Logan Allen: Everything you need to know

Allen agreed to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. After spending the 2025 season in the Korea Baseball Organization with the NC Dinos, Allen became a free agent this winter and initially agreed to a deal with Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican League. However, following a couple of strong appearances for Team Canada in the World Baseball Classic, Allen will wind up forgoing the opportunity in Mexico to join the Dodgers organization. The 28-year-old lefty will likely open the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, though it's unclear whether he'll work out of the bullpen or rotation after serving as a full-time starter in the KBO in 2025.

The NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization signed Allen to a one-year, $1 million contract Tuesday, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports. Allen, 27, holds a career 5.79 ERA in 45 appearances (15 starts) covering parts of five seasons at the big-league level. He'll receive a nice little raise as he applies his trade overseas.
