SSG Landers sign ex-MLB pitcher Richardson

The SSG Landers announced their signing of former major league pitcher Lyon Richardson on Thursday. The Landers said Richardson, 26, agreed to a one-year contract worth $1 million, which includes a signing bonus of $100,000.

"After a disappointing start to the season, the club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions," United said in a statement on their website. Carrick came under mounting pressure after a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth and the former United midfielder carried the air of someone awaiting the inevitable after the defeat when fans chanted his name but booed the players off the pitch. He had dropped captain Bruno Fernandes to the bench against Bournemouth and did not bring him on even when United were desperate for inspiration in midfield, but the struggling club gave Carrick
