Dodgers signed OF Juan Rivera to a one-year, $4.5 million contract. He'll make $4 million guaranteed next season while the contract includes a $4 million club option for 2013 or a $500,000 buyout. It's a great deal for Rivera, who probably wouldn't have found a similar deal in free agency. The 33-year-old batted .273/.333/.406 with five homers, 46 RBI and a .740 OPS over 246 plate appearances with the Dodgers this season. As of now, he projects to share playing time with Jerry Sands in left field next season.
