Nick Senzel, a former top prospect, has signed a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers that includes an invitation to spring training. Senzel spent the 2025 season in the minors with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City, where he hit .252 with 12 home runs and 62 RBIs.

Why it matters

Senzel was once considered one of the top young talents in baseball, but injuries and inconsistent play have derailed his career so far. This minor-league deal gives him another opportunity to prove he can contribute at the major-league level, and the Dodgers have a history of developing overlooked players into valuable contributors.

The details

Senzel, 26, will get a chance to compete for a roster spot with the Dodgers in spring training. He spent the 2025 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he hit .252 with 12 home runs, 62 RBIs, 7 stolen bases and 51 runs scored in 96 games.

  • Senzel signed the minor-league deal with the Dodgers on Monday, February 10, 2026.
