The nearly bankrupt (but ridiculously over-valued) Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles have come to terms with star outfielder Andre Ethier on a one-year, $10.95 million deal. Ethier is coming off a terrible year with only 11 home runs—down dramatically from his career average. The 29-year old is best buds with The Muddy Chicken (AKA Dustin Pedroia, AKA El Cabalitto) from their days at Arizona State, and it's no secret that they'd like to be re-united. Could there be a surprise deal in the offing, now that Ethier's salary is a known factor? Stay tuned.
