A closer look at new Dodgers infielder Jake Peter

Relief pitcher Scott Alexander was the headliner for the Dodgers in their three-team trade with the Royals and White Sox on Thursday, but the club also added utility man Jake Peter as part of the deal.

Peter came from Chicago’s system, where he has split time between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte in each of the last two seasons.

The lefty-batting, righty-throwing utility man was drafted by the White Sox in the seventh round of the 2014 draft out of Creighton, and hit .279/.344/.417 with 35 extra-base hits in 120 games in 2017.
