| 11/26/23 | 2023 Dodgers in review: Eddys Leonard. Eddys Leonard began 2023 as a Dodgers shortstop in Double-A Tulsa and ended it playing several positions in Triple-A Toledo as a member of the Tigers organization. Leonard and fellow then-High-A middle infielder Jorbit Vivas were aggressive additions to the Dodgers' 40-man roster in November 2021, to avoid potentially losing them in a Rule 5 Draft that never came, though nobody knew the draft would be canceled (a casualty of the lockout) at the time. Leonard's second year on the 40-man roster got off to a terrible start, with no extra-base hits in 20 games in April with Double-A Tulsa while hitting just .129 (9-for-70 with 10 walks).
