Dodgers sign Mark Bellhorn to minor-league deal

Happened about 2 1/2 weeks ago, very much under the radar. He went to extended spring because he hadn’t been signed before spring training and hadn’t been to spring training with anyone, then reported to Double-A Jacksonville yesterday and made his debut last night, going 2 for 2 with a double and a walk in a 6-2 win over Birmingham. He was signed by assistant GM DeJon Watson for the purpose of filling a roster spot in J-ville, NOT for the purpose of helping out at the big-league level, and no promises were made. That doesn’t mean he WON’T be coming to the big leagues, but that isn’t the reason he was signed, and he isn’t going to Triple-A anytime soon, either. This is strictly a minor-league signing.
