After eight seasons with the Marlins, Miguel Rojas<\/strong> changed organizations this evening. Miami traded the infielder to the Dodgers in a one-for-one deal that sent infield prospect Jacob Amaya<\/strong> to South Florida.<\/p>\n Rojas is coming off a tough season in which he hit .237\/.282\/.324 through 504 trips to the plate. A right wrist issue seemed to play a role in that subpar offensive output, as the veteran underwent surgery in October to repair a torn triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). Craig Mish of SportsGrid reported this evening that Rojas had another minor issue arise recently and is expected to undergo another procedure to address the matter (twitter link<\/a>).<\/p>\n There’s no indication this latest issue will affect Rojas’ readiness for Spring Training, much less the start of the regular season. It’s clearly not of much concern to the Dodgers, who were no doubt made aware of it during trade discussions. Rojas acknowledged this evening there’s \u201cstill a couple things I need to figure out with the wrist<\/em>\u201d but added he’d \u201cbe ready for Spring Training if everything goes well<\/em>\u201d (via Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue<\/a>).<\/p>\n Rojas, 34 next month, adds a glove-first utility option to the mix in LA Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times writes the club plans to bounce the nine-year MLB veteran around the infield in a multi-positional capacity. That leaves open the possibility of Gavin Lux<\/strong> taking the primary shortstop job, with Max Muncy<\/strong> and Chris Taylor<\/strong> on hand to see time at second and third base (and for Taylor to continue logging plenty of outfield action). Top prospect Miguel Vargas<\/strong> is expected to get a chance at the hot corner as well.<\/p>\n
