Not bad at all, considering the going price for relief pitching.

His agent needs to be fired.

Well I don't know the rule with international players, but doesn't he not have enough MLB service time regardless to file for FA? So otherwise, this was just a way of avoiding arbitration right? If not, then yes his agent should be fired.

I think that instead, he needs to speak with Juan Pierre and have a pow-wow. :redneck

Saito had all the power in this deal even though i think what he did was illegal. Hopefully this is a precursor to Broxton becoming available and hopefully to the sox :smile:

Broxton isn't going anywhere.

Broxton isn't going anywhere.

LA still needs SP and a Corner OFer good for 30+. They got a deep farm and deep pockets.

Well at least one guy signed for what he's worth + a bit under. Good riddance to this agent for not completely screwing over the team.

Great signing for the Dodgers. Its good to see someone signed to a reasonable contract

They know that Broxton is their closer of the future. They won't trade him, no matter the need for SP. They play in a weak enough division where they can go with a guy like Matt Kemp in the OF.

As for SP, I'm thinking they'll sign a free agent, most likely Schmidt. The Dodgers just signed the Giants trainer, and he knows Schmidt's arm better than anyone.
