INDIANAPOLIS – The Yankees took outfielder Jamie Hoffmann with the first overall pick in the Rule 5 Draft, but that did not exactly shake up his old team, the Dodgers.

One Dodger executive said, “I’m glad it is them because we thought we would lose him to a bad team.” Translation: The Dodgers do not think a team as good as the Yankees will be able to keep Hoffmann on their 25-man roster all year, and he will have to be offered back to Los Angeles at some point. So, yes, the Dodgers do want to put Hoffmann back in their system.

A second Dodger executive said, “Unless they can fix his swing, he will not be able to stick (with the Yankees).”
