    The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed with former All-Star closer Chris Perez on a one-year contract, according to reports.

    Perez, 28, was not tendered a contract by the Cleveland Indians in October after struggling with a 4.33 ERA in 56 games and being arrested in June for having marijuana shipped to his home under his dog's name. He pleaded no contest to those charges and was put on probation, according to reports.

    Perez gives the Dodgers four pitchers with experience as closers and plenty of bullpen facial hair. Kenley Jansen will be the closer, and the team signed Brian Wilson for $10 million earlier this month to be his setup man.

    The Dodgers also have Brandon League, who was signed to a three-year, $22.5 million deal to close last winter before struggling.
