Aug. 4 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles Dodgers signed four-time All-Star pitcher Cole Hamels to a one-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.
Hamels, who tried out for teams during a workout in front of scouts last month in Texas, passed his physical with the Dodgers earlier Wednesday, clearing the way for his signing. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers designated Yefry Ramirez for assignment.
