Sun Feb 16 21:40:00 UTC 2025: **Dodgers Sign NLCS MVP Eddie Rosario to Minor League Deal**
LOS ANGELES, CA – February 15, 2025 – The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed veteran outfielder Eddie Rosario to a minor league contract, the team announced today. Rosario, a 10-year MLB veteran, most recently played for the Washington Nationals and New York Mets.
Rosario’s career is highlighted by his performance in the 2021 NLCS, where he earned MVP honors with an astounding 1.647 OPS against the Dodgers while playing for the Atlanta Braves. However, his performance has declined in recent seasons, resulting in his release from both Atlanta and Washington. In 2024, he posted a .175/.215/.316 slash line across 319 plate appearances.
The Dodgers’ signing of Rosario is considered a low-risk move. While he faces long odds to make the team’s already-stacked major league roster, a strong showing in spring training could earn him a spot on the team or attract interest from other clubs. The deal provides Rosario with an opportunity to showcase his skills and potentially revive his career. The Dodgers are known for their extensive scouting network, and their minor league system is often regarded as a pipeline for major league talent, giving Rosario an ideal environment to improve and possibly contribute in a significant way later in the season.
