Amed Rosario Landing Spots: 3 potential destinations for former Dodgers infielder

On October 30, Amed Rosario likely watched his former teammates on the Dodgers flood the field at Yankee Stadium in celebration of their World Series win. Mere months before, Rosario had a locker in the clubhouse.

On August 18, the Dominican was claimed off of waivers from the Dodgers by the Reds. Three weeks prior, he had arrived in LA via a trade with the Rays.

Now, the 29-year-old utility infielder is looking for some continuity. Today, we will be exploring three teams that could benefit from signing Amed Rosario.

Top Three Landing Spots for Amed Rosario

3. Chicago White Sox

After finishing dead last in MLB with a historically poor 41-121 record, the Chicago White Sox are picking up the pieces. While they may not be poised for contention, a pickup like Rosario could be a solid first step.

As it stands now, 24-year-old Lenyn Sosa is the team's best player at both second base and shortstop. Although Sosa has shown poise, his eight homers in 100 games are hardly indicative of power. With Rosario, the Sox could acquire speed and experience at an attractive price.

2. St. Louis Cardinals

After trading shortstop Tommy Edman to the Dodgers, the former St. Louis Cardinals shortstop recently signed a five-year, $74 million deal. As such, St. Louis will be looking for a replacement.

22-year-old Masyn Winn played 148 games at shortstop for St. Louis in 2024. During that time, Winn hit a respectable 15 homers and 57 RBIs. However, Winn is still incredibly young. He may be the future for the Cards at the position, but adding a voice like Rosario could go a long way as Winn and 27-year-old second baseman Brendan Donovan grow into the players that their team needs them to be.

1. Los Angeles Angels

Unlike the other two teams listed, it looks like the Los Angeles Angels are set at shortstop. Sophomore Zach Neto had a breakout 2024, hitting .249/.318/.443 with 23 homers and 77 RBIs as a 23-year-old.

However, a look elsewhere on the diamond reveals some questions. Despite making $35 million per year, Anthony Rendon has not even competed in half a season since 2019, while Luis Rengifo is also snakebitten by injury. For GM Perry Minasian, a pickup like Amed Rosario provides an experienced and versatile glove for the AL West team as they seek to snap their ten-year postseason drought in 2025.
