The Dodgers signed veteran utilityman to a minor league contract with an invitation to big league spring training, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Owings, an ACES client, has already arrived at Dodgers camp today, he adds. Though hes appeared in each of the past 11 MLB seasons, Owings is still just 32 years old and wont turn 33 until mid-August. He suited up for 11 games with the Pirates in 2023 his sixth MLB club and appeared in 11 games. Owings went 4-for-25 (all singles) with a dozen strikeouts and no walks. He fared better with the Bucs Triple-A club, slashing .241 Dean Kremer Jersey /.349/.449 with 15 homers in 371 trips to the plate. Owings is a career .239/.286/.364 hitter in 2489 MLB plate appearances. Hes played every position on the diamond other than catcher and first base, though the bulk of his career has been spent as a middle infielder. Given the infield depth the Dodgers po se s already, it seems like Owings will wind up being stashed as a depth piece in Triple-A (or perhaps catching on with another club later in spring). Los Angeles has at first base, at second base, a returning at shortstop and at the hot corner. Veterans and offer versatile options from the bench, and former top prospect remains on the 40-man roster as an option whos likely ticketed for regular at-bats in Triple-A to begin the season.
