Jayson Stark of ESPN.com tweets that the Dodgers have agreed on a two-year deal with free agent pitcher Chris Capuano, formerly of the New York Mets.
The report was first mentioned by ESPN’s Jim Bowden.
Bowden mentioned in his tweet that the deal for Capuano may signal the end of Hiroki Kuroda’s Dodger career. The two sides were unable to reach a deal after Kuroda was unwilling to come close to the $12.5 million salary he made in 2011.
The deal for Capuano is said to be for $10 million.
Capuano played for the Mets in 2011, after spending five seasons with the Brewers.
In 2011, he posted a record of 11-12 with a 4.55 ERA in 31 starts. He posted a K/BB ratio of 3.17.
Capuano, 33, has posted a 3-3 record with a 3.33 ERA against the Dodgers in nine starts.
This past season, you may remember that Capuano held the Dodgers to two runs in six innings on July 4th.
Capuano is 2-1 with a 4.30 ERA in four starts at Dodger Stadium, but has made just one start in the last four years in Los Angeles.
Capuano made $1.5 million in 2011.
