A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. has reached a preliminary agreement on a $675,000, one-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because an agreement had not been announced.

Gwynn, son of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, became a free agent last week when the Padres failed to offer a 2011 contract.

He batted just .204 this year with three home runs and 20 RBIs. The 28-year-old has a .244 average with five home runs and 56 RBIs in five major league seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers and Padres.
