Dodgers officially announce signing of Ted Lilly
By
In a team press release, the Los Angeles Dodgers have officially announced that they signed left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly to a three-year contract. The value of the contract was not made public, but The Denver Posts’ Troy E. Renck says the deal is for three-years, $33 million, but he cautions that “he’s not sure yet.”
“Ted helped stabilize our rotation both in terms of his pitching ability and his leadership,” said GM Ned Colletti. “He gave us everything we were looking for in a veteran pitcher down the stretch last season.”
FOXSport’s Ken Rosenthal was the first to report that the Dodgers were close to a three-year deal with Lilly. The Los Angeles Times’ Dylan Hernandez confirmed that Lilly and the team agreed to terms on a new deal.
In 12 starts for the Dodgers, the 34-year-old Lilly went 7-4 with a 3.52 ERA.
