Trayce Thompson originally joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in the middle of last season via a trade with the Detroit Tigers. He came during a stretch where LA was suffering from injuries and he provided a much-needed spark amidst his arrival. The 31-year-old would fluctuate to end the season and his production wasn’t always consistent but he clearly showed potential of playing a significant role within the squad.
Thompson has also made it clear how much he values this opportunity to suit up for the Boys in Blue and contributed to the World Series expectations that others have voiced despite losing some veteran talent in the offseason.
