David Peralta Leaving Dodgers to Sign With NL Central Squad

Former Dodgers outfielder David Peralta is heading to the Chicago Cubs for next season. FanSided’s Robert Murray was the one to break the news of the agreement.

According to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, Peralta is signing a non-roster deal with the Cubs.

The veteran outfielder likely is looking for a similar role to what he had last season with the Dodgers. He appeared in 133 games for Los Angeles, hitting .259 with seven home runs and 55 runs batted in.

Peralta was a consistent presence in the Dodgers lineup a year ago, and he showed that he still has some fuel left in the tank. He helped the team get through some tough stretches early on, earning his role as a leader in the clubhouse.

Chicago has been looking for an additional outfielder all offseason, so Peralta will certainly be in the mix for a role with the team. With this signing, you have to wonder how this affects the Cubs’ potential pursuit of former Dodgers MVP Cody Bellinger.

Either way, Peralta should make the Chicago roster and provide them with a nice veteran to help guide the team forward. He holds a career batting average of .279 with 117 home runs and 541 runs batted in.
