breezed past Los Angeles Dodg-
ers ace Clayton Kershaw, draw-
ing 27 of the 30 first-place votes
in balloting by members of the
Baseball Writers’ Association of
America.
Kluber’s win was even more
of a runaway. The Cleveland Indi-
ans ace took 28 first-place votes,
easily outpacing Chris Sale of the
Boston Red Sox for his second AL
Cy Young.
Scherzer yelled “yes!” when
his award was announced on
MLB Network, a reaction in keep-
ing with his expressive reputation.
He showed that intensity often
this year, whether he was cursing
under his breath like a madman
during his delivery or demand-
ing — also with expletives — that
manager Dusty Baker leave him
in the game.
Just a little different than the
pitcher they call “Klubot.” Kluber
was stoic as ever when announced
as the AL winner. He swallowed
hard but otherwise didn’t react,
only showing the hint of a smile
moments later when answering
questions.
Not that he wasn’t thrilled.
“Winning a second one maybe,
for me personally, kind of vali-
dates the first one,” Kluber said.
Scherzer’s win moves him
into rare company. He’s the 10th
pitcher with at least three Cy
Youngs, and among the other nine,
only Kershaw and Roger Clemens
aren’t in the Hall of Fame.
“That’s why I’m drinking a lot
of champagne tonight,” Scherzer
said.
Scherzer earned the NL honor
last year with Washington and the
2013 American League prize with
Detroit.
