Valenzuela reports to Dodgers camp without contract
Fernando Valenzuela, winner of the NL Cy Young last season, will report to Dodgers spring training in Vero Beach but will not sign a contract. He rejected an offer with incentives, saying negotiations have not proceeded beyond his side. Dodgers maintain no deal yet, and Valenzuela will earn about 350 dollars only if incentives are met, compared to 42,300 last year. The holdout drew criticism from Mexican Americans in Los Angeles.
