The Los Angeles Dodgers are close to another deal:
“According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX sports the Los Angeles Dodgers are close to a deal with free agent pitcher Brandon McCarthy.
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.”
