Dodgers Sign Eric Gagne

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Eric Gagne is back with the Dodgers. Gagne's career became a shadow of its former self after Gagne left the club at the end of the 2006 season, signing with the Texas Rangers. 2007 is considered his last effective season. Gagne spent the 2009 season with the Cam-Am League's Quebec Capitales. Gagne also received a minor league offer from the Colorado Rockies, but preferred to come back to a familiar club. Gagne could be a threat to make the pen behind Jonathan Broxton, George Sherrill, and Hong-Chi Kuo. He could split time with Hong-Chi Kuo and Ramon Troncoso at the 7th and 8th inning roles, and could close occasionally. This is a very sentimental reunion for the Dodgers and Eric Gagne, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
