Iwakuma is 34 years old and will turn 35 in April. He pitched professionally in Japan before joining the Mariners in 2012. He has spent all four of his years in the MLB with the Mariners.

Last season he posted a 9-5 record with a 3.54 ERA. He made 20 starts and pitched 111 innings. After losing Zack Greinke to the Arizona Diamondbacks the Dodgers had to make a move to fill the void.

Reports have surfaced that the Dodgers have been active in Aroldis Chapman trade talks. They made a deal to acquire the reliever earlier today.
