After speaking with several teams, Xzax came to terms for a deal

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland Indians two-time all-star closer Chris Perez, charged with misdemeanour possession after marijuana was mailed to his home in his dogs name, told drug agents he had pot for personal use and pointed out two jars, according to investigative reports. Asked about any drugs or weapons by officers who went to the Perez home on Tuesday with a search warrant, "Perez responded that he had personal use marijuana in the basement and volunteered to direct the officers to the location of it," an investigative report said. "He pointed out a number of items of paraphernalia along with two separate mason jars containing a green vegetable matter suspected of being marijuana," it said. Police, tipped off to suspicious packages by postal inspectors, arranged a delivery Tuesday under surveillance, and Perezs wife, Melanie, accepted two packages, the reports said. Melanie Perez, whose maiden name is Baum, told the undercover officer delivering the packages that they were intended for her dog, named Brody. The package was addressed to Brody Baum, according to postal inspectors. A later house search under warrant began while Perez and his wife were out for lunch and a movie, the reports said. A baby sitter was caring for two children. Police say Perez returned home and mentioned personal marijuana use to the search team of officers. Perez, 27, and his 29-year-old wife were charged in a complaint filed Friday with misdemeanour drug possession involving just over one-third of a pound of marijuana, suburban Rocky River police said. The two havent commented, but their attorney said they would plead not guilty. "We ask that people not rush to judgment. We are confident of a favourable outcome," lawyer Terry Gilbert said in a statement on their behalf. Perez and his wife were released on personal bond. "Clearly we take these matters seriously and are disappointed whenever there is any negative attention brought to the Indians organization or one of our players," team general manager Chris Antonetti said in a statement. "We understand and respect that there is an ongoing legal process that we will allow to evolve." Manager Terry Francona had little to say about the matter before Clevelands game at Detroit on Friday night. "Hes got some friends that care about him, which makes sense, and Ive spoken to him a couple times," Francona said. "But out of respect to the situation and the process, were really not allowed to talk about it." Under the drug agreement between Major League Baseball and its players association, marijuana offences generally result with the player undergoing a treatment program rather than discipline. Questioned when investigators returned to the house hours after the delivery, Melanie Perez told them that she doesnt smoke marijuana but that her husband "had drug paraphernalia" in the house. Asked whether the marijuana shipment was intended for her husband, Melanie Perez responded, "What did Chris say?" according to the investigative report. The packages smelled of marijuana and had a Los Angeles return address with a name that wasnt associated with that location, postal inspectors said. Dan Chaplin, a Cleveland defence attorney not connected with the case, compared the charge to a traffic ticket and said a conviction likely would be punished with a fine. Perez has six saves this season but is on the disabled list with an injured right shoulder. Francona was asked how his recovery is going. "You know what? He was at the ballpark -- actually, through all this, I forgot to even ask," Francona said. "Through all of this, I didnt even ask, and I need to." Perez, an often-polarizing figure, and Cleveland fans have gotten on each others nerves over the past couple of years. He recently deactivated his Twitter account after criticism from fans following a couple of bad outings. In previous seasons, Perez has lashed out at fans for not coming to games, and at owners for not spending money on free agents.

Northern California Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player Matthew Xzax Liberatore has joined multi-game esports organization Team RivaL as its first-ever fighting game player.The move comes after Xzax parted ways with former team Enemy at the end of October and began looking for a new home. After speaking with several teams, Xzax came to terms for a deal -- which have not been disclosed -- with Team RivaL.Being involved in the FGC and Smash in particular is something that we have been looking into for awhile now simply because of how unique the scene is and how those involved in it are some of the most die hard fans in all of competitive gaming, Team RivaL co-founder Tyler West tells ESPN. One of the main things we were looking for was not only a player that could compete at a high level but also one that would be able to represent RivaL as an active member in the community that will assist us at RivaL in making a push to produce consistent and quality competitive gaming content, which we believe we have found with Xzax.ddddddddddddPrior to expanding to Smash, RivaL had teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Smite and World of Tanks. RivaL tells ESPN that if they find success with Xzax, the team will pursue other acquisitions in both Smash and other fighting games.If things go as well as we plan with this investment into Smash and Xzax, I can only seeing our interest in fighting games growing, West says.Xzax is currently ranked 39th on the Panda Global Super Smash Bros. for Wii U rankings, which were released in May 2016. While Xzax did not attend the Evolution Championship Series, Community Effort Orlando, or Super Smash Con, hes taken ninth at both LVL UP EXPO 2016 and 2GGT: Mexico Saga, as well as fifth at 2GGT: Fresh Saga. His only major event of the year, Genesis 3, saw him take 17th. ' ' '
