LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed left-handed pitcher and free agent Andrew Heaney to a one-year, $ 8.5 million contract, filling a gap in their starting pitching rotation .
Heaney could earn an additional $ 1M in performance bonuses of $ 250,000 if he reaches the targets of 100, 125, 150 and 175 innings pitched.
The 30-year-old Heaney played for the Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees in 2021. He finished the season with an 8-9 record and a 5.83 earned-run average.
