LOS ANGELES — There is always some level of uncertainty when introducing a new player to the team, but the Dodgers are pretty well acquainted with new second baseman Logan Forsythe.
He was drafted by the Padres in 2008 out of the University of Arkansas, and made his major league debut in 2011. In Forsythe’s three years in San Diego, current Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was his first base coach.
Forsythe was traded along with reliever Brad Boxberger to the Rays in January 2014 in a seven-player deal that saw pitchers Jesse Hahn and Alex Torres go to the Padres.
