Dodgers Agree to One-Year Deal with Tony Cingrani

The stove isn’t quite hot yet for the Los Angeles Dodgers but they aren’t standing pat completely.

Ken Rosenthal reports that the team avoided arbitration and agreed to a one-year, $2.65M deal with Tony Cingrani.

The left-hander had a tough season, dealing with injuries that limited him to just 30 games. He finished with a 4.76 ERA, 2.32 FIP, and 36 strikeouts in 22.2 innings pitched. Cingrani came into the season as a candidate to be a setup man for Kenley Jansen but was derailed by a ‘dead arm’, left shoulder inflammation and a rotator cuff strain.

Despite the rough year, the 29-year-old gets a slight raise from the $2.3M he made in 2018. Cingrani figures to be counted on a key piece to the bullpen once again, assuming he’s healthy.
