The Detroit Tigers were unable to move starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Dodgers before Tuesday's MLB trade deadline, but they still acquired a player from the National League West Division leaders.
The Tigers landed infield prospect Eddys Leonard from Los Angeles for cash considerations. Leonard will be assigned to Triple-A Toledo.
Leonard, 22, is a right-handed bat out of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He spent six years in the Dodgers organization, reaching Double-A Tulsa this season, where he was hitting .254 with a .738 OPS. He had 20 doubles, 11 home runs and 44 RBIs in 92 games.
