Jason Heyward Signs New Deal with Los Angeles Dodgers

MLB Veteran Returns to LA After Impressive 2023 Campaign

Heyward: "I'm Excited to Be Back in Los Angeles"

After a breakout season in 2023 that saw him bat .269 with 15 home runs, Jason Heyward has signed a one-year deal worth $9 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The move keeps Heyward in LA after a successful stint with the team last year.

Heyward, who initially signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers during the offseason, has expressed excitement about his return to the team. "I'm thrilled to be back in Los Angeles," Heyward said in a statement. "The city and the fans have embraced me, and I'm eager to contribute to the team's success this season."

Heyward's signing is a significant boost for the Dodgers, who are looking to build on their strong 2023 campaign. The veteran outfielder brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the team, and his power-hitting ability is expected to bolster the Dodgers' offense.
