The Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday acquired third baseman David Freese in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for minor league infielder Jesus Manuel Valdez.
Freese has played in 94 games for Pittsburgh this season, hitting .282 with 29 runs, 10 doubles, one triple, nine home runs and 42 RBI along with a .780 OPS. The veteran infielder hits lefties well, going 31-for-109 (.284) this season. Freese has similar numbers this season against righties, hitting .281 (36-for-128).
The 35-year-old has mostly played third base in his career, but can also play first base.
