울프, 드디어 계약하냐?

The Dodgers are on the verge of an agreement with free-agent left-hander Randy Wolf, according to major league sources.

The deal is expected to be in the $5.5 million range and also will include incentives.

Wolf, 32, was with the Dodgers in 2007, and went 9-6 with a 4.73 ERA before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in July.

He then signed with the Padres as a free agent. But he didn't return to form until getting traded to the Astros, going 6-2 with a 3.57 ERA in 12 starts.

The Astros initially sought to retain Wolf, but pulled their three-year, $28.5 million offer because of economic reasons. Both sides acknowledge that they were proceeding toward an agreement when the team rescinded its offer.
1년에 5.5M 근처이며, 인센티브가 포함될거라고 하는군요.
일단 3선발, 혹은 2선발을 맡을 수 있겠군요.

The Twins reached agreement today on a one-year, $1.3 million contract with free agent reliever Luis Ayala, pending a physical, Ayala’s agent Joe Longo told the Star Tribune.

Ayala, 31, went 2-10 with a 5.71 ERA and nine saves in 86 appearances last year with the Nationals and Mets, handling a heavy workload despite a groin injury.

After getting traded from Washington to New York, Ayala stepped into the closer’s role for the Mets and converted nine of 11 save opportunities. The righthanded sinkerball specialist went 2-2 with a 3.19 ERA the previous year with Washington.

The Twins agreed to pay Ayala up to $575,000 in performance incentives. After losing setup man Pat Neshek to an elbow injury in November, they’ve explored numerous trade and free agent options.

“He’s happy to go in there and fight for that setup job,” Longo said.
다저스가 관심을 가졌던 루이스 아얄라가 트윈스와 1년에 1.3M으로 계약했습니다.
이 정도금액이면 다저스도 입찰경쟁을 해도 되었을거 같은데 말이죠.
참고로 작년에 그의 연봉이 1.7M였다는 걸 감안해도 그리 무리한 금액은 아닙니다.
쓸때없는 신중성이 또 하나의 불펜요원을 놓치는 군요.
