The Dodgers agreed to sign Jon Garland, according to Dylan Hernandez of the
LA Times (on Twitter). The 31-year-old will be the fifth starter in a Dodgers
rotation that already includes Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Ted Lilly
and Hiroki Kuroda. Last year, Garland pitched to a 3.47 ERA with 6.1 K/9 and
3.9 BB/9 in exactly 200 innings for the Padres.
The deal is for one year with an option for 2012 that vests after a
significant number of innings, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on
Twitter). Garland has logged at least 190 innings every year since 2002, so
his chances of reaching the innings threshold seem good.
The Rockies were interested in Garland as were the Padres, who offered him
arbitration earlier in the week. Garland was a Type B free agent, so he won't
cost the Dodgers a pick, but the Padres will obtain a supplementary first
rounder in next year's draft for their loss.
躲人簽回Jon Garland,31歳的他將會擔任5號先發,合約為1年包含1個有條件的option
他自從02年以後每年都能投190局以上,因此這個option很有機會自動執行
由於他是TYPE-B,教士也可以拿到1個補償的選秀權

The winter meetings are still a week away, but already the Los Angeles
Dodgers have solidified their starting rotation. The club signed right-hander
Jon Garland to a one-year contract with a base salary of $5 million on Friday
Garland, 31, will also be eligible to earn up to $3 million in
performance-based incentives this season. The contract includes an $8 million
club option for 2012, which would vest if he pitches more than 190 innings in
2011
