Olivera signed a six-year 62.5 million dollar deal with the Dodgers this offseason. There has been a long process to get to this point.

He first had to get a proper visa to come to the country. Then Olivera has been dealing with an elbow sprain that caused many suitors to throw up the red flags.

The Dodgers have big plans with the Cuban star. Pairing him with Corey Seager could be a deadly combination for years to come in the infield.
