Jeff Kent is coming back

Yes, Jeff Kent's agent Jeffrey Klein informed the Dodgers that Kent will grace us with his presence according to Ken Gurnick. I was hoping he'd come back and earn that $9 million the Dodgers are paying him.

Andruw Jones News

Ken Gurnick is reporting that the Dodgers are stepping up their efforts in regards to Andruw Jones, but are reluctant to go past two years on any deal. This would either make Juan Pierre available, which he may already be or perhaps pave the way for a Andre Ethier trade. Juan Pierre getting moved would be the best alternative, but his ridiculous contract may preclude any takers. Not to mention that he sucks.

Dodgers looking to Kuroda for the back of the Rotation

According to Ken Gurnick from mlb.com the Dodgers are looking to sign Japanese pitcher Hiroki Kuroda.

Here's a little info on him: He's 32, pitched for Hiroshima where he compiled a record of 103-89 over 11 seasons & was a teammate of super closer Takashi Saito. Kuroda is a true free agent and is not subject to the posting system. Among teams pursing Kuroda are Seattle, Arizona and Kansas City. He'll probably get somewhere around 3 years/30 million which is better than anything we would give someone like Kyle Loshe.
