Alex Who? First Eight Innings

Early in the 2021 season, that question was asked by more than a few Dodger fans. The Dodgers were in search of a left-handed reliever and there were several well-known options available, at least in trade. So what did Andrew Friedman do? He did as he often seems to do. He acquired a player with whom we were not all that familiar or we simply wondered why.

On February 12, 2021, the Miami Marlins traded LHP Alex Vesia and RHP Kyle Hurt to the Dodgers for Dylan Floro. Floro had been a reliable reliever for the Dodgers who was still only 30 years old.
