The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed AJ Ramos to a minor league contract.
In 2016, AJ Ramos was an All-Star closer for the Miami Marlins; last year, he was out of baseball due to ongoing shoulder issues. On Friday, news broke that the Los Angeles Dodgers have signed the 33-year-old right-hander to a minor league contract. He will be included on the 60-man player pool that will be eligible to play this season.
Just last week, Ramos tweeted a video of himself pitching and included his velocity and spin rate numbers superimposed on the film.
