ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals signed free-agent second baseman Mark Ellis to a one-year, $5.25 million contract, giving them insurance for rookie Kolten Wong. In a conference call after the deal was announced Monday, the 36-year-old Ellis said he had some multiyear offers but chose the Cardinals because he wants to win a World Series. Ellis played for the Dodgers in the NL championship series last fall against St. Louis, which won the Series in 2011 and lost in six games to the Red Sox in 2013. "I am fully fine with one-year deals at this point in my career," Ellis said. "There were some good opportunities, very good teams and very good organizations. I felt like this was the perfect place for myself and my family." The contract calls for an additional $125,000 at 250 plate appearances and for every 25 plate appearances after that up to 475 plate appearances. "Nothing was promised," Ellis said. "Ive pretty much been an everyday player my whole career. Im going to prepare this off-season like Im going to play 162 games." Ellis is a lifetime .265 hitter for three teams. He hit .270 with six home runs and 48 RBIs for the Dodgers last season, and is considered a strong defensive second baseman. Hes had only spot duty at other infield positions during his career, but was open to that option, noting he played third base two years in college and was a shortstop growing up. "Im not so stubborn I have a huge ego that I have to be the second baseman," Ellis said. "I dont care. I want to do whatever it takes to win a World Series." Wong, a first-round pick in 2011, made his major league debut last year and is expected to get the starting shot at second base in 2014. Matt Carpenter moves to third base following the trade of David Freese to the Angels and Ellis provides a right-handed hitting option, plus hes open to a mentor role. Before learning of Carpenters position switch, Ellis hadnt thought the Cardinals would be a good fit. "Mark is a player we identified early-on as being an ideal fit for our team," general manager John Mozeliak said in a statement. "His experience and steadiness, both in the field and at the plate, certainly enhances our overall roster makeup." Ellis has appeared in 22 post-season games and batted .240 in the NLCS last fall with a double, triple and stolen base. Ellis has hit 20 or more doubles nine of the past 10 years and is a career .276 hitter with a .348 on-base percentage against left-handed pitching. He was a ninth round pick of the Kansas City Royals in 1999. Guillermo Heredia Rays Jersey . - Jordan Addesis shootout goal helped the Plymouth Whalers to a 3-2 win over the Sault Ste.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. Tissot collected his first career goal in the 87th minute of the match to help lift the visiting Impact to a 2-2 tie with the Chicago Fire. Tissot, who had appeared in just two matches entering Saturday, scored on a short header in a flurry in front of the Fire goal late in the Major League Soccer clash at Toyota Park. The tie gave Montreal (13-9-7, 46 points) a valuable road point as it remains in third place in MLS tight Eastern Conference playoff race. "If I can have three points, thats better," Impact coach Marco Schallibaum said. "(But) when you see the game and youre behind 2-1 and you come back to get the (tie) Im happy." The deadlock snapped the Impacts two-game losing streak while Chicago (11-12-7, 40 points) fell to seventh place, two points out of the fifth and final conference playoff berth. Chicago forward Mike Magee scored in the 57th minute as he slipped through two defenders and skipped a short shot past Impact goalkeeper Troy Perkins to tie it at 1-1. He struck again in the 73rd minute when Perkins tried to clear the ball. Magee aggressively challenged Perkins, picked up the loose ball and hit the back of the net ffor his 18th goal of the season.dddddddddddd Magee just missed a hat trick when a penalty kick in the 79th minute hit the left post. "Thats a situation where Ive got to put that away for the team," Magee said. "Thats a big goal. ... It wasnt my time." MLS scoring leader Marco Di Vaio gave the Impact a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute when he slipped between two Fire defenders and launched a 12-yard shot past Chicago goalkeeper Sean Johnson. The goal was Di Vaios 19th of the season and third career strike against Chicago. "The second half we didnt have so much energy as in the first half and that comes from more pressure from Chicago," Schallibaum said. "They made it 1-1 and then the second (goal) was a present on our part. But we didnt give up." Impact midfielder Felipe Martins -- the teams No. 2 scorer with five goals -- sat out due to excessive caution accumulations. Fire defender Bakary Soumare was out due to a red card issued last Saturday at Columbus. Consecutive losses at Stade Saputo to Columbus and Vancouver left the Impact still in the playoff picture but not as the MLS Eastern Conference leaders the Impact were a few weeks ago. The Impact, who have five regular season games remaining, travel to Houston on Friday and return home to host New England on Oct. 12. ' ' '
