"Free agent center fielder Juan Pierre has agreed to a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a source told ESPN.com on Monday. The deal is believed to be worth $44-45 million.
The deal will become complete when Pierre passes a physical exam, the source said.
Pierre, 29, is a .303 hitter over seven seasons with Colorado, Florida and the Chicago Cubs. He led the National League with 204 hits in 2006.
The San Francisco Giants were also interested in Pierre, and had offered him a four-year deal in the $32-34 million range, a source said."

Phew! I'm really glad Pierre wasn't our plan for CF. He's the most one dimensional player in baseball IMO.
Re: Pierre agree to five-year deal with Dodgers
You have no idea how happy I am to know he's not coming to the Queen City.
That would have been a David Bell-esque pile of money burned on that type contract. Almost Milton-esque.
We can finally put to bed the myth for all the people with manlove for Juan Pierre that he's coming to Cincinnati.
Re: Pierre agree to five-year deal with Dodgers
Good gravy! $9mil/year for Juan Pierre?
Re: Pierre agree to five-year deal with Dodgers
wow
I don't like Pierre at all , much less for that ridiculous contract
Re: Pierre agree to five-year deal with Dodgers
That is a lot of Jack-n-Jill for him, too much.
Re: Pierre agree to five-year deal with Dodgers
How can it be so obvious that it is a horrible deal, yet it was done anyway? Jeez...

Re: Pierre agree to five-year deal with Dodgers
Does this mean that they essentially traded JD Drew for Juan Pierre? How much was Drew asking for?
Re: Pierre agree to five-year deal with Dodgers
Looks like Lofton's gonna be on his 11th different team next year.

My thought is, even with his age a team is better off with Lofton rather than Pierre.
