The Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed free agent pitcher Hiroki Kuroda to a one-year deal worth $12 million. The contract will pay Kuroda $8 million in 2011, plus a $4 million signing bonus that will be paid out in 2012 and 2013, sources familiar with the negotiations told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. 躲人跟黑田簽下一年 12M 的合約，明年會付他 8M，剩下的 4M 會在 2012 & 2013 延遲付款。 The deal was announced Monday after he took a physical in Los Angeles. "We were interested in doing something maybe with an option for another year, but our appetite was one year as well," general manager Ned Colletti said. "It fit with what he was looking to do and it fit with what we were looking to do." Kuroda had been considering a return to his native Japan, where he once starred for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. But the 35-year-old right-hander decided to remain in the U.S., where he lives in the offseason with his wife and two children, for a fourth season in the major leagues "I think he had a good experience here in L.A.," Colletti said. "I think he liked being a Dodger. I think his family liked the idea of coming back." 黑田本來被認為可能會回日本打球。科科提表示我們正在尋找可以簽一年約的合適人選，這對彼此來說都是很好的選擇，他認為黑田喜歡 L.A. 而且他的家人應該也希望他回來。 He had an 11-13 record with a 3.39 ERA in 196 1-3 innings and was healthy the entire season after injuries disrupted his first two years with the Dodgers. He had career highs in victories, innings pitched, ERA and strikeouts (159) last season. Kuroda's career 3.60 ERA is the lowest among all Japanese starting pitchers in major league history. He was coming off a $35.3 million, three-year deal that paid $13 million last season. He was the Opening Day starter in 2009. Kuroda's return gives the Dodgers four established starting pitchers, along with Ted Lilly, who re-signed last month for $33 million over three years, Chad Billingsley and Clayton Kershaw. The other member of the rotation, Vicente Padilla, is a free agent. 擺脫傷痛後的黑田今年投出來米國後的最好成績，目前躲人的輪值前四號都已經到位，原本的五號 Padilla 目前是 FA. Colletti said it was too soon to tell if the Dodgers would make any more major signings this offseason. "We would still like to add pitching to the roster," he said. "There's a possibility of signing a veteran fifth starter, but until we have it, we don't have it. "That doesn't close the door on anybody, but I can't be specific on any free agents. But I'll just say that the Kuroda signing doesn't preclude us from trying to get better pitching." Colletti hasn't closed the door on former manager Joe Torre returning to the Dodgers in some capacity, either. "I talked to Joe probably three-four times since the end of the season," Colletti said. "He was in Hawaii for a while. "I'm leaving that to Joe when he wants to approach me with what he wants to do and when he wants to do it." Colletti also said he expects to announce the coaching staff in the next couple of days. "We've got a pretty good feel for it, there's just some other details we've gotta tie up," he said. 科科提說目前要談在休季期間是否還會有其他補強還言之過早，他對於補強投手還是很有興趣，也有可能找個老屁股來當五號，不過目前還沒有確定什麼事，可以確定的是簽回黑田並不會阻止想要繼續補強更好投手的想法。也沒有排除讓九頭驢回來擔任球隊職務的可能性。 (..........) 球季結束後跟九頭驢談過三四次，不過他人在夏威夷一陣子了，暫時不再打擾他，等他想做什麼時再跟我們聯絡。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.116.5.38 ※ 編輯: Sheffield3 來自: 122.116.5.38 (11/16 13:20)
