SIGNED - 2B - Alexander Guerrero

MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reports that the Dodgers are close to a deal with free agent Alexander Guerrero.

Guerrero, a 26-year-old Cuban defector, has been in contact with the Dodgers for several months but an agreement couldn't be finalized until he secured an unblocking license from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Sanchez says the pact is "between five and seven years" and will be worth $32 million. Guerrero is a power-hitting second baseman

update...

The Dodgers have struck again in the international Market, signing 26-year old Cuban infielder Alexander Guerrero for $30M.  Several teams had been scouting Guerrero, but more than a month ago he made it clear he had an offer in the $30M vicinity, and most teams backed off.

 

Guerrero played shortstop in Cuba, but US teams are wary of his range and arm. “He’s a second baseman for me,” says one international scouting director.
