OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — The World Series champion Chicago Cubs have acquired star closer Wade Davis from the Kansas City Royals for outfielder Jorge Soler. The trade was announced Wednesday at the winter meetings. Davis will take over the ninth-inning role held by Aroldis Chapman, who became a free agent after the Cubs won their first championship since 1908.

The 31-year-old Davis went 2-1 with 27 saves in 30 tries and a 1.87 ERA last season. He spent time on the disabled with a forearm injury and was limited to 43 1/3 innings, but returned to pitch in September. Davis has done especially well in the postseason and helped the Royals win the 2015 crown. In 27 1/3 postseason innings as a reliever, he has a 0.33 ERA with 39 strikeouts.

The 24-year-old Soler hit .238 with 12 home runs and 31 RBIs in 86 games last season. He missed almost two months because of a strained left hamstring.

Oklahoma has seven first-team selections on The Associated Press All-Big 12 team after winning its 10th league title.

Iowa State Senior Kicker Cole Netten was selected to the First Team Offense.

An Iowa City company is keeping busy as Hawkeye football fans book their trips to the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Winebrenner Red Carpet Travel works with the University of Iowa’s Alumni Association to help people get to bowl games. General manager Terry Tegen told KCRG-TV that travelers who plan to fly to Tampa need to book their trips now “Do it quick, because we watch for scheduled air and it is selling out quickly,” Tegen said. “You have to get your package booked real fast, because otherwise there is no air transportation.”

Winebrenner Red Carpet Travel offers two different packages. The first is a three night deal that costs $1,995, and the other is a four night stay that costs $2,095. The company sold out of the most expensive option on Monday and Tegen expects the three night option will sell out today (Tuesday). The Iowa Hawkeyes will meet the Florida Gators in the Outback Bowl on January 2, with the kickoff at noon (Iowa time).

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Cordell Pemsl muscled in 21 points Monday night as Iowa snapped a four-game losing streak with a 95-68 victory over Stetson. Isaiah Moss, a redshirt freshman, pumped in five 3-pointers and also scored 21 points for Iowa (4-5). Peter Jok collected 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Hawkeyes.

Leo Goodman led Stetson (4-6) with 14 points. The Hawkeyes got off to a fast start and had a 14-2 lead a little more than four minutes in. Iowa led 44-28 at halftime and raised the margin to 30 points at 90-60 on another 3-pointer by Moss, who finished with a career high in 3-pointers and points.

Iowa had surrendered 100, 92 and 98 points in its last three games, including a stunning 98-89 loss to Nebraska-Omaha, but the Hawkeyes played a much tighter game against the visitors from Florida.
