Andy McCullough of the LA Times wrote about the one that got away from the Dodgers. Yordy Alvarez. Sigh.
“The Dodgers agreed to trade him for Fields. They have watched from afar as Alvarez has blossomed into a 6-foot-5, 225-pound force. Fields was cut by the Dodgers this spring after 2 1/2 seasons.”
MLB.com wrote an article on why you should root for Joc Pederson in the home run derby. It’s very convincing.
