The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a one-year deal with veteran second baseman Chase Utley on Sunday, fortifying their infield depth as they prepare for bigger and bolder moves at this week’s Winter Meetings, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Utley, 37 this month, was traded to the Dodgers in August after spending his first 12 seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. A six-time All-Star, he played primarily as a backup, a role he’s expected to continue in 2016.

Depending on the results of an appeal, Utley could miss the first two games of the season after Major League Baseball suspended him following an NLDS takeout slide that broke the leg of New York Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada.

Utley joins Kike Hernandez, Jose Peraza and perhaps Justin Turner in a second-base time-share. Hernandez is an utilityman who could complement Corey Seager at shortstop and Joc Pederson in center field, while Peraza has played second and shortstop as well and Turner is the incumbent at third base.

The Dodgers could use their infield and outfield depth to deal for a pitcher after Zack Greinke’s departure to Arizona on Friday. Multiple general managers told Yahoo Sports the price of free agents – Greinke received $206.5 million over six years – is stoking the fire of the trade market.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports first reported the sides were close to a deal.
