Former Los Angeles Dodgers minor leaguer Bradley Zimmer has found a new home in the National League West.
As first reported by Thomas Harding of MLB.com, the veteran outfielder has signed a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies.
The #Rockies signed non-roster Bradley Zimmer as a non-roster player to compete for a bench spot because of his ability to play all three OF spots. Hilliard also has those skills. Their presence serves as a buffer so a host of prospects can get Minor League seasoning.

Zimmer signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers in December 2022. He played a bit in spring training but didn't make the big league roster out of camp. He began the season with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers.
Zimmer, 31, played in 31 games and slashed .219/.323/.343 with three home runs, 14 RBIs, and eight stolen bases. However, his time in Oklahoma City was brief. The Dodgers cut ties with Zimmer in May 2023.
The San Diego native has spent time with Cleveland, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Philadelphia Phillies organizations in his career.
Zimmer will get a chance to show his prowess with another team now, and the Dodgers might see him roaming the outfield in Denver soon.
