Introduction
In last year’s review of Sean Poppen, Jim McLennan already summarised Sean Poppen’s flight to the desert. He was a 19th-round pick by the Twins and picked off waivers by the Pirates. He moved over to the Rays and ended up via waivers in Arizona. From August 2021 until the end of the season he travelled between Reno and Phoenix.
But that might not be what he was remembered for last year.
