The Dodgers announced their non-roster invitees for the upcoming 2023 Spring Training. Among the 26 players was none other than Yusniel Diaz — yes, that Yusniel Diaz.
Diaz was the headlining prospect of the Dodgers’ trade for SS Manny Machado back in 2018, and was expected to turn into a star in the league. However, in November, he was released by the Baltimore Orioles. Now, he’s found his way back to Los Angeles, the team that signed him out of Cuba in 2015.
Diaz was the Dodgers’ No. 5 prospect in 2018, when he headlined the package for Machado.
