The Los Angeles Dodgers offered Yasmani Grandal a qualifying offer at the beginning of the offseason, although he declined it in favor of reaching free agency for the first time in his career.
With the Dodgers having two top catching prospects in Keibert Ruiz and Will Smith that are both expected to be one year away from being Major-League ready, a return to the Dodgers seemed unlikely for Grandal as he was seeking a long-term contract.
As the offseason went by a lot of teams in search of catchers found other solutions, so it looked as if a return to the Dodgers could be possible if Grandal was willing to accept a short-term deal.
