Dodgers: Yoshi Tsutsugo Calls it an ‘Honor’ to Play for LA, Looking to Get Swing Back

Sure, the other guy the Dodgers picked up over the weekend isn’t as decorated as future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols, but the LA front office is looking for just as much production out of him. Yoshi Tsutsugo came to the Dodgers from the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade last Saturday and got into his first starting lineup on Tuesday.

Before the game, Yoshi called it an honor to join the Dodgers and said he’s looking to fit right in with the club and with the rich Japanese culture here in Los Angeles. But perhaps most importantly — at least on paper — is what he can do at the plate with his new team.
