The Dodgers are adding Santiago Espinal on a minor league deal, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Espinal is in big-league camp with the team. The veteran infielder is a client of Rimas Sports Agency.
The Espinal news comes on the heels of the announcement that Tommy Edman will begin the year on the IL, which manager Dave Roberts shared with reporters (including Ardaya) this morning. Edman is coming off ankle surgery and was known to be taking a gradual approach to building up for the regular season.
Roberts mentioned Miguel Rojas, Alex Freeland, and Hyeseong Kim as candidates to pick up work at second base (relayed by Sonja Chen of MLB.com). Espinal could join that mix if he makes the team.
More to come…
They’re ruining baseball with their 105 wins every year and beating everyone. Oh wait, they’re Nottheyankees, never mind. Go Dodgers!
Ignorance! That’s why there will be a strike, and let’s see how you feel after that. That’s why teams aren’t paying, except for like 8 teams. Fans will be fewer and fewer, and owners won’t pay since the Dodgers are paying on another level. And before you say owners should just pay and spend and spend, it’s a business! Not every business makes the same money. You wouldn’t expect a small hotel to pay the same as Virgin Hotels, would you?
Before you yell ignorance, you might want to learn the difference between a strike and a lockout
The irony…..
You know exactly what I meant and there will be people striking. Dodgers fans are selfish. You will be begging for baseball.
The funny thing is you dont remember 94 do you? That was a strike as well. Foolish fake fans.
@TakerDbacks! There won’t be a strike. Shut up.
You haven’t a clue. Both sides will sabre rattle for a bit and then the games will go on. Every party in baseball is making plenty of money. They aren’t going to upend the 27 season in spite of uninformed whiny fans like you,.
Tough guy make me. If this keeps up there will be 1000%. Its sickening for baseball. And bum fans like you dont care
I been a diehard fan for 37 years and calling me whiny is hilarious cause I dont agree with something that most people dont agree with. Tough keyboard warrior. Spending 60 mil for one player per year on top of everything they have is into the billions and you think its fine for baseball? Jackass
blah blah blah. empty comments, empty mind.
Great argument. Proved my point. Say all your generic crap but prove me wrong like a man with facts.
Your repetitive whining speaks for itself.
I would expect that and more
Blah blah blah.
His numbers have been pretty bad as of late, but minor league depth is always needed.
I wonder if all parties agreed to defer a portion of his minor league salary to get the deal done?
How original.
The Dodgers are ruining MiLB.
LOL
Espinal was one of the worst hitters in all baseball last season.
@raul
Well then there go the Dodgers 3- peat chances.
Great signing. This guy should have had a full time opportunity a long time ago.
