The Dodgers Other Clayton

There will only ever be one Clayton Kershaw but the Dodgers did sign another Clayton on January 17. They had previously selected left-hander Clayton Andrews in the 40th round of the 2017 First-Year Player Draft but he didn’t sign. He did so with the Brewers in 2018.

The new Clayton on the block is 24-year-old infielder Clayton Daniel. He was acquired from the Cubs in a trade for right-hander Casey Sadler who became the odd-man out with the Dodgers even though he pitched quite well for them during the 2019 season.

Daniel had been selected by the Cubs in the 31st round of the 2018 June Draft and has spent two seasons in their minor league system playing 70 games at second base, 10 at third base and 30 at shortstop.
