The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, though the announcement of his signing has been delayed due to the roster being full.
The Dodgers need to make a move before announcing Tucker, whether by trading or designating a player for assignment. It could be the moving of an organizational depth piece rather than a blockbuster, but there are rumors of them targeting an All-Star arm.
Freddy Peralta is one of the hottest names in the trade market, getting interest from most contending teams.
The Brewers are hoping to deal him before he hits free agency, since they will not be able to afford him.
He is on a below-market-value salary for the upcoming season, and he ended up inking a contract extension with a team that trades for him — a move that the Dodgers tend to favor.
The Dodgers are in the running for Peralta, but considering their starting pitching depth, it is hard to see them get too aggressive.
In other news, Andy Pages will not represent Team Cuba in the World Baseball Classic, a notable blow to the team’s chances in the tournament.
However, he is focusing on improving for the upcoming season, an exciting development for Los Angeles
“I have a lot of things to improve, and I need to prepare for a long season,” Pages said. “I have to focus on what’s most important.”
