The Dodgers acquired Valaika from the Mariners on Tuesday, Alex Freedman of the Oklahoma City Dodgers reports.
Scouting Report
Has decent power for a middle infielder, and can also steal a base now and then. Defensively, he has enough ability to play shortstop at the big-league level. Does not hit for a good-enough average to play every day in Major League Baseball, so he must find his niche as a utility infielder to maximize playing time.
Long Range Potential: Utility infielder with a little upside.
