Dodgers Reach Agreement With Juan Uribe
By Tim Dierkes [November 29, 2010 at 1:25pm CST]
Juan Uribe is leaving the Giants for the rival Dodgers on the first multiyear
free agent deal of his career. The infielder agreed to a three-year, $21MM
contract with the Dodgers today.
Uribe, 31, hit .248/.310/.440 with 24 home runs in 575 plate appearances for
the Giants this year, adding a pair of postseason home runs. He mainly
played shortstop, but also logged time at third base and second base. Uribe
will presumably serve as the Dodgers' second baseman with Rafael Furcal in
the fold at short. The contract may seal Ryan Theriot's fate, with
Thursday's non-tender deadline looming. Another effect may be a heightened
sense of urgency for the Giants as they search for a shortstop. Uribe is a
Type B free agent who was offered arbitration by the Giants, so they'll
receive a supplemental draft pick for their loss.
Uribe's agents Barry Praver and Scott Shapiro engineered the deal. They did
well in getting three years, though Uribe was a hot commodity in a weak
market for middle infielders. On November 2nd, MLBTR correctly predicted
Uribe would sign with the Dodgers.
ESPN's Buster Olney first reported that a three-year deal was close, while
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweeted the amount and agreement.
