Mann was traded from the Dodgers to the Royals on Aug. 1 along with Derlin Figueroa in exchange for Ryan Yarbrough.

EDGE Analysis

Mann was the epitome of a spare part for the Dodgers, as he doesn't project to add much value with the glove or hit enough to get significant playing time on a first-division team. He has seen time at third base, first base, second base and left field while batting .304/.401/.535 with 15 home runs and 104 strikeouts in 407 plate appearances at Triple-A this season.

Mann was reassigned Thursday to the minor-league side of Dodgers camp, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mann got a lot of run in the Cactus League this spring and showed pretty well with a .775 OPS over 18 games, but he was never considered a likely candidate for the Opening Day roster. The 26-year-old will presumably return to Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the 2023 campaign. He posted an .826 OPS with five home runs in 44 games at OKC to close out the 2022 campaign.

Mann has been added to the Dodgers' 60-man roster, Ted Schultz of The Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mann, a 2018 fifth-round draft pick by the Dodgers, was slated to open the season with Double-A Tulsa before the minor-league season was canceled. In 98 games with High-A Rancho Cucamonga last season, the 23-year-old slashed .278/.358/.496 with 19 home runs and 63 RBI. He's unlikely to see big-league playing time in 2020, but Mann's addition to the player pool will keep him from losing a full season of development.

Mann will play for Glendale in the Arizona Fall League, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The selection to the AFL will give Mann an opportunity to extend his strong season among many of baseball's top prospects. The 22-year-old has spent most of 2019 with High-A Rancho Cucamonga, hitting .277 with 18 home runs and 60 RBI in 350 at-bats.
