Former Dodger Infielder Joins Team's Front Office

"Right now, I'm happy with what we're doing, which is spending some time with the Dodgers and the front office and their players, but also have some time for my family. The exact responsibilities of that position, however, remain a little nebulous, and Utley told "Dodger Talk" that he's "trying to feel it out.""

"In 2022, Utley and his family relocated to London so he could be an MLB ambassador to Europe, a role that involves "working to introduce more and more people to baseball in Europe." It involves work at the grassroots level, educating the media about baseball, promotional work and more."

"Utley's time in the MLB is probably most associated with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he played nearly 13 seasons before being traded to the Dodgers. Utley won a World Series in 2008 with the Phillies and remains beloved in Philadelphia, though people sometimes forget he starred for the UCLA Bruins before his time in the pros."

Chase Utley, a former Los Angeles Dodgers star, has returned from London to take on a new role with the team. He now serves as special assistant to president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, though the exact responsibilities remain somewhat undefined as Utley continues to understand the position. Previously, Utley spent time in London as an MLB ambassador to Europe, working to promote baseball across the continent through grassroots efforts, media education, and promotional activities. Utley's baseball career was primarily defined by his 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he won a World Series in 2008 and established himself as a six-time All-Star. He later played for the Dodgers from ages 36 to 39, posting modest statistics before transitioning to his ambassadorial role.
