Dodgers, Saito in 'staredown' Takashi Saito, the National League's best reliever over the past two years according to the Elias Rankings, could be non-tendered Friday, as Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti described contract negotiations "a staredown right now." Saito, 39 in Feburary, earned $2 million this year and the Dodgers don't want to engage in an arbitration process that could double the figure because of uncertainty over a partially torn elbow ligament. He was sidelined for two months during the season and had the club leave him off the roster for the NL Championship Series. He's been offered an incentive-laden contract, but if he doesn't take it, the club might cut him loose into a soft free-agent market. Because of Saito's situation, the Dodgers are looking for an affordable veteran reliever. Trevor Hoffman's name has surfaced, but the club's interest appears to be lukewarm. -- Ken Gurnick http://hotstove.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/12/dodgers_saito_in_staredown.html 道奇跟齋藤對合約似乎出現歧見， 道奇可能會不對他提出合約 --
