    Dodgers sign Jason Schmidt 3/47

    Mariners fans are miffed.

    Dodgers reach agreement with Schmidt

    ORLANDO, Fla. - The Dodgers have landed the biggest free-agent pitching prize to date, reaching a preliminary agreement on a three-year, $47 million contract with right-hander Jason Schmidt, FOXSports.com has learned.

    Schmidt, 33, chose the Dodgers over the Cardinals and Mariners, both of whom were seeking to add him to the top of their rotation.

    With the Dodgers, he will be reunited with general manager Ned Colletti and trainer Stan Conte, both of whom previously were with the Giants.

    The addition of Schmidt likely will increase the chances of the Dodgers trading right-hander Brad Penny for a hitter, even though the Dodgers lost free-agent right-hander Greg Maddux to the Padres on Tuesday.

    Schmidt went 11-9 last season with a 3.59 ERA, pitching 2131/3 innings. He has won 10 or more games in each of the past six seasons, including 17 in 2003 and 18 in '04.

    He is 127-90 lifetime with a 3.59 ERA.

    Today, I am a Dodgers fan for at least a minute (as they prevented the Cardinals from upgrading their rotation.)

    Good signing. Dodgers should trade Penny to the Red Sox for COCO CRISP now.

    How about that. Finally a good pitcher was actually signed for a huge amount. Nice change from all these mediocre pitchers getting huge deals. Schmidt doesn't have very far to go from his previous workplace either.
    Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.

    I bet you Giants just love the fact Schmidt signed with the Dodgers
    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett

    Ofcourse I'm not happy as a fan, but then again I also understand this is a business, I wish our GM would have made him a better offer.

    If we land Zitto than I will be thrilled.

    I was just teasing, I know the feeling watching several players over the years go from the BoSox to the Yankees.

    Good signing for the Dodgers, bad signing for Schmidt. When the defending champs are asking you for the same amount of years and could have matched that offer, you sign with the defending champs.

    What if he thought that the playoff Dodgers could be over the top with him?

    Definitely a good move for the Dodgers and I wish the Reds really had a "burning desire to win" by signing him, but we know the Cards will find another Jeff Weaver type or something who will suddenly be sparkling because of Jocketty's feelings about a player suddenly becoming good.

    Homer: We're proud of you, boy.

    Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.
