TORONTO -- Toronto FC rewarded goalkeeper Joe Bendik with a new deal Tuesday while dealing former starter Stefan Frei to the Seattle Sounders. Frei, Torontos longest-serving player, lost his job to injury in 2012 and the fine play of Bendik this season. His US$200,000 contract expired at the end of the season but Toronto retained his rights though Thursdays first stage of the MLS re-entry process. Frei signed a new contract with Seattle shortly after the trade. "Joe had an opportunity to step in and prove himself this season and he did so in a big way," Toronto GM Tim Bezbatchenko said in a statement. Hes still a relatively young keeper who showed he has the ability and mentality to handle a full season of MLS play. "We are excited to watch him continue to develop his skills and be a leader on our re-shaped roster next season. We are confident that we have addressed our goalkeeper situation for the upcoming season, while adding increased roster and cap flexibility in the process." Toronto, meanwhile, may be close to landing a new designated player. Brazilian Gilberto was said to be at the Toronto Raptors game Tuesday night. Bendik, 24, started 33 games for Toronto in 2013, finishing with a 6-16-11 record and four shutouts. His salary was listed at US$46,500. Prior to being acquired by Toronto FC, he made five appearances and started in three games for Portland during the 2012 season. Frei, 27, is Torontos all-time leader in appearances across all competitions (99). He has a 1.54 goals-against average in 82 regular-season starts. "Stefan is a goalkeeper we have liked for a number of years," Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid said in a statement Tuesday. "He is a quality professional who brings experience and leadership to the position. Adding Stefan at this point of his career was very attractive to us." Toronto receives a conditional 2015 first-round MLS SuperDraft pick from Seattle. The Sounders currently have 41-year-old Marcus Hahnemann and 26-year-old Josh Ford as goalies on their roster. "Parting with a player of Stefans calibre and character is always difficult, but as we move forward with our re-shaping of the club, it is important that we have increased flexibility to make additional moves. This trade provides us with that flexibility," said Bezbatchenko. "Stefan is a great player and an even better person who will always hold a special place in the clubs history. We wish him all the best as he moves on to the next stage of his career." Toronto also has goalkeepers Chris Konopka and Quillan Roberts on its roster. On Monday, Toronto acquired Brazilian midfielder Jackson from FC Dallas in exchange for a conditional second-round pick in the 2015 draft and allocation money.

The next game we play is going to be a lot different.The Dodgers open the NL division series at home Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals, who knocked them out in the league championship series last season.Theyve been a thorn in our side the last couple years, Mattingly said. Its kind of turning into a pretty good rivalry.The Dodgers 94 wins were their most since going 95-67 in 2009. They ended the regular season without a losing streak longer than three games, something only their 1924 and 1988 clubs had done.Zack Greinke (17-8) set a career high for wins and remained unbeaten in his last eight starts, going 5-0 with a 2.34 ERA since Aug. 15. He allowed one run and four hits in five innings, struck out six and walked one while finishing 12-0 with a 1.74 ERA in 15 starts against NL West opponents.I felt good, he said. I used all the pitches; they all had some crispness to them. I didnt give up too many hard-hit balls, so that was the goal.Clayton Kershaw acted as pitching coach in place of Rick Honeycutt. Before the game, Kershaw threw 32 pitches in two simulated innings in an effort to limit rustiness over the nine days between his scheduled starts. He will take the mound in the playoff opener after becoming the first pitcher to lead the major leagues in ERA in four consecutive years at 1.77.He was kind of half doing his job, Greinke said of Kershaw, while giving props to third baseman Juan Uribe, who served as manager. Juan was more intense doing his job.Uribe started out wearing Mattinglys name and number on his jersey. He later changed to a jersey with Hall of Fame manager Tom Lasordas name on it.Easy game today, said Uribe, who got a cooler full of a blue sports drink tossed on him by Kemp before a postgame rally on the field.He did great. We won, right? Mattingly said of Uribe. He had them playing hard and got them to do what he wanted.Lasorda took the mic during the rally and sshowed he could still muster some bombast after turning 87 earlier in the week.ddddddddddddI think were going to get to the Fall Classic, he told the crowd. Then the big Dodger in the sky can take me away.Colorados Justin Morneau won the NL batting title, finishing at .319 after he grounded out as a pinch hitter in the eighth. Its the lowest average for a batting champion since the late Tony Gwynn hit .313 for San Diego in 1988.Im most proud that I was consistent all season, Morneau said. Sometimes you get hot for a while and hit .450, but I think I was consistent all season and I focus and concentrated on that.Morneau edged Pittsburghs Josh Harrison, who was hitless in four at-bats Sunday and slipped three points to close at .315.It was the Rockies second straight batting title and ninth in 22 years; Michael Cuddyer led the NL last season at .331. Morneau finished the season two hits shy of 1,500 for his career, although his 160 hits are his most since he had 187 in 2008.Gonzalez finished three RBIs short of his career high, set in 2008. His 27th homer helped power a 16-hit attack and extended the Dodgers lead to 5-1 in the third. It scored Darwin Barney who singled and Yasiel Puig, who reached on an error by shortstop Josh Rutledge.Kemps 25th homer into the left-field pavilion with two outs in the first gave Los Angeles a 2-0 lead and scored Gonzalez, who doubled.Theyve been a force together, Mattingly said.Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon, who didnt play, finished as the major league stolen base leader with 64.Rookie Christian Bergman (3-5) gave up eight runs a€” seven earned a€” and 11 hits in 5 1-3 innings.FIRST HITDefensive replacement Roger Bernadina collected his first hit in nine games with the Dodgers.
