Asuaje signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Friday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Asuaje was released by the Cubs in May and failed to land with another organization during the 2020 season. However, he'll join the Dodgers heading into 2021, and he'll serve as a non-roster invitee during spring training. The 29-year-old spent the entire 2019 season with Triple-A Reno, slashing .239/.339/.403 with five home runs and 29 RBI, and he's likely to serve as organizational depth next year.

Asuaje was released by the Cubs on Thursday, Andersen Pickard of Primetimesportstalk.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old infielder was one of several Cubs minor leaguers who were released. He played in the majors from 2016 through 2018 as a member of the Padres organization and hit .239 with five home runs in 59 games at Triple-A last year with the Diamondbacks.

Asuaje was assigned to minor-league camp Tuesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Asuaje was in camp as a non-roster invitee but always seemed like a long shot to win a roster spot. He'll have a shot to add to his 586 career big-league plate appearances at some point this season, but with a career .240/.312/.329 slash line, the Cubs probably hope they don't have to turn to him.

Asuaje signed a minor-league contract with Chicago on Monday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Asuaje spent the 2019 season in Arizona's farm system, slashing .239/.339/.403 with five home runs and 29 RBI for Triple-A Reno. He hasn't made an appearance in the big leagues since the 2018 campaign while with San Diego, though he'll have a chance to crack the 25-man roster for the Cubs to begin the year with a strong spring.

Asuaje signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Asuaje moved to the Korean Baseball Organization over the offseason but didn't make it through a full season overseas. The 27-year-old had a .196/.286/.280 slash line in 218 plate appearances with the Padres last season.

Asuaje was purchased by the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Organization from the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Asuaje will head overseas after the Rangers claimed him off waivers from San Diego earlier this month. The infielder played in 79 games for the Padres last year, slashing .196/.286/.280 with two home runs and 19 RBI.

Asuaje is expected to be purchased by the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Organization from the Rangers on Sunday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Texas claimed Asuaje off waivers from San Diego, but he didn't figure to be anything more than a reserve infielder if he did stick around. Instead, it seems like he'll be headed to the hitter-friendly KBO, where he'll presumably work to recoup his value and garner more interest on the free agent market in the future.

Asuaje was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Asuaje has appeared in 175 games over the last three seasons with the Padres, hitting .240/.312/.329. Those numbers are acceptable enough for a utility infielder but hardly make him a fantasy asset, and the fact that he doesn't play shortstop may make it harder for him to win a bench spot in Texas.

Asuaje was designated for assignment by San Diego on Friday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Asuaje played in 79 games for the Padres this past year but slashed a dreadful .196/.286/.280 with just two home runs and 19 RBI. This move allowed the club to free up another spot on the 40-man roster while Asuaje will take a spin through waivers to determine if he will remain in the organization.

Asuaje was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Asuaje was up for just five days this time around and did not receive a start. He'll be replaced on the roster by Luis Urias, who was called up in a corresponding move. Asuaje will likely return to San Diego when rosters expand in September.
