The Dodgers announced their group of non-roster invitees to big league camp. They revealed in that announcement that theyve re-signed catcher  to a minor league deal. Right-hander  and outfielder  , neither of whom has reached the majors, also receive MLB invites after signing minor league contracts earlier in the offseason.  Okey, who turned 30 last month, has nine games of major league experience. He appeared in seven games for the Reds in 2022 and suited up twice for the Angels two seasons ago. The former second-round pick signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers going into last season. He hit .236/.283/.327 through 45 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City. Rollie Fingers Jersey  Okey carries a .242/.306/.363 batting line acro s 769 Triple-A plate appearances.  ,  and  are all on the 40-man roster. Top prospect  (who also received an invite to big league camp) is likely headed back to Oklahoma City to start the season. Okey figures to back him up at the top minor league level. Feduccia still has two option years remaining and will probably also be in Triple-A as long as Smith and Barnes are healthy.  Jarvis, 24, is a former fifth-round pick by Milwaukee. The Brewers traded him to the Mets for  at the 2023 deadline. Jarvis started 10 of 28 appearances between New Yorks top two affiliates last season. He combined for a 4.55 earned run average with decent if unspectacular strikeout (21.9%) and walk (7.8%) marks. Dean is a 28-year-old who spent most of last year with Atlantas Double-A team. He hit .244/.332/.321 but stole 47 bases in 92 games. He can play all three outfield positions.  J.t. Ginn Jersey
