What happened in 2016: Louis Coleman was an important part of the Dodgers’ bullpen through the first two months of the season. His effectiveness diminished as the season went on, partly due to shoulder fatigue that led to a month-long disabled list stint.
Coleman fell out of favor with the Royals and was released in February 2016 after Kansas City acquired Ryan Madson. After he left the only organization he had ever played for, Coleman voiced his feelings about leaving the Royals with Bill Plunkett of the OC Register at Spring Training last year.
