Los Angeles baseball just got a heavy injection of heat by signing Japan’s Hiroki Kuroda to a three-year deal in the ballpark of $40 million.

Kuroda went 103-89 with a 3.69 ERA in 244 starts with the Hiroshima Carp of the Japanese Central League.

The Dodgers are looking to put Kuroda in the third or forth spot of their rotation, and they’ve already welcomed their newest pitcher with a special “care package” to help enhance his on-field performance.

Take the Blue pill.

Take the Blue pill.

Take the Blue pill.
