Nick Robertson, a right-handed reliever drafted by the Dodgers in 2019, made his major league debut with Los Angeles in 2023 before being traded for Kiké Hernández, who signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers, Ari Alexander of 7News in Boston reported.
Robertson had a 4.30 ERA with 52 strikeouts and 30 hits in 52 1/3 innings in 43 games in Triple-A last season between the Astros and Royals systems. The 27-year-old right-hander has pitched in the majors with the Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals and Blue Jays in 2023-24.
The addition of Kyle Tucker certainly enhances the Dodgers’ outfield productivity and lineup. MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince paid special attention to the combination of Tucker, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith, who all posted at least 140 OPS+ last season, and that’s a rare combination of four.

The Defector’s David Ross looks back at the past few days and how Tucker’s signing sparked more action and reaction from some of the highest-spending teams. The Mets originally selected Tucker, but now they’re turning to Bo Bichette, who they plan to use at a new position. This left the Phillies chasing Bichette empty-handed, and they re-signed catcher JT Realmuto.
