DUNEDIN, Fla. — Logan Allen, fresh off a couple of appearances for Canada at the World Baseball Classic, signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to an industry source on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old spent last season with the NC Dinos of the KBO, logging 173 innings over 32 games — all but one a start — while posting a 4.53 ERA with 149 strikeouts. He had been bound for Tijuana in the Mexican league until the deal with the two-time World Series champions, seeking to bolster their depth at triple-A Oklahoma City, came together.
Allen, a West Palm Beach, Fla., native whose father is from Montreal, has appeared in parts of five big-league seasons with San Diego, Cleveland, Baltimore and Arizona with a 5.79 ERA in 45 games.
At the Classic, he came on to record the final out of the ninth inning in a 4-3 loss to Panama before allowing a run over three strong frames in a 3-2 win over Puerto Rico.
