Colletti In Touch With Andre Ethier's Agents
Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti has kept in contact with Andre Ethier's agents at CAA through the team's ownership change in hopes of reaching agreement on an extension, according to Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio (on Twitter). In a followup tweet, Bowden says that he expects an extension would cover four or five years and pay the slugging right fielder $14-$15MM annually.
Over the past week we've heard that Colletti has talked with the new ownership group about a new deal for Ethier and his intention has always been to keep Ethier wearing Dodger blue. The 30-year-old Ethier avoided arbitration this offseason, agreeing to a one-year deal worth $10.95MM. He's enjoying a strong start to the 2012 season, batting .284/.326/.568 entering play today.
