The last two weeks were very busy on the minor league side for the Dodgers, and we recount all the moves on this week’s podcast.
The annual question of “who will be the next Brandon Morrow” might actually be Brandon Morrow, who is back on a minor league contract. Joining Morrow as non-roster invitees at Camelback Ranch in 2021 are fellow old friends Jimmy Nelson, Brock Stewart, and Tim Federowicz, plus infielder Carlos Asuaje and pitcher James Pazos.
In the Rule 5 Draft, the Dodgers lost two pitchers at the major league level, with Brett de Geus picked by the Rangers and Jordan Sheffield taken by the Rockies. On the minor league side, six Dodgers found new homes, and they added a pair of minor leaguers in Ryan January and Roimer Bolivar.
