Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers added another proven veteran bat to their lineup, signing long-time Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta to a one year deal. The 35-year-old spent the majority of his major league career with the Diamondbacks up until he was traded to Tampa Bay last year.
Peralta has already earned a reputation as a consistent left-handed hitter and is sure to benefit LA. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi voiced his opinions about the new pick up and what he expects Peralta’s impact to be on the team:
“Tremendous bat, for me. … He can move around the outfield for you, certainly knows the division very well, gives you a steady presence from the left side.
