Last Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed pitcher Randy Wolf to a one-year contract for $5million. The deal is also inclusive of an additional $3 million in performance bonuses based on innings.

The 32-year-old Wolf combined a 12-12 with a 4:30 ERA in 2008 with San Diego and Houston, which offered him $27 million for a three-year contract in November. However, the proposal was withdrawn a week later due to unfavorable economic conditions.

Wolf now moves to a team that has recently lost Derek Lowe and Brad Penny.

“We're all glad to have Randy back in a Dodger uniform,” said general manager Ned Colletti. “We have looked to address our rotation and feel that he really helps us do that. He had a solid 2008 and pitched well for us in the first half of 2007. Having grown up in Los Angeles rooting for the Dodgers, we're sure that coming home is also very special to him.”
