In Jackson, the Royals get a 26-year-old infielder who can fill in at shortstop and serve as organizational depth. He won't challenge starting shortstop Escobar or veteran second baseman Infante for their jobs but could carve out a place on the Kansas City bench in 2015.

The Dodgers parted ways with Jackson despite their current hole at shortstop, following the loss of free agent Ramirez to the Boston Red Sox. LA is said to be in the market for a new shortstop, and they still have the likes of Turner Guerrero and Barney for middle infield depth.

Jackson would need to receive significant playing time in KC in order to become fantasy-relevant, which is not likely to happen in 2015. There is nothing to see here.
