The Dodgers and Rays have agreed to a trade that will send second baseman Logan Forsythe to Los Angeles in exchange for prospect Jose De Leon, the teams announced on Monday night.
Forsythe, 30, hit a career-high 20 home runs last season in just 127 games, batting .264. He’ll help stabilize a Dodgers infield that already counts Justin Turner and Rookie of the Year Corey Seager as starters. With incumbent starter Chase Utley a free agent, Forsythe will likely start some games, sharing time with utility man Kikè Hernandez.
De Leon, a 24-year-old righthander, was one of the top 25 prospects in all of baseball entering last season, according to Baseball America.
