UPDATE (2:22PM CT): Here is Gurnick's new story confirming the agreement with O-Dog, with details of the deal included.

UPDATE (2:16pm CT): Think this isn't done or not happening? Earlier today, it was reported that the Dodgers had begun talks with Orlando Cabrera as possibility at second base. Ken Gurnick's story, which was posted on the Dodger website earlier, has since been removed.

UPDATE (2:08pm CT): A little bit more here from Tony Jackson of the Daily News. Check out the response from Ned and Kim Ng when PR guy Josh Rawitch asked them about the same XM report I heard...
**********
Just heard on MLB Home Plate on Sirius XM that the Blue have agreed to a one-year deal with Orlando Hudson. A physical is all that's pending. There's a blurb here on MLBTradeRumors.com. No other info was provided, but I can tell you this:
The Dodgers have just solidified their middle infield defense with this, and have added a nice #2 hitter to their line-up. Re-upping with Manny would make this look even better. Git 'er done, Ned!
The downside to all this? Two things... One, Blake DeWitt could be the odd man out (granted it would be for only one year) if they do re-sign Manny. (Without Manny, the Dodgers could shuffle Casey Blake to the outfield and put DeWitt at third. This scenario obviously still leaves Juan Pierre without a job.) And two, the Dodgers lose their #17 pick in this year's draft to Arizona because Hudson was a Type-A free agent.
