One of the first moves of the offseason for the Dodgers was signing outfielder Jason Heyward to a minor-league contract. Heyward was a superstar for the Braves and Cardinals before signing a huge deal with the Cubs after the 2015 season, but his career has gone downhill since. Los Angeles is hoping to revitalize that career and help Heyward rediscover the form that had him looking like a future Hall of Famer early in his career.
Late in the offseason, LA signed David Peralta, who, like Heyward, is an outfielder who throws and bats left-handed.
