Dodgers To Re-Sign Juan Uribe
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/12/dodgers-to-re-sign-juan-uribe.html
The Dodgers are set to re-sign Juan Uribe to a two-year deal, according to
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). Uribe is represented by
Praver/Shapiro, according to the MLBTR Agency Database. Financial terms of
the deal are not yet known.
Earlier today, Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said that he was hopeful that he could
bring the third baseman back to Los Angeles. It was a mild surprise to hear
that given the reports indicating that the Dodgers were set to move on after
a lack of responsiveness from Uribe's side to their latest offer. The
Dodgers were said to be seeking a one-year deal with an option for year two
but it would appear that the veteran has secured two guaranteed years.
Uribe hit .273/.331/.438 for the Dodgers last season, a dramatic improvement
over the .199/.262/.289 line he gave L.A. in the previous two campaigns. The
new deal keeps the 34-year-old in a comfortable spot - he's spent the last
three years in L.A. and thanks to stints in Colorado and San Francisco, he's
spent all but five of his 13 big league seasons in the NL West.
Uribe made over 100 starts for the Dodgers in 2013 and was incredibly
valuable, posting the fourth-best WAR among all free agents. It's a far cry
from his position prior to the '13 season when some wondered if the Dodgers
might look to cut Uribe and eat the $7MM remaining on his deal.
The Dodgers were looking at re-signing Michael Young to be their everyday
third baseman as a contingency plan and while he could still return to L.A.,
it would appear that he'd have to sign on in a different role. The Marlins
and Rays were also among the clubs with interest in Uribe.
MLBTR's Tim Dierkes predicted that Uribe would land a two-year, $12MM deal at
the outset of the offseason.
簡單說 道奇預定跟有理伯再簽兩年
合約內容未定
去年先發超過100場的Uribe績效奇佳 (WAR在FA裡面排第四)
2014將繼續鎮守三壘
原本傳言要接下道奇先發三壘手的樣哥 似乎要另外想辦法了～
