Dodgers add another arm, agree to $12M deal with Harang

DALLAS -- Pitcher Aaron Harang has agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 33-year-old right-hander, a Southern California native, was 14-7 with a career-low 3.64 ERA in 28 starts for the San Diego Padres last season. He joins a rotation that already includes NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Ted Lilly and fellow newcomer Chris Capuano, who signed a $10 million, two-year deal last week.

Harang is 95-94 with a 4.25 ERA with Oakland (2002-03), Cincinnati (2003-10) and San Diego (2011).

His deal includes salaries of $3 million next year and $7 million in 2013, with a $2 million buyout of a 2014 mutual option at $7 million to $8 million.

General manager Ned Colletti says Harang gives the team added depth and a veteran arm in the rotation.

Also Thursday, the Dodgers traded left-handed pitcher Dana Eveland to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for a pair of minor leaguers: left-hander Jarret Martin and outfielder Tyler Henson.

Eveland was 3-2 with a 3.03 ERA in five starts for L.A. last season. He's 19-24 with a 5.52 ERA in seven seasons with six teams.

Martin was 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA in 31 games with Class A Delmarva last season. The 22-year-old from Bakersfield, Calif., was selected by Baltimore in the 18th round of the 2009 first-year player draft.

Henson, who turns 25 next week, batted .247 with three home runs and 36 RBI in 123 games with Triple-A Norfolk last season. The Oklahoma native was selected by the Orioles in the fifth round of the 2006 first-year player draft.
