LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers have agreed to terms with 15 free agents, including longtime big league shortstop Juan Castro.

The 36-year-old Castro signed with the Dodgers in 1991 and began his major league career with them four years later. He has a .228 batting average in 984 career games with the Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, Minnesota Twins and Baltimore Orioles.

Castro appeared in a combined 61 games with the Reds and Orioles last season, hitting .193 with two homers and 16 RBIs.

The Dodgers said today they agreed to terms with right-handers Yhency Brazoban, Travis Chick, Nick DeBarr, Edgar Martinez and Scott Strickland; left-handers Carmen Cali, Brian Mazone, Jacobo Meque, Stephen Randolph and Erick Threets; first basemen-outfielders Mitch Jones and Val Pascucci; and infielders Hector Luna and Luis Maza.

The 28-year-old Brazoban missed most of last season with right shoulder ailments stemming from a torn labrum in 2007. In five big league seasons from 2004-08 — all with the Dodgers — he went 10-12 with 21 saves and a 4.70 ERA in 116 games.
