Dodgers re-sign reliever Carrara
Monday February 03, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers reached agreement
with reliever Giovanni Carrara on a $790,000, one-year contract
Monday, avoiding salary arbitration.
Carrara was 6-3 with a 3.28 ERA and one save in 63 games last
season. He had career highs in appearances and innings pitched with
90 2-3. He earned a no-decision in his only start, a 3-2 victory
over Colorado on Sept. 25, in which he allowed two runs in five
innings.
The right-hander had asked for $880,000, while the Dodgers
offered $725,000.
Carrara was sixth among NL relievers with 85 2-3 innings
pitched.
He's made 110 appearances for the Dodgers over the past two
seasons, with a 12-4 record and 3.22 ERA and one save.
The Dodgers have 39 players on the 40-man roster under contract
for the upcoming season. Pitchers and catchers are due at spring
training in Vero Beach, Fla., on Feb. 12.
