Utley agreed to a one-year deal with the Dodgers on Sunday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Utley was likely looking for a team willing to give him a starting job or at least real shot at one, but his deal with the Dodgers is a decent indicator that he didn't find one. Barring any injuries or major moves by the Dodgers, he'll compete with Enrique Hernandez and Jose Peraza for playing time at second base while working as the typical veteran bench presence. He'll have to work to improve on career worsts last season in batting average and OPS, but selective bench appearances could help with that.
