Former Red Nick Senzel, Dodgers reach minor-league deal, per report

Former Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Nick Senzel agreed to a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a report via Twitter/X from El Extrabase’s Daniel Alvarez-Montes.

Alvarez-Montes added that Senzel had a 1.790 OPS with three homers and 10 RBIs in 10 games with the Mexican League’s Tecolotes De Los Dos Laredos.

Senzel signed in March with the Mexican League team. Last August, the former Red who was the second overall pick in the 2016 MLB draft from University of Tennessee, was designated for assignment by the Chicago White Sox.

Senzel, who turns 30 years old in June, had three hits in 32 plate appearances over 10 games with the White Sox, with a walk and eight strikeouts.

Senzel hit a go-ahead, two-run home run for the Reds in the 10th inning against the Washington Nationals on July 6, 2023. Senzel, who signed a one-year deal with the Nats in December 2023, was designated for assignment by Washington exactly one year after that homer.

Senzel was slated to start last year’s Nats’ Opening Day game against the Reds at Great American Ball Park, but he broke his thumb before the game.

Senzel played five seasons for Cincinnati, with a career-high 420 plate appearances in 2022. He batted .239 with 33 homers for the Reds between 2019 and 2023.
