Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports that the White Sox have agreed to terms with Ronald Belisario on a one-year, $3 million contract. |
Belisario was non-tendered by the Dodgers earlier this week, but it didn't take him long to get scooped up. The 30-year-old has put up a 3.24 ERA over the last two seasons while striking out 118 across 139 frames. He'll help set up for Addison Reed for the Pale Hose. |

It's a surprise, as the Dodgers of all teams could have afforded to keep Belisario in his first year of arbitration. The 30-year-old has put up a 3.24 ERA over the last two seasons while striking out 118 across 139 frames. He won't have trouble netting a middle relief gig somewhere. |

Ronald Belisario has been kicked off his Venezuelan Winter League team for disciplinary reasons. |

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Ronald Belisario and Brandon League will share the closer role while Kenley Jansen (irregular heartbeat) is out. |

Brandon started off a little shaky but has been really good." With Jansen possibly out for the season, both Belisario and League are worth scooping up. |

Tue May 1 2012 | 22:50 | Ronald Belisario no lock to join Dodgers pen |
Ronald Belisario is eligible to be activated from the restricted list Friday, but it's not a sure thing that he will be. |
Belisario is serving a 25-game suspension for violating MLB's drug program. The Dodgers like him as a one-inning reliever, but right now they need someone that can go multiple innings. "He likes to let it fly for one inning," pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said. "When he's on, he can be dominant, but that's 20 pitches or less, and after that, his stuff changes." Belisario is out of options, so he'd have to pass through waivers if the Dodgers try to send him to the minors. |
