The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired outfielder Alek Thomas from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a minor trade, sending 17-year-old prospect Jose Requena in return. Despite Thomas’s five-year MLB experience and speed on the field, he has struggled offensively, with a career .230 batting average and just 31 home runs. The Dodgers plan to utilize Thomas in their minor leagues rather than on the MLB roster, replacing Michael Siani, who was DFA’d. The move is seen as an effort to bolster outfield depth, but Thomas’s future contributions remain uncertain.
