GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena to a $25 million, five-year contract Saturday. "We think he adds to our major league club at some point this year," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said. The Dodgers had been negotiating with Arruebarrena for several days. The 23-year-old infielder defected from Cuba last fall, establishing residency in Haiti. He has been working out in the Dominican Republic, according to the Colletti. Colletti said Arruebarrena still has to acquire a work visa. "Well get him as soon as we can get him here," Colletti said. "We need to see him on an everyday basis." Arruebarrena was a teammate of Yasiel Puigs in the Cuban League from 2010-11. He is touted for his defence but Colletti said his offence still needs work. Still, Arruebarrena was starting shortstop for Cuba in the 2013 World Baseball Classic and batted .375 with four runs and two RBIs in six games. "Offensively, hes a work in progress," Colletti said. "Hes got power. Thats the part of his game that probably needs to get better. But his defence is good enough that it was worth signing him. We signed him for the defensive part, knowing that he can play the middle of the diamond at a very high level. And, theres some offensive ability there that well try to fine tune." Arruebarrena joins Puig and Alex Guererro as three Cubans signed by the Dodgers in the past two years. Los Angeles also drafted pitcher Onelki Garcia in 2012. He defected to the United States in 2010. Puig said he has known Arruebarrena since he was 9-years-old and their families are acquainted. Through an interpreter, Puig said through a translator that their families know each other. He called Arruebarrena good player. Hanley Ramirez goes into 2014 as the Dodgers starting shortstop. Colletti, however, said that Ramirez would be willing to move to third base at some point. Arruebarrena has played third and second base. "But we see him as a shortstop," Colletti said of Arruebarrena. The contract includes a $7.5 million signing bonus. His salaries will be $1.5 million this year, $3 million in 2015, $4 million in 2016 and 2017, and $5 million in 2018.

Toronto hosted the Red Wings on Friday and dropped a 4-1 decision at Air Canada Centre. The setback halted the Leafs two-game winning streak, while Detroit snapped a two-game slide of its own with the victory. Johan Franzen scored twice and Henrik Zetterberg had four assists to lead the Red Wings in Fridays encounter. Zetterberg entered the game with just one assist on the season before breaking out with a four-point night against the Leafs. (Zetterberg) is the leader of our team and we expect him to be good, Detroit head coach Mike Babcock said. When hes not, we expect him to respond, and he did tonight. Gustav Nyquist continued his quick start to the season, scoring in his fourth straight game to begin 2014-15. He has four goals and one assist. Justin Abdelkader netted the other goal for Detroit, while Jimmy Howard made 23 saves in the win. Jonas Gustavsson will see his first action of the season on Saturday, as Howards backup expects to face his former team for the first time. Gustavsson spent three seasons with the Maple Leafs from 2009-10 to 2011-12. Red Wings placed goaltender Jimmy Howard onn the 48-hour injured reserve with a sore groin.dddddddddddd General manager Ken Holland made the announcement Saturday afternoon. Franzen, meanwhile, is questionable for the home-and-home finale after leaving Fridays tilt midway through the second period. The Swedish forward was unable to return after suffering leg spasms, but theres a chance he could be play tonight. Mike Santorelli supplied Torontos lone goal and James Reimer allowed all four goals on 35 shots in defeat. Extremely disappointed, Toronto head coach Randy Carlyle said. We played too much on our heels in the defensive zone. Jonathan Bernier will likely start in net for the Leafs tonight. He is 2-2-1 with a 3.06 goals against average in seven career games against Detroit. The Leafs will be without forward Brandon Kozun after the rookie suffered a lower-body injury in the second period of Fridays contest. Matt Frattin will replace Kozun in the lineup tonight. Detroits victory on Friday gives the club a three-game winning streak in this series. The Red Wings also have won four of five and five of the last seven meetings in this series. Although the Maple Leafs posted a victory in last seasons Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium, the Red Wings have claimed two in a row and four of the last five encounters at Joe Louis Arena.
