Rockies, Reliever Mike Dunn Agree On Deal

DENVER (AP/CBS4) — The Colorado Rockies and reliever Mike Dunn have agreed to a contract.

The 31-year-old Dunn shores up a Colorado bullpen that blew 28 saves last season. The lefty was 6-1 with a 3.40 ERA in 51 appearances last season for Miami.

Dunn was originally picked by the New York Yankees in the 33rd round of the 2004 draft. He's 28-25 over his career with the Yankees, Atlanta Braves and the Marlins.

Dunn becomes the second splashy free agent signing by the Rockies this winter. The team also recently agreed to a $70 million, five-year deal with All-Star outfielder Ian Desmond, who's making the switch to first base.
