The Los Angeles Dodgers are at it again. If you thought they were done making moves this MLB offseason, think again because they just added another name to their ever-growing roster. This time, Dodgers sign former Braves postseason hero.
This time, former NLCS MVP and World Series champion Eddie Rosario is joining the team on a minor-league deal according to MLB Insider. And let’s be real—this is classic Dodgers behavior.
They love stacking their depth chart with experienced veterans, and Rosario fits the bill perfectly.
Flashback to Rosario’s Postseason Heroics With the Braves
Let’s talk about Rosario for a second. This guy was an absolute monster for the Atlanta Braves during their 2021 World Series run.
He tore through the postseason, putting up a ridiculous 1.073 OPS with three homers and 11 RBIs in 16 games. He was the guy who torched the Dodgers in the NLCS and walked away with MVP honors.
That version of Rosario was clutch, fearless, and exactly the kind of player who thrives under October pressure.
A Rough Stretch in Recent Years
Last season, Rosario bounced between the Nationals and Braves, appearing in 91 games and struggling mightily at the plate.
His WAR? A brutal -1.6. His OPS? A rough .531. It’s safe to say he hasn’t been the same player who helped Atlanta hoist that championship trophy.
That being said, the Dodgers have a reputation for getting the best out of players who seem to be on the downswing. They’ve done it before—just look at how J.D. Martinez revitalized his career last season or how Jason Heyward found new life in L.A.
If there’s any team that can help Rosario find his swing again, it’s this one.
A Low-Risk Move with Upside
What’s the best-case scenario here? Maybe Rosario finds a spark in L.A., rediscovers some of that postseason magic, and gives the Dodgers another left-handed bat with pop.
Worst case? It’s a low-risk, minor-league deal, so no harm done if it doesn’t work out.
Either way, the Dodgers keep proving they’re the busiest team in baseball this winter. With all the moves they’ve made, they’re not just aiming for another postseason run—they want it all.
