In somewhat of a suprising move, the Los Angeles Dodgers have released relief pitcher Rudy Seanez.  Seanez didn’t have the best spring training of his career as he had a 7.71 ERA but that was only in four innings of action.

I’d expect Seanez to retire from the game of baseball after being released.  He had planned on retiring before last season if he didn’t make the Dodgers roster.  Thanks for everything you put in for the Los Angeles Dodgers Mr. Seanez.

Yesterday it was Mike Sweeney signing with the Oakland A’s, and now today Mark Sweeney is signing a one year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Sweeney will be paid $600,00 and an extra $125,000 bonus if he makes the Dodgers opening day roster.

Sweeney will mostly be used as a pitch hitter, but can also play first base as well as both corner outfield postions.  Good pickup for the Dodgers, as they pick up a utility player and are hardly paying him anything.  Great player to have incase of injuries etc.
