McCarthy, has made his fair share of stops in the majors, but was traded from the D’Backs to the Yankees last season. As a Yankee, McCarthy put up great numbers as he went 7-5 with a 2.89 ERA.

Many MLB fans may know McCarthy from the devastating blow to the head he suffered in 2012. Los Angeles Angels hitter Eric Aybar hit a line drive that struck McCarthy in the head. McCarthy was taken to the hospital and had surgery immediately.

McCarthy has struggled with injuries since the incident but would be an excellent addition to the Dodgers rotation if he is able to stay healthy.

The underlying thing to remember about this potential agreement is that GM Farhan Zaidi was in Oakland at the same time as McCarthy. This might be why McCarthy is leaning towards signing with the Dodgers more than any of his other potential suitors.
