2-year deal. Terms yet undisclosed, though it's likely in the $10mm/yr range.

Hopefully he stays relatively healthy the next couple of years. If so, good deal for the dodgers. Does this mean their not ready to hand the reigns over to Loney?

LOL when was the last time before this past year he was healthy, and by the end of the season he was beaten and broken

Broken maybe but beaten? He breathed a lot of life into the Dodgers this past season and there are quite a few other "beaten and broken" players who get paid far more that Nomar and played less and/or performed less last season

I am not saying that he didn't carry the team there for a while but when it came to playoff time he was just too beaten up to really make a difference. He is like a 45 year old in a mid 30's body, face it he is an at bat away from a long stint on the DL, as are people like Griffey, Drew, Prior, Wood, etc. I hope for his sake that he can stay healthy because I like him as a player, but I would not be shocked if he didn't make it through another season.
