Dodgers get Logan Forsythe from Rays for Jose De Leon
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired second baseman Logan Forsythe from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for pitching prospect Jose De Leon.
Forsythe solves the Dodgers' problem at second base, where they have been trying to pry Brian Dozier away from the Minnesota Twins all offseason. Forsythe will become the leadoff hitter and help their woes against left-handed pitching last season, where he hit .270 with a .461 slugging percentage. The 24-year-old De Leon is one of the Dodgers top pitching prospects, going 7-1 with a 2.65 ERA in 16 Triple-A starts last season.
Forsythe batted .264 with 20 home runs last season and is under team control for $15.5 million through 2018.
