[Reporter Lin Youchen/Comprehensive Report] American media reported that the Dodgers signed right-hander Rubby De La Rosa, who will turn 34 in March, with a minor league contract.

Dila Rosa was a rookie for the Dodgers. The last time he appeared in the major leagues was in 2017 on behalf of the Diamondbacks. He has played for the Japanese Giants for the past four seasons.

Dela Rosa made his debut in the major leagues in 2011, and then played for the Dodgers for two seasons, then transferred to the Red Sox and Diamondbacks. He was once a starting rotation member in both the Red Sox and Diamondbacks. He played in 98 games and has a 4.49 ERA, but the last time he appeared in the major leagues was 6 years ago.

De La Rosa had ligament surgery in 2017, and after stopping pitching for more than a year, he signed a minor league contract with the Diamondbacks in 2019, but he terminated the contract in the middle of the season and moved to Japan.

In the 4 seasons of the Japanese Giants, Dila Rosa mostly played the role of relay. Last year, he played 30 games and contributed 11 relays, with a defense rate of 2.30. In the 4 seasons of Japanese career, he played 137 games and 124.1 innings. The defense rate is 2.53.

Di Larosa switched to backup during his Japanese career and played well.

The American media believes that Dila Rosa will fight for a seat in the Dodgers bullpen this time when he returns to the Dodgers team that he played for at the beginning of his career.

Dela Rosa, who once represented the Dodgers as the best pitcher in the minor leagues, was traded to the Red Sox by the Dodgers in the middle of the 2012 season. The Dodgers used James Loney, Iván De Jesús and Webster (Allen Webster), traded to the Red Sox for Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, Adrián González and Nick Punto.

At that time, there were two players named in the Dodgers package in the future, namely De La Rosa and Jerry Sands, the former Hanshin foreign gun who later moved to the Asian arena.
