Dodgers acquire infielder Christian Cairo from Mets at GM Meetings

The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed infielder Christian Cairo off waivers from the New York Mets on November 9 during the GM Meetings. Cairo, 25, fills a roster spot vacated by retired infielder Miguel Rojas. A former fourth-round draft pick, Cairo has yet to make his MLB debut but played 128 games at Triple-A this season. He was designated for assignment by the Mets on November 2, after a brief tenure following his claim from the Philadelphia Phillies. The Dodgers appear to value his on-base ability, as he walked more often than he struck out at Triple-A this year.
