Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Eric Hosmer ? PEORIA  Ariz. (AP) — Just the thought of  free agent first baseman Eric Hosmer  joining the downtrodden  youthful San Diego Padres sent a morning jolt through the spring training clubhouse.
 Hosmer  reached a preliminary agreement on an eight-year contract with the Padres  pending a physical. A person with direct knowledge of the deal confirmed the tentative deal  speaking on the condition of anonymity Sunday because there had been no formal announcement of  Hosmer 's potential signing.
It would become official once he passes a physical early in the week. While the final position players reported Sunday — most were already in spring camp — ahead of Monday's first full-squad workout   Hosmer  wasn't expected in the desert until at least Monday.
 Hosmer  who spent his first seven major league seasons with Kansas City   would receive a reported $144 million.
Padres manager Andy Green could only discuss the acquisition of  Hosmer  in generalities since it isn't final  but was hopeful of having his full team together Monday.

He hadn't been in touch with  Hosmer  in recent days but they did communicate earlier in the winter when Young chose San Diego and discussed that it was among  Hosmer 's top choices  too. Young said he didn't want to add any pressure to  Hosmer  making a decision.
Green knows what someone such as  Hosmer  could mean to a club's chances of turning  it  around .
"It was always time to start contending for  me  " said Green  beginning his third season as San Diego skipper. "It was always go out and win opening day and go out and win every game. I haven't been very good at that  I have to acknowledge that. At this point in time  opening day has been cruel to  me  so far.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joe Cox ? For army veterans Joe Cox  Russ Collins and Adam Lingo  the journey to the Washington Redskinsâ FedExField and Sundayâs âSalute to Serviceâ game began nine years ago when their fellow soldiers and teenage Iraqi translator âRoyâ died as brothers in Sinsil  Iraq after a house rigged with explosives collapsed.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Philip Scott Fournier ? Philip Scott Fournier  was charged in 2016 with killing 16-year-old Joyce McLain in East Millinocket in 1980. Superior Court Justice Ann Murray issued the verdict in a packed Bangor courtroom.
A defense lawyer said during final arguments earlier this month that "doubts will linger" over the case regardless whether  Fournier  was convicted. The defense also argued that  Fournier 's memories  which were central to the prosecution's case  were unreliable.
There was no physical evidence tying  Fournier  to the crime scene  which  his  attorney  Jeffrey Silverstein  has called unusual for a murder case. But prosecutors said  he  confessed numerous times over the years  and Murray said Thursday that she considered the confessions to be genuine.
 Fournier  was a person of interest in the case almost from the beginning. The case and trial were complicated by the fact that hours after McLain was last seen   Fournier  stole and crashed a fuel truck  suffering a serious head injury.
 His  defense has contended that  Fournier 's head injury affected  his  memory and played a role in the inconsistency of  his  many statements about McLain's death over the years. Murray asserted that  Fournier  had recovered from the injury after several months.
 Fournier  waived  his  right to a jury trial  leaving Murray to make the decision. Sentencing was not immediately scheduled.
