The Dodgers are always active in the Dominican Republic market and the trend continued this offseason with the additions of 18-year-old catcher, Frank Rodriguez and 17-year-old shortstop Bladimir De La Rosa.
The Dodgers have signed international free agent, Bladimir De La Rosa to a minor league deal. De La Rosa is a 17-year-old shortstop from The Dominican Republic.

The reason the two were grouped together on this slide is that I don’t know much about either of them. Besides their ages, information on their playing abilities and scouting reports is extremely limited.
What I can tell you with almost 100 percent certainty is both will more than likely be staying in The Dominican Republic to play for the Dodgers’ summer league teams. As I find out more information about both of these young players I will update this slide and post the updates on Twitter.
