Lefthander Wilson Alvarez, who resurrected his career last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
After starting
the season with Class AAA Las Vegas, the 33-year-old Alvarez was 6-2 with one
save and a 2.37 ERA in 21 games, including 12 starts, for the Dodgers. All of
his decisions came as a starter, a role in which he had a 2.67 ERA.
Alvarez's 25-inning scoreless streak from September 7-23 was the longest by
a Los Angeles pitcher in three years.
"Wilson was an integral part of our pitching staff and the success it enjoyed in 2003," general manager Dan Evans said. "He is a competitor and brings a great deal of experience and flexibility to our staff."
Alvarez pitched a no-hitter for the Chicago White Sox on August 11, 1991 and was selected to the 1994 American League All-Star team before his career was derailed by injuries.
