Santiago Espinal, a former Los Angeles Dodgers infielder, signs with an NL West rival after making the team’s Opening Day roster, according to multiple reports. The move adds another infield option for his new club following his time in Los Angeles.

Both outlets characterize the signing as an unexpected development tied to Espinal’s roster status earlier in the season. While the reports do not focus on a detailed statistical or contract breakdown, they align on the core facts: Espinal previously played for the Dodgers, he secures a spot on their Opening Day roster, and then later reaches an agreement with a different NL West team.
