The Dodgers signed 28 year old right-handed starter Brandon Beachy to a one year contract yesterday with an option for 2016. He had his second Tommy John surgery almost a year ago and will not be ready to pitch until around the All-Star break. He missed all of 2014 with the Atlanta Braves and has only pitched in 18 games in the past three seasons. He has a 14-11 career record with a 3.23 ERA.
The Dodgers signed Beachy as an insurance policy for the second half of this season (that is a $2.75 million policy) and hoping he can make a comeback. It also covers 2016 in case Greinke and/or Anderson end up somewhere else. The contract option is for $3-$6 million depending on how much he pitches this year.
