The Dodgers have made perhaps their most important move in the offseason, locking down one of the game's best outfielders.
Arizona Central Sports reports:
Former Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to multiple reports.
Pollock, 31, who spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Diamondbacks, was a free agent.
He went .281 with 74 home runs and 264 RBIs during his time in Arizona.
His lone All-Star season came in 2015 when he hit .315 with 20 homers and 76 RBIs. He also stole 39 bases.

Pollock's deal, which was first reported by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, was expected to be a five-year contract.
The Diamondbacks will receive a compensatory draft pick for Pollock after extending him a qualifying offer in November.
It will either be after the first round or after a competitive balance round, depending on the amount of guaranteed money he receives in Los Angeles.
