Alex Guerrero signs to play for Chunichi Dragons in Japan

Former Dodgers infielder/outfielder Alex Guerrero has found a new home, signing a deal with the Chunichi Dragons in the Japanese Central League, the team announced on Saturday.

Guerrero, who will wear jersey number 42 with Chunichi, will earn roughly $1.3 million in 2017, per Baseball Japones.

Guerrero, who turned 30 on Nov. 20, began the 2016 season on the disabled list with a left knee contusion, missing the first five weeks of the season. He was just 9-for-66 (.136) in 16 games between three levels on a minor league rehab assignment in May, with two walks and 14 strikeouts.
