The Dodgers added pitcher Logan Allen on a minor league deal, Shi Davidi of SportsNet reported on Thursday. Allen on Thursday himself posted pictures of himself at Camelback Ranch on Instagram as well.
Allen pitched in parts of five seasons in the majors, the last coming in 2024 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 45 career games, including 15 starts, Allen has a 5.79 ERA in 124 1/3 innings, with 89 strikeouts and 52 walks for the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Guardians, Baltimore Orioles, and Diamondbacks.

Last season, Allen had a 4.53 ERA in 32 games, including 31 starts for the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization, with 149 strikeouts and 67 walks in 173 innings.
The left-hander, who allowed one run in 3 1/3 innings in two relief appearances for Canada in the World Baseball Classic, turns 29 in May.
There’s another left-handed pitcher named Logan Allen in the majors, a starter for Cleveland, who pitched for Panama during the WBC. Ahead of the March 8 game in Pool A between Canada and Panama, both Logans Allen had a face-off after the national anthem to see which one would remain on the field the longest, akin to Scott Van Slyke and Joe Kelly during the 2013 National League Championship Series in St. Louis.

Allen is the second former major league pitcher to sign a minor league deal with the Dodgers after spending 2025 in the KBO. Left-hander Cole Irvin made 28 starts for Doosan last season before signing with the Dodgers in February. Irvin pitched in four Cactus League games, including two starts, before getting reassigned to minor league camp on March 16.
Should Allen end up in the majors with the Dodgers, he is out of minor league options, having used them from 2019-21 while with San Diego and Cleveland.
