The Los Angeles Dodgers signed infielder Hector Olivera to a 6 year, $62.5 million deal, per reports by the national writer types on Twitter.

Olivera, 30, defected from Cuba in September, 2014.  He's been primarily a second baseman, but there are apparently concerns about his elbow and whether it will hold up, which has impacted his market and his value.
