The Los Angeles Dodgers loaded Kenta Maeda's contract with performance incentives after laying down a $20 million posting fee to pluck him from Japan's top league. The Dodgers hand the ball to Maeda for their home opener Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks looking to bounce back after faltering in the late innings over the weekend. Maeda, who celebrated his 28th birthday Monday, signed an eight-year contract in January that guarantees him $25 million, but clauses in the deal allow him to earn up to $106.2 million if he meets benchmarks that include number of starts and innings pitched.
