Indians trade minor-leaguer for cash

CLEVELAND

The Indians have traded right-hander Asher Wojciechowski to the Baltimore Orioles for cash.

The 30-year-old went 8-2 with a 3.61 ERA in 15 starts this season for Triple-A Columbus. The Orioles said Monday that he’s been assigned to Norfolk, their Triple-A affiliate.

Wojciechowski signed a minor league contract as a free agent with Cleveland in February. He was assigned to the Clippers during spring training. Because of Cleveland’s pitching depth, it was going to be tough for Wojciechowski to make his way to the majors.

Wojciechowski was drafted in 2010 by Toronto. He’s pitched in 30 career major league games.

Ex-MVP Rypien arrested for assault

SPOKANE, Wash.

Former Super Bowl hero Mark Rypien has been arrested in Washington state on suspicion of domestic violence against his wife.

The Spokesman-Review cited Spokane police saying Rypien, 56, was facing a charge of fourth-degree assault.

Rypien was taken to the Spokane County Jail on Sunday afternoon after his arrest near a bank on the north side of the city. It was not immediately known if he has an attorney.

There was no answer Monday morning at the Spokane offices of the Rypien Foundation, which battles childhood cancer.

Rypien announced last year he believes he has Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, caused by repeated concussions while playing in the NFL. He believes this condition has caused him to have erratic and violent behavior.

Rypien said that in the past he has attempted suicide, hired prostitutes and suffers from persistent depression and anxiety.

He was a lead plaintiff among 4,500 former players who won a settlement related to CTE in 2013.

He was MVP of Super Bowl XXVI after the 1991 season for the Washington Redskins.

Dortmund signs U.S. teenager

DORTMUND, Germany

Borussia Dortmund has agreed to sign former United States international Claudio Reyna’s son, Giovanni Reyna, from New York City FC for its under-19 side.

The Bundesliga club says the 16-year-old Reyna, a midfielder, will move on a free transfer, subject to approval from FIFA as the player is still considered a minor.

Dortmund has also agreed to sign the 16-year-old Bradley Fink, a tall center forward, from FC Luzern on a free transfer for its under-17 side.

Dortmund youth coordinator Lars Ricken says Reyna is “without doubt a huge talent,” while Fink “has fantastic ability and recently scored 40 goals in just 21 games for Luzern’s under-16s. Numerous big clubs in Europe wanted to sign these two players.”

Dortmund is also awaiting final FIFA approval to sign Fink.
