Brett Anderson betting on himself with another 1-year deal

LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers starting pitcher Brett Anderson will return in 2016 on a one-year, $15.8 million deal, and he said Monday that his decision on Friday to accept the qualifying offer rather than test the free agent market was two-fold.

"There were a couple multi-year offers but I wanted to bet on myself. I liked everything in LA, my teammates, everything about it but the ending," Anderson said on a conference call. "Returning on a one-year deal, hopefully I can get the stigma of my health record off my back and go into next season and see what happens.
