Hong-Chih Kuo has signed a one year deal with the Seattle Mariners.
From Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times {linked here}
If Hong-Chih Kuo recaptures the magic that made him baseball’s most dominant reliever in 2010, he won’t do it with the Dodgers.
The former All-Star left-hander has signed a one-year major league contract with the Seattle Mariners, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been officially announced.
The Dodgers didn’t tender a contract offer this winter to Kuo, who earned $2.725 million last season and was due for a raise in the salary arbitration process. They maintained contact with him, but sounded reluctant to offer him a major league contract because of his medical history.
Kuo underwent his fifth elbow operation in October. He was also sidelined more than a month last season because of anxiety disorder.
Good luck in Seattle. I'll catch you at Angels Stadium.

He was the ONLY current dodger to return cards signed thru the mail. Not Kershaw, Kemp, Loney, Broxton, etc. This guy is real class - dodgers should have kept him.
