After spending his entire pro baseball career with the Arizona Diamondbacks, free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock is headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to reports Thursday.

USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Pollock's deal with the Dodgers will be for a guaranteed four years and $50 million.

The 31-year-old Pollock was selected by the Diamondbacks in the first round of the 2009 MLB Draft. He has a .281 batting average with 74 home runs and 103 stolen bases in six MLB seasons. He hit .257 with 21 home runs, 13 stolen bases and 65 RBIs in 113 games last season.

Pollock was a 2015 MLB All-Star Game selection and 2015 Gold Glove Award winner.

The D-backs have seen numerous former All-Stars depart during the 2018-19 offseason, including pitcher Patrick Corbin, who signed a free-agent deal with the Washington Nationals, and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals.
