Dodgers Sign Hector Olivera for 6 years, $62.5 Million

[Villain]

Going to get off topic here but if anyone is interested in joining a fantasy baseball league on CBS, let me know. LALakersboy, LAsportzphan, even Villain (lol, welcome back by the way) are welcome. Let me know if you're interested, we need a couple more peeps.

I haven't done fantasy baseball in a long time, but I'm interested if you need someone in last place.

This is a signing for the future, not this season.

I sent you guys the info. Thanks for joining up and feel free to invite anyone you want. The draft is on April 4th at 8:30 AM PST but the time can be changed if it's too early.

You want to join up DJ? We have 3 spots open.

Word on the tweet is that Olivera could be finalizing his contract last night.

It hasn't been announced yet as official, but I'll assume it's as close as you can get without it being official.

But just hoping he doesn't need the surgery and if not seeing him around the All Star Break.

He's going to Camelback for about a week and then to Rancho and OKC for rehab games. He expects to be ready in 3-4 weeks.

Just to add a source to that:

Andrew Friedman on Hector Olivera: 'He's going to come up at some point this year and help us win games' - True Blue LA

"He'll be [in Arizona] for a week or so before heading to [Class-A Rancho Cucamonga] for a few games. We're kind of treating that a little bit like a spring training. Then we'll get him to [Triple-A] Oklahoma City for a while, and reassess at that point.

"We had him at our camp in the Dominican for the last month, and had a chance to have our guys spend time with him and be around him, watch the body and see how he bounces back day after day,"

Uribe's days are numbered?
