Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

A passed physical this week will mean the signing of free agent reliever Guillermo Moto, who was a Dodger from 2002-2004.

The right-hander was the set-up man for closer Eric Gange in his stint with the Dodgers a few years ago. If signed, he will likely be the go-to guy in the seventh with Kuo and Wade in the eighth before Broxton’s ninth. Since being traded from the Dodgers in ’04, Moto’s ERA has risen by over two, and he has also had a 50-day suspension for violating the league’s drug policy.

The Braves also offered free agent Derek Lowe a four-year $60-million dollar contract, which is $24 million more than Lowe got in his past four years with the Dodgers.
