PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and others agreed to a $2.5 million settlement to end their part of a lawsuit brought over Rhode Islands disastrous $75 million deal with 38 Studios, his failed video game company.If approved by the judge overseeing the lawsuit, the agreement filed Monday with four 38 Studios officials brings an end to Schillings involvement in the case. Schilling has strenuously denied wrongdoing and said the company failed in 2012 in part because the state didnt do enough to help. Neither he nor the other company officials admit liability in the settlement with the Rhode Island Commerce Corp., the states economic development agency.Retired Superior Court Judge Francis Darigan, who was acting as mediator in the case, said during a news conference that none of the defendants would pay out of pocket. Instead, 38 Studios insurance company would pay.No one is going to be perfectly satisfied with this, Darigan said. Its a practical move on the part of the state.The Commerce Corp. signed off on the deal after it determined through an exhaustive study that the combined assets of Schilling and the other three would not exceed $2.5 million, Darigan said. He added that the attorney who did the review was satisfied that there were no hidden assets that could be reached.Schilling has said in the past that he lost as much as $50 million of his own money that he invested in 38 Studios. Darigan said the examination of his finances was confidential, and he himself did not know the details.Schilling was fired by ESPN this year for unacceptable conduct following an insulting post he made on Facebook about transgender people.He recently signed a contract to host an online radio show. Darigan said that contract was part of the information the Commerce Corp.s lawyer had considered when examining assets.Schilling tweeted Monday afternoon that he wanted to tell his side of the story publicly once all is approved, but did not say when that would be.If Superior Court Judge Michael Silverstein approves the settlement, it would bring the amount of settlements in the case so far to about $45 million, and leave one defendant, First Southwest, which acted as Rhode Islands financial adviser in the deal.Lawyers for the Commerce Corp. asked the court to approve the settlement, saying in court documents that its a highly unusual case in which it makes no economic sense whatsoever for the parties to proceed to trial rather than proceed with the proposed settlement.38 Studios agreed to move to Rhode Island from Massachusetts in 2010 in exchange for a $75 million state loan guarantee. It went bankrupt less than two years later.Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo reiterated Monday that she thinks 38 Studios was a bad deal for the states residents. She said shes focused on recovering as much taxpayer money as possible and her team is preparing for trial with the remaining defendant.About $2 million from Mondays settlement will be applied to paying back bonds, according to the Commerce Corp. It said Rhode Island taxpayers would still owe about $28.2 million on the bonds.Rhode Island last month reached its biggest settlement in the case, amounting to $25.6 million from Wells Fargo Securities and Barclays Capital Inc.---Associated Press writer Jennifer McDermott contributed to this report.

ATLANTA -- Braves shortstop Erick Aybar has been traded to the Detroit Tigers, clearing a path for Alanta to call up top prospect Dansby Swanson.Swanson, the No. 1 overall draft pick of 2015, will be in the lineup at shortstop on Wednesday against Minnesota in his major league debut.I think that Dansby is going to be able to handle it mentally, said John Hart, Atlantas president of baseball operations. Hes not a kid that if he comes in and really struggles right out of the gate that its going to affect him. This is a kid that finds a lot of ways to help you win games other than maybe what he does with the bat.Atlanta received infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Kade Scivicque in Tuesdays trade.Swanson, acquired last December in the deal that sent starting pitcher Shelby Miller to Arizona, has split the season between Class A Carolina and Double-A Mississippi. In 127 games in the minors, Swanson is hitting .277 with 10 homers and 66 RBI.Aybar gives the Tigers experience at shortstop as Jose Iglesias recovers from a hamstring injury. Aybar is hitting .242 with two homers and 26 RBI and is making $8.5 million in the final year of his contract.This is something that came together in the last 24 hours, Atlanta general manager John Coppolella said. I think they had some injuries and had a need open. Were trying to get better and younger. We feel this trade does that for us.Atlanta acquired Aybar last November with minor league pitcher Sean Newcomb as part of the trade that sent Gold Glove shortstop Andrelton Simmons to the Los Angeles Angels.Aybar, in his 11th big league season, was in the starting lineup for Tuesdays game against Minnesota but was removed after taking batting practice and replaced by Chase dArnaud.Tigers general manager Al Avila wanted to make the deal because he values Aybars versatility as Detroit tries to stay in the AAL wild-card race.ddddddddddddHes a switch-hitter, Avila said. He can play short. He can play third. He can play second. Really, if we needed him to, in a pinch, if we had to -- and I hope we dont -- we could throw him in the outfield. But right now he gives us an experienced veteran-type player that we feel will give us a little better offense than, lets say Aviles.Aviles, 35, hit .210 with one homer and six RBI in 68 games with the Tigers.Scivicque, 23, hit .282 with six homers and 41 RBI in 105 games for Single-A Lakeland. Before acquiring Scivicque, the Braves had no significant catching prospects in their minor league system.Scivicque was ranked as Detroits No. 20 prospect before the season by MLB.com.Weve said this is probably our biggest area of need, Coppolella said. We dont have young, upper-level catching. Weve been trying to find it. Hes a good player. Hes a fourth-round pick. Hes got off-the-charts makeup, too. We did a lot of work on him. Hes a great makeup guy. Can really lead a staff.Detroit recalled outfielder Steven Moya from Triple-A Toledo to take Aviles spot on the 25-man roster.Coppolella said second baseman Ozzie Albies, the Braves No. 2 prospect, will stay at Mississippi for now, but could be in Atlanta soon.Albies moved from shortstop to second base this year so the Braves could watch him play alongside Swanson. But at 19, Albies is three years younger than Swanson and needs more time in the minors.Well kind of go day by day with him and see how it goes, Coppolella said. Hes got a bright future. It wont be long before hes up here soon, and therell be a lot of good, young players following as well.---Associated Press freelance writer Dave Hogg in Detroit contributed to this report. ' ' '
