Longtime Los Angeles Dodgers scout Mike Brito has died, the team announced Thursday afternoon.
During almost 45 years with the Dodgers, Brito was an influential member of their scouting department.
He signed a teenage Fernando Valenzuela in 1979. He helped bring Yasiel Puig and Julio Urias to the club in recent years. And for decades, his Panama hat and mustached grin made him an immediately recognizable sight around Chavez Ravine.
