SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres think so much of second baseman Jedd Gyorko that they gave him a hefty raise and hes only 13 games into his second full big league season. Gyorkos agreement, announced Monday, is a six-year deal that adds $35 million over five seasons through 2019. It replaces a one-year deal agreed to last month and includes a team option for 2020. San Diego essentially buys out one year of free agency and possibly two. "These contracts make a lot of sense for both sides," general manager Josh Byrnes said. "In this case we potentially buy out two years of free agency. Its rare to do it so early, but Jedd, I think, he answered all the criteria you look at. First of all, character. This guy is a baseball player. I think hes going to be a part of us establishing the kind of winning tradition we want to have here. Hes always hit and hes handled things that have been thrown at him." Gyorko proved himself with a big rookie season, hitting .249 with 23 home runs and 63 RBIs. "I wanted to be a Padre," Gyorko said. "When they came to me and kind of showed the vision of what they have looking forward, its something I want to be a part of. Be a part of a championship team. I think thats what were going to be, hopefully soon, if not, definitely by the end of my contract." Gyorkos previous deal called for $510,900 this year in the major leagues and $294,000 in the minors. The new contract eliminates the lower minor league pay and adds salaries of $2 million in 2015, $4 million in 2016, $6 million in 2017, $9 million in 2018 and $13 million in 2019. San Diegos 2020 club option is at $13 million with a $1 million buyout. The option can escalate a maximum of $2 million, and the buyout can escalate by up to $750,000, based on All-Star appearances and Top 10 MVP finishes by Gyorko between 2014 and 2019. He also gets a suite on the road. "Its good to have the possibility and potential to pencil Jedd into the lineup for a long time," manager Bud Black said. Gyorko, 25, was a second-round pick out of West Virginia in the 2010 amateur draft. While the Padres like Gyorko at second base, he played third base in the minor leagues and could move back to that position if Chase Headley leaves via free agency at the end of the season. Gyorko said hell play wherever the team wants him. "I think he adjusted very well and people didnt realize how good hed be there, so now its a matter of maintaining that level," Byrnes said. "You never know how our rosters going to shape up. We like him at second base. We like the competitive advantage of a second baseman who gives us this much offence. That was part of the attraction on the front end, and for now, Id say thats the way we want it to end up as we go through the contract." "Its a big commitment, but I think Jedd is worth it," Byrnes said. "When you place it through the age 30, 31 view, its a risk we felt was worth taking." The deal was negotiated by agents Sam and Seth Levinson. AP Sports Writer Ronald Blum in New York contributed to this report.

This is only for you. You can have two if you like, he quipped during his pre-tournament performance, a repeat of his press conference before the 2014 Australian Open. This is not bribery, just good spirits. A little delight. Why not!Of course, chocolates arent the only tradition the top-ranked tennis star wants to restore.Djokovic is vying for his fifth Australian Open title, an accomplishment that would raise his overall number of Grand Slam trophies to eight.The 27-year-old who became a new father in October arrived in Australia feeling ill and cancelled a practice session Saturday, raising concerns about his fitness for the seasons first Grand Slam. But Sunday he was back on the court for a training session, hitting hard and moving well around the court, and said he was feeling better.I had a tough couple of days. But its all behind me now. Im ready for the Open, he said, adding hed picked up a virus in the Middle East where he played matches recently in Abu Dhabi and Doha, Qatar. (It was) a little bit of flu and stomach, he said. But now its good, its passed.Djokovic is coming off of a strong season that included winning his second Wimbledon title, a return to No. 1 in the rankings and a few personal milestones. A few days after winning Wimbledon in July, Djokovic married his longtime girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, and the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in October.But after a good off-season, his focus is now on work.Djokovic is scheduled to play his first-round match Tuesday against Slovenian qualifier Aljaz Bedene.As the tennis season gets underway, the big topic of conversation is whether the Old Guard of champions will continue to dominate — No. 2 Roger Federer, No.dddddddddddd 3 Rafael Nadal and Djokovic — who have shared most of the Grand Slam trophies of the past decade. Or if the new generation of occasional winners will make more headway.Stan Wawrinka, who for years was known as the other Swiss star, won the Australian Open last year but doesnt want to dwell on that.I have a lot of memories. Theyre incredible memories, Wawrinka said Sunday, during a news conference conducted in English and French. But its 2015, were all starting from zero. Everyone wants to win.Wawrinka begins his title defence against Marsel Ilhan of Turkey. He could meet U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori in the quarterfinals before a potential semifinal against Djokovic. Marin Cilic who won the U.S. Open wont play in Melbourne because of a right shoulder injury.Federer, Murray and Nadal are on the other half of the draw and are scheduled to play Monday.Federers place in history is still taking shape.The Swiss star has 17 Grand Slam titles and is a strong contender for his 18th in Melbourne. He opened his season by winning the Brisbane International and recording his 1,000th career match win with victory over Milos Raonic, another upcoming star, in the Jan. 11 final.Asked how close he felt to his top form, Federer said he thinks he might be improving with age.I am 33, so things are a bit different today than they were 10 years ago, he said about his training and fitness routines. But he said his game feels strong after a few tweaks he made last year including playing with a new racket and a new coach, six-time major winner Stefan Edberg, who has honed Federers attacking game.Federer will play Lu Yen-hsun of Taiwan in the first round and could meet sixth-seeded Murray in the quarterfinals. Murray plays a qualifier, Yuki Bhambri, in the first round.The biggest question mark through the opening week, at least, will be Nadals fitness after he spent three months out with a right wrist injury after Wimbledon, and later had appendix surgery.Nadal himself is not optimistic.I dont consider myself one of the favourites here, Nadal said. He defers this time around to the other usual suspects: Djokovic a fantastic player, Roger the same story or Murray — hes playing well, said Nadal. Well see. ' ' '
