Kela signed a minor league contract in September with the Dodgers after spending the majority of the season in the Diamondbacks' system rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The 29-year-old right-hander has plenty of experience in high-leverage situations and will look to rebuild his value overseas in Korea this season.
