Michael Chavis had raw power and multiple memorable home runs in his short career with the Boston Red Sox.
Boston eventually dealt him to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the 2021 MLB trade deadline for reliever Austin Davis. He spent time with the Washington Nationals as well and briefly signed a deal with the Seattle Mariners. Now, Chavis has another home in the National League and one that gives him a chance to win.
Chavis signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers with a non-roster invite to spring training, per The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya. He becomes the latest player in the Dodgers’ clubhouse with Red Sox connections from Mookie Betts to Kiké Hernandez to Ryan Brasier to manager Dave Roberts.
The Dodgers dominated their way to a World Series championship and further stacked the roster with notable additions this offseason. Chavis looks to rebuild his stock around a game and does so with one of the sport’s premiere organizations.
