The Los Angeles Dodgers bolstered their pitching depth earlier this month with the signing of veteran reliever Nate Jones to a Minor League contract.
The 35-year-old was designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves after going 0-2 with a 3.48 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 12 appearances.
Jones perhaps is best known for his time with the Chicago White Sox (2012-19), where he established himself as one of the league’s better setup men. His previous success made him attractive to a slew of teams in addition to the Dodgers.
“We had a couple other teams involved, but the Dodgers seemed most enthusiastic and literally said, ‘We want you to be a part of this team,'” Jones said.
