"The Dodgers still lacked in infield depth, and they have been on the search for some depth at the position. They have now found at least one potential option as the Dodgers have signed Santiago Espinal to a Minor League deal, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic: It's a minor league deal, but he will be in big league camp. https://t.co/ZbG7RTwwKn - Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) February 16, 2026"
"Espinal has played parts of six seasons at the Major League level, last appearing in a game for the Cincinnati Reds in 2025. He also spent four years with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 31-year-old had his best season in 2022 with the Blue Jays when he was named an All-Star and hit .267/.322/.370 with a 100 wRC+ and 2.4 WAR for the season."
Spring Training has started but the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to adjust their roster, re-signing Evan Phillips and Kiké Hernández while losing Anthony Banda, Ben Rortvedt and Andy Ibáñez and re-adding Michael Siani. The club signed Santiago Espinal to a Minor League deal and will have him in major-league camp to compete for a right-handed bench spot. Espinal has six MLB seasons, last appearing with the Cincinnati Reds in 2025 and spending four years with the Toronto Blue Jays. His best season came in 2022 as an All-Star with a .267/.322/.370 line, 100 wRC+ and 2.4 WAR. He offers defensive versatility at every position except center field and catcher despite a below-average offensive career.
