Coming off a <strong data-start=\"277\" data-end=\"301\">World Series victory<\/strong>, the Dodgers have been actively shoring up their pitching depth, and on Monday, they made a key move to further strengthen their relief corps. The team announced the signing of <strong data-start=\"479\" data-end=\"495\">Jordan Weems<\/strong>, a <strong data-start=\"499\" data-end=\"519\">six-year veteran<\/strong>, to a <strong data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"551\">minor league contract<\/strong> with an <strong data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"593\">invitation to spring training<\/strong>. This decision comes as the Dodgers look to bounce back from a bullpen that ranked a disappointing <strong data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"708\">21st in ERA<\/strong> among all MLB teams last season.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"814\"><strong data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"814\">Weems Brings Experience and Versatility to the Dodgers\u2019 Bullpen<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"1386\">While Weems\u2019 big league experience is relatively modest, with only <strong data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"913\">144 games over six seasons<\/strong>, his <strong data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"946\">long and varied journey<\/strong> offers the Dodgers a wealth of depth and <strong data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1010\">a unique skill set<\/strong>. <strong data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1045\">Drafted by the Boston Red Sox<\/strong> in the <strong data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1086\">third round of the 2011 draft<\/strong>, Weems initially entered the league as a <strong data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1139\">catcher<\/strong>\u2014an all-defense, no-hit backstop known for his <strong data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1205\">outstanding arm<\/strong> but struggling with the bat. His offensive limitations kept him at the <strong data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1295\">Single-A level<\/strong> for much of his early career, except for a brief stint with <strong data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1377\">Double-A Portland<\/strong> in 2015.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1713\">However, <strong data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1425\">Weems\u2019 career trajectory<\/strong> took a sharp turn when the Red Sox decided to convert him to a pitcher in 2016 after struggling to develop offensively. Despite several more years in the minors, <strong data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1625\">Weems found new life as a pitcher<\/strong>, eventually electing to become a free agent and signing with the <strong data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1712\">Oakland Athletics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1772\"><strong data-start=\"1719\" data-end=\"1772\">Weems Finds His Groove with the Oakland Athletics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1774\" data-end=\"2324\">It was with the <strong data-start=\"1790\" data-end=\"1811\">Oakland Athletics<\/strong> that <strong data-start=\"1817\" data-end=\"1843\">Weems found his rhythm<\/strong>. After receiving an <strong data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"1897\">invitation to spring training<\/strong> with Oakland, he impressed the coaching staff with his pitching, earning a spot on the <strong data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2007\">Opening Day roster<\/strong> in <strong data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2019\">2020<\/strong>. While the pandemic delayed the start of the season, Weems was able to make his debut with the Athletics, appearing in <strong data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2153\">nine games<\/strong> and logging <strong data-start=\"2166\" data-end=\"2180\">14 innings<\/strong> with a <strong data-start=\"2188\" data-end=\"2212\">respectable 3.21 ERA<\/strong>. His ability to <strong data-start=\"2229\" data-end=\"2254\">strike out 18 batters<\/strong> while walking only seven showcased his potential as a solid reliever.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2326\" data-end=\"2734\">However, <strong data-start=\"2335\" data-end=\"2376\">Weems couldn\u2019t replicate that success<\/strong> in the following season. In July 2021, Oakland designated him for assignment, and he was claimed off waivers by the <strong data-start=\"2493\" data-end=\"2517\">Arizona Diamondbacks<\/strong>. Unfortunately, his time with Arizona was brief and unsuccessful, as he gave up <strong data-start=\"2598\" data-end=\"2641\">seven earned runs in just 1 1\/3 innings<\/strong>. The Diamondbacks let him go, and <strong data-start=\"2676\" data-end=\"2722\">Weems signed with the Washington Nationals<\/strong> soon after.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2736\" data-end=\"2782\"><strong data-start=\"2740\" data-end=\"2782\">Best Stretch with Washington Nationals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/AP24210715127201_0da3f2.jpg?w=620\" alt=\"Dodgers avoid sweep, pull away to win in Houston \u2013 Orange County Register\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"3253\">It was with the <strong data-start=\"2800\" data-end=\"2824\">Washington Nationals<\/strong> where Weems saw his most productive run in the majors. Over <strong data-start=\"2885\" data-end=\"2902\">three seasons<\/strong>, Weems pitched in <strong data-start=\"2921\" data-end=\"2934\">124 games<\/strong>, logging <strong data-start=\"2944\" data-end=\"2959\">136 innings<\/strong> with a <strong data-start=\"2967\" data-end=\"2979\">5.04 ERA<\/strong>. He struck out <strong data-start=\"2995\" data-end=\"3010\">135 batters<\/strong> and walked <strong data-start=\"3022\" data-end=\"3028\">64<\/strong>, providing the Nationals with solid bullpen depth. While his ERA wasn\u2019t exceptional, his ability to work through innings and hold his own in high-leverage situations made him an important piece for Washington\u2019s relief corps.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3255\" data-end=\"3311\"><strong data-start=\"3259\" data-end=\"3311\">Weems&#8217; 2025 Struggles and the Astros Opportunity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3313\" data-end=\"3896\">In <strong data-start=\"3316\" data-end=\"3324\">2025<\/strong>, Weems started the year with the <strong data-start=\"3358\" data-end=\"3389\">Atlanta Braves organization<\/strong> but was released in <strong data-start=\"3410\" data-end=\"3417\">May<\/strong> after failing to make an impact. However, <strong data-start=\"3460\" data-end=\"3482\">the Houston Astros<\/strong> took a chance on him, signing him shortly after his release. He spent the bulk of the season with the <strong data-start=\"3585\" data-end=\"3613\">Sugar Land Space Cowboys<\/strong>, the Astros\u2019 <strong data-start=\"3627\" data-end=\"3649\">Triple-A affiliate<\/strong>, where he had a chance to refine his craft. Although he only appeared in <strong data-start=\"3723\" data-end=\"3737\">four games<\/strong> for the Astros at the <strong data-start=\"3760\" data-end=\"3780\">big league level<\/strong>, throwing <strong data-start=\"3791\" data-end=\"3806\">4.1 innings<\/strong> and allowing <strong data-start=\"3820\" data-end=\"3841\">seven earned runs<\/strong>, the team saw enough potential to take a flier on him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3898\" data-end=\"4239\">According to an analysis by <strong data-start=\"3926\" data-end=\"3954\">Matthew Moreno of SI.com<\/strong>, Weems brings a <strong data-start=\"3971\" data-end=\"4006\">fastball that averages 95.7 mph<\/strong>, which could be an intriguing pitch for the Dodgers to work with. The <strong data-start=\"4077\" data-end=\"4104\">Dodgers&#8217; pitching staff<\/strong>, known for its ability to get the most out of its pitchers, likely sees Weems as a <strong data-start=\"4188\" data-end=\"4210\">high-upside option<\/strong> to add to their bullpen mix.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4241\" data-end=\"4289\"><strong data-start=\"4245\" data-end=\"4289\">A Potential Fit for the Dodgers\u2019 Bullpen<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4291\" data-end=\"4745\">The <strong data-start=\"4295\" data-end=\"4318\">Los Angeles Dodgers<\/strong> are hoping that Weems can rediscover the form that made him a reliable option with Washington. His ability to generate strikeouts and his power fastball could fit nicely into a bullpen that has already seen several changes. With the <strong data-start=\"4552\" data-end=\"4579\">Dodgers\u2019 bullpen issues<\/strong> from last season, bringing in Weems on a <strong data-start=\"4621\" data-end=\"4642\">minor league deal<\/strong> could pay off if he performs well in <strong data-start=\"4680\" data-end=\"4699\">spring training<\/strong> and earns a spot in the major league bullpen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4747\" data-end=\"5065\">While Weems\u2019 big league career has had its ups and downs, the <strong data-start=\"4809\" data-end=\"4856\">Dodgers\u2019 reputation for developing pitchers<\/strong> makes this signing a potentially valuable move. Weems might not have been a top-tier reliever in recent seasons, but the <strong data-start=\"4978\" data-end=\"5014\">Dodgers\u2019 pitching infrastructure<\/strong> could help him reach a new level of effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5067\" data-end=\"5125\"><strong data-start=\"5071\" data-end=\"5125\">The Dodgers&#8217; Roster Moves Ahead of Spring Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5127\" data-end=\"5658\">With <strong data-start=\"5132\" data-end=\"5151\">spring training<\/strong> officially starting on <strong data-start=\"5175\" data-end=\"5225\">Friday at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona<\/strong>, the Dodgers will have a chance to see how <strong data-start=\"5269\" data-end=\"5300\">Weems fits into their plans<\/strong>. Along with the other pitchers in camp, he will be competing for a spot in what is likely to be a highly competitive bullpen. The <strong data-start=\"5431\" data-end=\"5456\">Dodgers&#8217; front office<\/strong> has made it clear that they are committed to improving their bullpen depth, and <strong data-start=\"5537\" data-end=\"5556\">Weems\u2019 addition<\/strong> is part of their broader effort to make sure they are prepared for a deep postseason run in <strong data-start=\"5649\" data-end=\"5657\">2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5660\" data-end=\"5977\">Given the <strong data-start=\"5670\" data-end=\"5708\">Dodgers\u2019 tight bullpen competition<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"5710\" data-end=\"5719\">Weems<\/strong> will need to prove that he can contribute to a team with <strong data-start=\"5777\" data-end=\"5805\">World Series aspirations<\/strong>. His ability to adjust and perform in <strong data-start=\"5844\" data-end=\"5863\">spring training<\/strong> could determine whether he makes the <strong data-start=\"5901\" data-end=\"5923\">Opening Day roster<\/strong> or heads back to <strong data-start=\"5941\" data-end=\"5953\">Triple-A<\/strong> to continue developing.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5979\" data-end=\"6030\"><strong data-start=\"5983\" data-end=\"6030\">Conclusion: A Low-Risk, High-Reward Signing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"6032\" data-end=\"6591\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The <strong data-start=\"6036\" data-end=\"6072\">Dodgers\u2019 signing of Jordan Weems<\/strong> is a <strong data-start=\"6078\" data-end=\"6108\">low-risk, high-reward move<\/strong> aimed at adding more depth to their bullpen. While Weems\u2019 big league resume is far from perfect, his fastball velocity and potential for refinement make him an intriguing option for the Dodgers, who are looking to bolster their pitching staff in preparation for a <strong data-start=\"6373\" data-end=\"6397\">2026 postseason push<\/strong>. Whether he cracks the Opening Day roster or not, the signing reflects the <strong data-start=\"6473\" data-end=\"6529\">Dodgers&#8217; commitment to addressing bullpen weaknesses<\/strong> and maximizing the potential of every player in their system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px absolute bottom-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES DODGERS SIGN JORDAN WEEMS: A BOLSTERED BULLPEN IN THE MAKING The Los Angeles Dodgers are leaving nothing to chance as they enter the 2026 season,&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":151553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-151550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8REPORT: &quot;Dodgers Sign Ex-Astros Righty in Last-Minute Bullpen Move \u2014 A Bold Gamble for October!&quot; \u2013 With the trade deadline looming, the Dodgers have shocked everyone by signing a former Astros right-hander, making a last-minute bullpen move that could change everything for their postseason hopes.
