Associated Press
LOS ANGELES � Garret Anderson agreed Wednesday to a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was invited to major league spring training.
If the outfielder is added to the Dodgers� 40-man roster, he would receive a $550,000, one-year contract and the chance to earn an additional $200,000 in performance bonuses. If he is not added to the big league roster by April 1, he could ask for his release.
The 37-year-old Anderson played 15 seasons with the Los Angeles Angels before spending last year with Atlanta, hitting .268 with 13 homers.
The San Fernando Valley native is the Angels� career leader in hits, runs and RBIs, and played on their only World Series title team in 2002.
Anderson will compete with Brian Giles and Doug Mientkiewicz for a spot as the Dodgers� fifth outfielder and left-handed pinch-hitter.
