Dodgers' Joe Jacques: Inks minors deal with LAD

Jacques signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday that includes an invitation to spring training, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Jacques spent most of his time in the minors last season, turning in a 5.40 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 41.2 innings between the Red Sox's and Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliates. Given the 29-year-old lefty's subpar performance and the Dodgers' existing pitching depth, chances are Jacques spends the majority of the year at Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2025.
