McCarthy's deal with the Dodgers has been finalized, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports. There was a slight delay in finalizing the deal after McCarthy had reportedly agreed to the contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday. McCarthy will open the season as the team's No. 4 starter, while looking to build off of a very good 2014 campaign that included an increased strikeout rate when he returned to throwing his cutter after being acquired by the Yankees mid-season.
