Found February 03, 2012 on Fox Sports:
The Dodgers continued reinforcing their bullpen Friday, signing right-hander Todd Coffey to a one-year, $1.3 million contract, according to major-league sources. The deal, which is pending a physical, includes a club option for 2013. Coffey, 31, spent last season with the Washington Nationals, going 5-1 with a 3.62 ERA. He has averaged 72 appearances the past three seasons. The Dodgers are in bankruptcy, but Coffey will be the team's 11th free-agent addition of the offseason. Right-hander Aaron Harang, who signed for two years, $12 million, received the largest guarantee. Coffey will join a right-handed setup corps that already includes Kenley Jansen, Matt Guerrier and Mike MacDougal. Righty Javy Guerra is the team's closer, and the left-handers will be Scott Elbert and possibly John Grabow, who signed a minor-league contract.
