Surprising veteran emerging as Dodgers utility solution in spring training

Dodgers fans definitely forgot that former second overall pick Nick Senzel was still in the organization ... and then he was a non-roster invitee to spring training.

Senzel signed a minor league deal with LA in April 2025 but never cracked the majors. Turns out, that deal was a two-year contract, so he didn't have to go back onto the market looking for what would probably be another minor league deal.

He hit .252 with a .749 OPS, 12 homers, and 62 RBI in 96 games in Triple-A Oklahoma City. That might be okay if he was still a top prospect who had just been promoted to Triple-A, but it's less so for a 30-year-old trying to claw his way back to the majors.
