He is set to participate in the big league camp as a non-roster invitee for Spring Training​​.

It's important to note that this Logan Allen should not be confused with the Cleveland Guardians pitcher who shares the same name.

This Allen, despite his potential, has yet to find significant success in the Major Leagues​. He holds a 5.89 ERA across 33 appearances over his four-year career.
