The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired infielder Breyvic Valera in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for outfielder Johan Mieses. With Valera being added to the mix, the Dodgers now have a full 40-man roster once again.
Valera is a 26-year-old switch-hitter out of Venezuela who was recently designated for assignment by the Cardinals. His only Major League experience came last year with St. Louis when he appeared in five games, going 1-for-10 with a walk.
In eight Minor League seasons he’s a lifetime .303/.359/.386 hitter, while belting 13 home runs and driving in 304 runs.
