SAINT-DENIS, France -- Portugal defender Pepe is fit and ready for another duel with Frances top forward Antoine Griezmann on the European Championship final on Sunday.I feel great. Im fully fit and can be chosen to play, Pepe said at a news conference on Saturday at the Stade de France.The tough Real Madrid defender sat out a 2-0 win in the semifinals against Wales because of a thigh muscle injury.The decision paid off for coach Fernando Santos not to risk his defensive leader against a Welsh attack that lacked the options France possesses.Griezmann is the clearest danger to Portugal, with his six-goal tally at Euro 2016 double that of any player, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who has three.Pepe and Ronaldo already got the better of Griezmann in a major final six weeks ago, when their Real Madrid team beat city rival Atletico in the Champions League final. Ronaldo scored the decisive penalty in a shootout after a 1-1 draw, and Griezmann missed a spot-kick when Atletico trailed 1-0 in the second half.Ive played against Griezmann several times in Spain, Pepe said through a translator. Hes not very tall, but hes very good at figuring out where the ball might be. Its important not to focus on one player, but France as a team.Though Pepe has two Champions League titles with Madrid, he acknowledged that Sundays game is the most important of his career.Yes, because Im representing my people, my country. We want to write our names in history, the 33-year-old defender said.Portugal seemed far away from the final when failing to win a group-stage game, and trailed three times against Hungary before salvaging a third straight draw.Santos then began selecting Southampton defenders Jose Fonte and Cedric Soares, leaving Pepe to lead a reshaped line that helped Portugal win tightly-contested knockout games against Croatia and Poland.This rugged, hard-to-beat style recalls Greeces surprise run to win Euro 2004 and beat the more attacking host Portuguese team in the final. Now Portugal is in a reversed role against a more flamboyant French side.I would like that, Pepe said when asked if history could repeat itself. That would be amazing but one thing has nothing to do with another. Twelve years have gone by and tomorrow is a totally different thing.Pepe has seemed on his best behavior at Euro 2016, cutting out the hard fouls that helped make his reputation and the play-acting simulation that angered many watchers of the recent Champions League final.The referee that May night in Milan, Mark Clattenburg of England, will have the whistle again on Sunday.I think this referee may be among the best two or three referees in the world, Pepe said. Its recognition of his work and his quality as a professional referee. I hope everyone has an easy night and that they can work peacefully. Braves Jerseys 2020 .

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Red Sox might replace retiring designated hitter David Ortiz internally or with a short-term free agent, rather than pursue one of the prominent long-term options on the market, Bostons president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski told reporters at the MLB general managers meetings on Monday.Ortiz, a 10-time All-Star, hit 38 home runs, drove in 127 runs and led the major leagues with an OPS of 1.021 in the final season of a 20-year career. He won the Hank Aaron Award as the American Leagues best hitter this season.Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Bautista and Mark Trumbo are among the top power hitters available on the free-agent market. But they are all expected to seek multiyear deals, and Dombrowski said the Red Sox might take a more modest approach to filling their DH spot.Im not sure if were going to do it internally with a lot of the people we have or go outside the organization, Dombrowski said. We know we can never replace [Ortizs] presence. But we have a lot of guys who can play different positions. We have young guys coming that we like a great deal, so well just kind of have to wait to see what happens there.There are a lot of different factors. One is affordability, but not only that. How long do you want to tie somebody up for that position when we have a lot of young players coming? Thats a very important part of it.First baseman Hanley Ramirez is under contract through 2018 and has a vesting option for 2019, and Pablo Sandoval is expected to return from a shoulder injury and be back in the mix for the starting third-base job next season. With Travis Shaw capable of playing both cornerr infield positions, the Red Sox have some flexibility to use both Ramirez and Sandoval at DH.ddddddddddddIf the Red Sox decide to pursue a free agent on a shorter deal, switch-hitters?Kendrys Morales and?Carlos Beltran are potential options. The Red Sox reportedly inquired about Beltran at the trade deadline in July, before the New York Yankees dealt him to the Texas Rangers. Beltran, 39, hit .295 with 29 homers and an .850 OPS in 151 games with the Yankees and Rangers in 2016.Dombrowski mentioned Yoan Moncada, Sam Travis and Rafael Devers as prospects who might not be far from having an impact with the big league club.Moncada, 21, is ranked among the elite prospects in baseball. He posted a .918 OPS in two minor league stops to earn a September call-up to Boston. But Dombrowski expects him to return to the minors to begin the 2017 season.In July, we would have said we thought he would be ready for the big leagues this year, Dombrowski said of Moncada. We still love his abilities, but we all saw the same thing as far as the exposure to a steady diet of off-speed pitches and breaking balls and changeups. I think he would be able to play third base well enough with a month of spring training, and he does have versatility. But right now, his bat probably needs some seasoning at the minor league level.I cant rule him out, because Ive seen some very talented individuals like him come on very quickly. But if we are starting the season tomorrow, he would probably start at the minor league level. ' ' '
