Dodgers Sign Santiago Espinal to Minor-League Deal
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed free-agent infielder Santiago Espinal to a minor-league deal on Monday, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Espinal will be in spring training with the big-league team and will provide infield depth if he remains with the World Series champions going into the regular season. He will most likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, but he'll provide depth for the Dodgers with both Tommy Edman (ankle) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow) slated to open the season on the injured list. The 31-year-old Dominican hit .243/.292/.282 with a career-worst .575 OPS, no home runs, 16 RBI, 25 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 2025 in 301 at-bats with the Cincinnati Reds. Espinal was originally a 10th-round pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2016. In his six years in the majors, Espinal sports a .261/.316/.349 slash line, .665 OPS, and 20 homers in 578 games.
