WRESTLING By RICH GREENE DN Sports Editor CORNING — From a purely visual point of view wrestlers are by themselves when they take to the mat, but Car- dinals coach Cort Mitchell constantly preaches the sport he loves so much is actual- ly team-oriented. It was hard to argue against that logic, Sat- urday, at the Northern Athletic League cham- pionships as the Cardi- nal wrestlers each with their own individual story were also impact- ed by that of a team- mate. Nate Fultz made it three league titles in three tries, Daniel Wel- born got his season back on track by claim- ing the 170-pound title and Noah Hall earned his first individual league championship as all three wrestlers com- peted with heavy hearts. In the stands sat someone, who more than likely was to be a fourth champion. Erik Miranda, the Cardinals captain, suffered a dis- located shoulder earlier in the week ending a Cespedes agrees to $36M, 4-year deal with Athletics and Trevor Cahill and also All-Star closer Andrew Bailey. OAKLAND (AP) — After a winter of rebuilding, the Oakland Athletics were the surprise winner for Cuban defector Yoenis Ces- pedes. Cespedes and the A's have agreed to a $36 million, four-year contract — quite a splash for the low-budget franchise that traded away several key faces this offsea- son. 7 p.m. Agent Adam Katz confirmed Monday the slugging outfielder had reached agreement on a deal, with details still to be finalized. This is a significant move for Oakland, which wanted to add a steady hitter. Cespedes will earn $6.5 million 6 p.m. this year, $8.5 million in 2013 and $10.5 million in each of the final two seasons. He can become a free agent at the end of the contract, which is the highest for a Cuban defector. Cespedes' deal tops Jose Contreras' $32 million, four-year contract with the Yankees before the 2003 season. The A's expect Cespedes to secure his P1 visa in the next couple of weeks, travel to the team's Ari- zona spring training site to take his physical and be ready to start train- ing shortly thereafter. The team also still has interest in slugger Manny Ramirez. The A's, hoping to be given clearance from Major League Baseball to relocate to San Jose and construct a new ballpark, have been in rebuilding mode this offseason. Oakland trad- ed starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez Cespedes toured the Miami Marlins' new downtown ballpark last Wednesday, and appeared to have other suitors, as well. In a sur- prising move, it was the A's who made a splash and outbid some big- spending clubs. ''You don't land everybody you want to land. But I think we've been aggressive,'' Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. ''We're really happy with the way the club looks. You always have a sense of disappointment when you're trying to either trade for or sign a player. It's not the first time and won't be the last. We would certainly wish him well.'' Cespedes played for Cuba in the 2009 World Baseball Classic and is projected to be ready for the majors. Cespedes said six teams were inter- ested in signing him: the Marlins, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland and the Chicago Cubs and White Sox. Major League Baseball said Monday it has been told by Ces- pedes' agent that he has obtained an unblocking license from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control — another key step to him signing. In January, Cespedes' represen- tatives announced he had estab- lished legal residency in the Dominican Republic, the final hur- dle to him becoming a free agent. MLB then had to receive proof of residency before clubs were noti- fied of his status as a free agent. Yahoo! Sports first reported the agreement. Pavelski leads Sharks WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Follow us on Twitter: @TehamaSports Pavelski had two goals and two assists against a goalie playing in the NHL for the first time in nearly a year, leading the Sharks past the Capitals 5-3 Monday night, San Jose's 16th victory in its last 17 games against Wash- ington. Patrick Marleau, Ryane Clowe and Brent Burns also scored on Braden Holtby, who was brought up from Hershey of the American Hockey League earlier Monday to make a sur- prise start for Washington — something he hadn't done since last March. Washington's No. 1 goalie, Tomas Vokoun, was ill, and No. 2 Michal Neuvirth played Sunday in a loss at the New York Rangers. Joe Thornton collected three assists for the Pacific Division- leading Sharks, and Thomas Greiss made 39 saves.

When discussing the injury, Mitchell said it had cost him plenty of hours of sleep through- out the week. "It just hurt every- one," Welborn said of Miranda's injury.

What couldn't have been hypothesized by anyone until after the conclusion of the meet was how convinc- ing the Bobcats were in stay- ing atop the EAL South divi- sion. Paradise won seven of nine finals matchups, claimed 207 points — 64 more than anybody else — and notched its second straight league champi- onship Saturday afternoon at Oroville High. Oroville finished runner- up with 143 points, while Red Bluff, Lassen and Las Plumas rounded out third, fourth and fifth place respec- tively. The Spartans, howev- er, were the only other team besides Paradise and Oroville with more than 100 points. The Spartans produced a pair of individual champions in Kyle Case at 147 pounds and 172-pounder Bryce Eggert. Case beat Lassen's Alex McConnell with a 14-6 major decision.
