The long-time Diamondback, who has agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal, gives the Dodgers another option in left field.
are the left-handed options with Mookie Betts, Chris Taylor and Trayce Thompson the right-handed options.
Only Betts’ role – every-day right fielder – is a certainty with the others presenting Manager Dave Roberts with options in center and left field. Peralta has been primarily a left fielder during a nine-year career spent with the Diamondbacks until a midseason trade to the Tampa Bay Rays last season. A career .281 hitter with a .796 OPS, Peralta’s best seasons were 2018, when he hit .293 with 30 home runs and won a Silver Slugger award, and 2019, when he won a Gold Glove award.
Peralta began his playing career as a pitcher, signing with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004. After a series of injuries including two shoulder surgeries, the Cardinals released Peralta in 2009. He made a comeback as an outfielder, playing in independent leagues for three seasons before signing with the Diamondbacks and making the big leagues in 2014.
