Dodgers Finally Make Some Kind of Move

 

Yahoo Sports- Former NL Cy Young Award winner Eric Gagne has agreed to a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. Gagne would receive a $500,000, one-year contract if added to the 40-man roster, the person said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Gagne could earn an additional $500,000 in performance bonuses.

Probably my favorite Dodgers pitcher of all time is back where he belongs. Eric Gagne was the most dominant pitcher in baseball from 2002-4. Unfortunately he got on the 'roids, threw his arm out and now he sucks the D. But don't think for a moment that I don't just love this move. Maybe being back in LA with revive his arm for another season or two. God damnit I just want to see a little more of that Gagne magic. Just two more 98 mph fastballs followed by that 65 mph circle change to sit 'em down. Still gives me the chills.

P.S. Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. Baseball season is officially upon us.
