The Dodgers have signed RHP Hisashi Iwakuma to a three-year, $45 million free-agent contract. Iwakuma had spent the previous four seasons with the Mariners after making the jump to the majors from Japan. (Jon Heyman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Los Angeles missed on several higher-profile SPs, but Iwakuma should still provide solid value. He'll remain in a pitcher's park, but he gets a boost in win opportunities playing for a stronger team moving forward. He should be a great fantasy asset for ERA and WHIP, though he doesn't strike out a ton of batters (7.6 K/9 over career).
