Randy Wolf signs with Dodgers

[Clem Fandango]

Dodgers signed LHP Randy Wolf, who had been with the Astros, to a one-year, $5 million contract.

It's not necessarily a bargain, but it sure is a whole lot less than it appeared Wolf would get a few months ago. He can make up to $8 million at all, with bonuses that start at 170 innings. If he pitches 200 innings, he gets the whole amount. Wolf, though, hasn't pitched that many innings since 2003. Over the last five years, the only season in which he threw 170 was 2008, when he 12-12 with a 4.30 ERA in 190 1/3 innings for the Padres and Astros.

Thanks Ned.

Meh. He'll eat some innings and appear to have decent numbers in LA, but I'm not sure this changes anything for them. They are still a player away.

Every time Wolf is available people talk about how he wants to be on the west coast. I'd bet that's why he didn't take it right away, cause come on, you're Randy Wolf dude.

 

Also, how the hell is he only 31? I had him pegged for about 37.

On XM they were saying that they withdrew the offer before Wolf even had a chance to accept it.
