LOS ANGELES (AP) -Left-hander Eric Milton was close to an agreement Tuesday on a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The 33-year-old was 0-4 with a 5.17 ERA in six starts for the Cincinnati Reds in 2007, then had elbow ligament replacement surgery.
He spent last year rehabilitating in the New York Yankees’ minor league system, and was 0-4 with a 5.17 ERA in six late-season starts with Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre.
An All-Star with Minnesota in 2001, he has an 87-84 record in 10 major league seasons.
If added to the 40-man roster, the pitcher would get a one-year contract calling for $650,000 in the majors and $72,000 in the minors. He could earn an additional $1.05 million based on starts five through 30, and $150,000 based on relief appearances 50 through 70.
