The Los Angeles Dodgers traded pitching prospect Jose De Leon for a second baseman. But it wasn't Brian Dozier.

De Leon, said to be the Twins' primary target in trade talks for Dozier, was shipped to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, the teams announced, with second baseman Logan Forsythe headed to Los Angeles.

The trade almost certainly ends any talks with the Dodgers about Dozier, whose 42 home runs last season were the most ever by an AL second baseman, and probably means Dozier will open the 2017 season with the Twins.

De Leon, 24, made his big league debut in September and was 2-0 with a 6.35 ERA in four starts, but he remained one of the highest-rated pitching prospects in the game. New Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey, however, was believed to be holding out for at least one other top prospect from the Dodgers.

Forsythe, 30, hit a career-high 20 homers last year, when he hit .264 with 52 RBI in 127 games.

The Dodgers are excited about acquiring Forsythe, a player manager Dave Roberts knows from the second baseman's days with the San Diego Padres.

"We feel like he will fit in incredibly well with the fabric of our group," Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said, adding that obtaining Forsythe fills the team's "most acute need" after it re-signed three free agents in closer Kenley Jansen, third baseman Justin Turner and starting pitcher Rich Hill.

"He's a grinder, a professional hitter who can really handle left-handed pitching and has some versatility," Friedman said.
