Sources: Garland guaranteed $7.25M in 'Zona deal

The Diamondbacks' already-formidable rotation is about to get even stronger.

Arizona has reached a one-year deal with free-agent right-hander Jon Garland with a mutual option for 2010, according to major-league sources.

Garland will receive $6.25 million in the first year of the contract. He also will receive a $2.5 million buyout if the Diamondbacks decline his option, bringing the total value of the deal to $8.75 million, sources said. If the team exercises his option and Garland opts for free agency, he will receive a $1 million buyout, making the total value $7.25 million.

The mutual option is valued at $10 million. (존 갈랜드와 애리조나 디백스와 1+1 계약에 합의를 했습니다.09년 625만불을 받게 되고 팀 옵션을 디백스가 거부할 경우 250만불의 바이아웃이 걸려있기에 총 875만불이 보장된 금액이라고 합니다.만약 팀이 옵션을 실행하거나 갈랜드가 FA 조항을 택하면 100만불 바이아웃을 받는지라 725만불의 가치가 있다고 하네요.즉 갈랜드가 1년 계약을 한 대신에 09시즌 성적에 따라 본인이 FA를 다시 택할 수 있나 봅니다.)

Garland is scheduled to have his physical later Wednesday.

Garland joins a rotation headed by 2006 Cy Young winner Brandon Webb, two-time All-Star Dan Haren and Doug Davis.

The Diamondbacks believe Garland will benefit from changing leagues, having spent his entire career in the American League. The team thinks Garland's sinkerball style, much like that of staff ace Webb, will thrive in the NL West.

Garland turned down arbitration from the Angels this offseason, which could have netted him a non-guaranteed contract of more than $12 million. However, he also risked taking a pay cut in arbitration. As recently as last week, Garland had been looking for a one-year deal in the neighborhood of $9 million, according to sources.

Garland, an All-Star in 2005, pitched his first eight seasons for the White Sox before joining the Angels in 2008. In Los Angeles, Garland went 14-8 with a 4.90 ERA in 196 2/3 innings. It was the first season he didn't top 200 innings since 2003. For his career, Garland is 106-89 with a 4.47 ERA.

Meanwhile, the Mets' pitching options continue to dwindle. Garland had been one of New York's secondary targets behind left-hander Oliver Perez. Left-hander Randy Wolf is also a secondary target for the Mets, but his representatives met with the Dodgers on Sunday and Monday, and could meet again on Wednesday. (갈랜드는 엔젤스의 오프시즌 연봉 조정신천을 거부했는데 거부하지 않았으면 08시즌 1200만불에서 많이 깎여야 20%인지라 960만불로 디백스의 제시액보다 더 많이 받을 수 있었겠지만 리그를 옮겼으니 어쨋든 성적으로 그것을 만회하는 수 밖에 없죠.이것은 갈랜드보다 가격이 싸서 택한 랜디 울프가 다저스로 올 가능성이 매우 높다는 걸 의미합니다.)
