SPORTS BRIEFS • Washington Nationals hire Matt Williams as manager WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Williams will make his debut as a major league manager with the Washington Nationals, a hiring announced by Mike Rizzo on Thursday, one day after the World Series ended. The Nationals will hold a news conference to introduce Williams at their stadium on Friday. He replaces the retired Davey Johnson, who won the NL Manager of the Year award for leading Washington to a majors-leading 98 wins and the NL East title in 2012, then announced before this season that 2013 would be it for him in the Nationals’ dugout. After entering the season with sky-high expectations — and, famously, Johnson’s “World Series or bust” declaration — the Nationals missed the playoffs, going 86-76 and finishing 10 games out of first place in the division. The 47-year-old Williams was the third-base coach for the Diamondbacks the past three seasons. He has only brief managerial experience at any level, having spent some time in the Arizona Fall League and five weeks as a midseason fill-in at Double-A in the minors.
Alexi Emelin signs 4-year deal with Canadiens MONTREAL (AP) — Hard-hitting defenseman Alexei Emelin has signed a four-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. The deal is reportedly worth $16.4 million and takes effect in the 2014-15 season. The 27-year-old Russian has yet to play this season because of a knee injury. He is earning $2 million this season. General manager Marc Bergevin said Thursday that Emelin is an “important part of our group of core players” and “can play big minutes against the opponents’ best players.” Emelin was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. He tore a knee ligament April 6 and is expected back in late November or early December.
Kevin Seitzer hired as hitting coach of Blue Jays TORONTO (AP) — Former All-Star third baseman Kevin Seitzer has been hired as hitting coach of the Toronto Blue Jays. Seitzer replaces Chad Mottola, who got the job after the 2012 season when Dwayne Murphy moved from hitting coach to first-base coach. The 51-year-old Seitzer was hitting coach for Arizona during the first half of the 2007 season and for Kansas City from 2009-12. He had a .295 average with 74 home runs and 613 RBIs for the Royals, Milwaukee, Oakland and Cleveland in 12 major league seasons. Toronto, which announced the hiring Thursday, was 73-89 this season and was 15th in the major leagues with a a .252 batting average. The Blue Jays said Oct. 7 that Mottola and Murphy will not return for 2014.

Royals exercise option on Shields for 2014 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals exercised their $13.5 million option on right-hander James Shields on Thursday after he anchored one of the league’s best starting rotations last season. Shields, acquired last offseason in a trade from Tampa Bay, went 13-9 with a 3.15 ERA and an AL-leading 228 2-3 innings. Shields was especially strong after the All-Star break, going 9-3 with a 3.06 ERA to help the Royals get into playoff contention. Kansas City went 43-27 after the break to finish 86-76, its best record since 1989. Shields won the Joe Burke Special Achievement Awarded presented by the Kansas City chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
Rangers decline $12M contract option for Berkman ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers have declined their $12 million contract option for Lance Berkman, making the 37-year-old switchhitter a free agent. Berkman gets a $1 million buyout for the second year of the deal signed in January. Berkman hit .242 with six home runs and 34 RBIs in 73 games this season. He went on the disabled list July 7 with a left inflammation and a sore right knee, and played only five games after coming back the final month of the season. The six-time All-Star played only 32 games for St. Louis in 2012, when he dealt with a strained left calf and had two operations on his right knee. He hit .301 in 2011 for the Cardinals, who won the World Series that season over Texas.
Padres trade Hynes to Indians SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres have traded left-hander Colt Hynes to the Cleveland Indians for cash considerations.
