Ten-year deal for LA catcher

Catcher Will Smith and the Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a $140 million, 10-year contract Wednesday, raising the team’s spending to nearly $1.4 billion for five key players since December. Smith’s deal supersedes an $8.85 million, one-year agreement reached in January. He opened the last week by going 5 for 10 with two RBI as the Dodgers split a two-game series against San Diego at Seoul, South Korea. The 28-year-old was a first-time All-Star last year, when he hit .261 with 19 home runs and 76 RBI. Smith has a .263 average with 91 home runs and 308 RBI in six seasons with the Dodgers.
