The Dodgers have made the decision to designate former top prospect Diego Cartaya for assignment. The move comes after the team signed Hyeseong Kim to a deal.
The Dodgers needed to clear room on the 40-man roster for Kim, who was officially signed to a three-year, $12.5 million deal with a two-year club option for 2028 and 2029. Designating Cartaya for assignment comes as a surprise, though.
Cartaya, 23, was once considered the top prospect in the Dodgers organization.

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a shocking move today, designating former top prospect Diego Cartaya for assignment.
Cartaya, once considered one of the top catching prospects in all of baseball, has struggled to live up to the high expectations placed upon him since signing with the Dodgers as an international free agent in 2018.
Despite showing flashes of potential in the minor leagues, Cartaya has been unable to put it all together at the major league level. His struggles at the plate and behind the dish have led to the Dodgers making the difficult decision to DFA him.
It’s a tough break for Cartaya, who was once seen as a cornerstone of the Dodgers’ future. However, baseball can be a cruel game, and sometimes talented prospects just don’t pan out.
It will be interesting to see if another team takes a chance on Cartaya and tries to unlock the potential that made him such a highly regarded prospect in the first place. Only time will tell what the future holds for Diego Cartaya.
