The Dodgers agreed to a one-year, $1.065 million contract with Hatcher on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sidelined for two months midseason due to a strained oblique, Hatcher salvaged the campaign with a spectacular stretch run, finishing with a 3.69 ERA, 1.231 WHIP, and 45:13 K:BB in 39 innings. Considering he also gathered four saves and 11 holds along the way, he should be considered for late-inning work this season by new manager Dave Roberts.
