Catching up on some things from earlier today, the Dodgers made official the minor league deals of Juan Castro, JD Closser, and Eugenio Velez. All three have invites to spring training. We already knew about Closser, but his whiteboard mate, Jon Huber, has a minor league deal but will start spring training in minor league camp.

More info on the minor league signings are here, and are also on the sidebar.

The Dodgers also announced that pitchers and catchers report (those four words are the best of the winter) to Camelback Ranch on February 17, meaning we are a mere 66 days away from baseball. The first full squad workout for the Dodgers is scheduled for February 22, and their first spring training game is on February 26 in Mesa against the Angels.
