Dodgers News: Dave Roberts Envisions Miguel Vargas Playing a Big Role for LA Next Season

Dodgers prospect Miguel Vargas was the Triple-A Prospect of the Year in 2022, posting a .915 OPS in 520 plate appearances with Oklahoma City. His cup of coffee with Los Angeles wasn’t as successful — while he showed flashes of his offensive potential, overall he had just a .455 OPS in 50 plate appearances in the big leagues.

Still, L.A. remains extremely high on Vargas, as manager Dave Roberts said on the Starkville Podcast on Thursday. And while Doc stopped short of guaranteeing Vargas would be on the Opening Day roster, he says we should expect to see a lot of Miggy in 2023.
