Dodgers Agree with Repko, Martin, Broxton

The Los Angeles Dodgers have come to terms on 1-year contracts with outfielder Jason Repko, catcher Russel Martin, and closer Jonathan Broxton, avoiding arbitration with all three. Repko served primarily as a reserve outfielder, only being called up for a few days after Juan Pierre was injured in late June/early July before being added to the 40-man roster in September. Broxton was the set-up man before Takashi Saito went down with an injury. He became the de-facto closer, making 14 saves in 17 chances. Martin has gone to the All-Star game the last two years, and hit .280 last season. Martin's new contract is now worth $3.9 million, Broxton's is $1.8 million plus incentives, and Repko's is $500,000 plus incentives. Andre Ethier is the only player left that has not reached an agreement. If he and the Dodgers cannot come to an agreement over a new contract, then the two will plead their cases for their desired contract before an arbitrator who will select one.
