KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Former first-round draft pick Aaron Crow was traded from the Kansas City Royals to the Miami Marlins for left-hander Brian Flynn and right-hander Reid Redman.In another move Friday, Jason Frasor and the Royals agreed to a one-year contract with a 2016 mutual option that guarantees the reliever $1.8 million.Crow, a 28-year-old right-hander taken with the 12th overall pick in 2009, was 6-1 with a 4.12 ERA and three saves in 67 relief appearances this year. The Topeka, Kansas, native did not pitch in the post-season.Crow was a starter in college and in the minor leagues, and the Marlins plan to consider him for their rotation.Were not sure how the rest of the off-season will unfold in terms of what else we add to our pitching staff, president of baseball operations Mike Hill said. But we love the flexibility. We love the thought he could possibly be a starting option for us. At a minimum we know hell be a valuable bullpen piece and add to the overall depth of our staff.Crow, who made the All-Star team in 2011, said starting in the majors is something he has always wanted to do.Its a little more taxing on your body, and I think a little more challenging, too, Crow said. As a reliever you only face guys one time. Facing them three times in one game is a little bit different. Its a little more challenging. Its something Id like to see if I could be successful at.Flynn, 24, was 8-10 with a 4.06 ERA in 25 starts at Triple-A New Orleans and also had one start and one relief appearance for the Marlins, a year after making four starts for Miami in his first big league season. He played at Wichita State in 2009 and 11.The 26-year-old Redman was 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA and seven saves at Class A Jupiter and Double-A Jacksonville.Frasor gets $1.25 million next season, down from $1.75 million this year. The 2016 option is for $2 million with a $550,000 buyout.He can earn $500,000 annually in performance bonuses based on games pitched: $75,000 each for 35, 40, 45 and 50, and $100,000 apiece for 55 and 60.The 37-year-old right-hander was acquired from Texas in July and went 3-0 with a 1.53 ERA in 23 games for Kansas City and 4-1 with a 2.66 ERA in 61 games overall. He was a veteran presence in a young clubhouse as the Royals made the post-season for the first time since 1985 and lost to San Francisco in a seven-game World Series.Frasor was 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in the playoffs, earning victories in the Royals wild-card win over the As and in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series against Baltimore.

LOUIS -- Russell Martin wanted a better fate for his starting pitcher and helped deliver a happier ending.Blackpools Winter Gardens is the iconic venue for one of darts three majors and four of the sports biggest names will all be bidding for the World Matchplay title. Phil Taylor has reigned supreme winning an incredible 15 titles, and remarkably claiming every final he has ever reached on the Lancashire coast.James Wade has reached six finals and won once, Adrian Lewis is yet to win while MVG has reached two finals winning his first title last year. Gary Anderson, winner of the World Championship heads to the seaside seeking a first matchplay title that would complete a memorable triple crown. So who has the best chance of victory and who could fall early, we turned to Hawaii 501 for the lowdown...... World Matchplay Draw Top Half Michael van Gerwen (1) v Jamie Cavan Vincent van der Voort (16) v Kyle Anderson Robert Thornton (8) v Josh Payne Dave Chisnall (9) v Benito van de Pas Peter Wright (5) v Joe Cullen Ian White (12) v Daryl Gurney Adrian Lewis (4) v Mark Webster Kim Huybrechts (13) v Gerwyn Price Bottom Half Gary Anderson (2) v Alan Norris Terry Jenkins (15) v Justin Pipe Michael Smith (7) v Simon Whitlock Jelle Klaasen (10) v Steve Beaton James Wade (6) v Mervyn King Raymond van Barneveld (11) v Brendan Dolan Phil Taylor (3) v Robbie Green Stephen Bunting (14) v Mensur Suljovic Tough for Taylor? Phil Taylor will be looking to add to his 15 titles in Blackpool For me, of all the top four, Phil Taylor has the toughest draw.dddddddddddd Hes got Robbie Green, which he will be happy with, and I expect him to brush Kong aside. But then hes got the winner of either Stephen Bunting or Mensur Suljovic. I think that will be a tough game. I know Bunting has not made the charge up the rankings like we thought he would. But hes feeling good and you can only take the man on his word.After that, Phil would then have the winner of James Wade and Raymond van Barneveld in the quarter-finals. Thats going to be really tough. The likelihood is that he would have to beat Gary Anderson in the semis to reach the final. Thats probably the toughest hes ever had, because hes always been one and two seed and now hes No 3.Can MVG rule again? Michael van Gerwen will be defending the title he won for the first time last year Ive got to say, Michael van Gerwen drawing Jamie Caven is a nice opener for him. Then he will have Vincent van der Voort or Kyle Anderson in the second round. You have got to back him to win that as well and really Dave Chisnall, being the 8th seed - is the one hes got to stop. If he can, that puts him in the semi-finals, so Van Gerwen will be happy with his draw, I feel absolutely sure about that. Could Anderson or Lewis land the title? Gary Anderson has been in fantastic form this season I think Gary Anderson will be happy as well. The only thing for him is - hes the mentor for Michael Smith and hes in the same section. Alan Norris is first up and Im backing Gary to win that game. I dont think Adrian Lewis will be too disappointed with his draw. First round opponent Mark Webster is out of form. But Peter Wright is the danger man in Adrian Lewis quarter, because they are seeded four and five. Adrian Lewis is seeking a first Matchplay crown Will Wade reach another final? James Wade lost a fifth Matchplay final last year James Wade has a horrible draw. Mervyn King first, Barney second, maybe Taylor third, Anderson fourth game and Van Gerwen in the final. But never underestimate James Wade, especially at Blackpool, hes made the final six times. He didnt play well in last years final, but he played well up to it. He likes the place and the format seems to suit him, because he nicks the odd leg and hes hard to break. Hes a really tough competitor is James. Why not Wade?
