Good news for all the Dodgers fans out there! After testing out the free agent market, shortstop Rafael Furcal has decided to sign a new contract and stay with the Los Angles Dogers. Furcal needs to still take and pass a physical before the contract can be signed but everything points to him being back with the Dodgers.

The contract will be for three years at $30 million dollars and a vesting option for a fourth year. The deal is very similar to what was being reported by our Braves Blog when the Braves offered him a contact.

As long as Furcal can stay healthy, it is a good signing for the team. However, if he gets injured like last season watch out for all the people thinking “Why did we bring this guy back?”

The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to terms with Casey Blake and Mark Loretta on Tuesday. Blake has agreed to a three-year deal worth slightly more than $17.1 million while Loretta has agreed on a one-year, $1.25 million deal.

Blake turned down a two year deal from the Minnesota Twins that would have been worth $14 million. He feels that the Dodgers have a better chance to make it to the World Series and elected to come back to the Dodgers.

The Dodgers are still hoping to re-sign Rafael Furcal but they will have to beat other teams on the market for his services.
