The Dodgers continue to try to add position player depth while they await the decision of Freddie Freeman. LA signed former Royals infielder Hanser Alberto to a deal over the weekend and according to reports, signed third baseman Jake Lamb to a minor league deal on Monday. If the third baseman and outfielder makes the team, he’s set to earn $1.5M.
Lamb was an NL All-Star with the Diamondbacks in 2017, but has struggled mightily ever since. The 31-year-old slashed .194/.306/.368 last year between the Chicago White Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Dodgers are hoping they can work their magic with Lamb to give the club a left-handed bat they can plug in off the bench.
