After the 2016 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers needed an everyday second baseman, so they turned to the trade market.
They were linked to Brian Dozier of the Minnesota Twins for a while, but instead completed a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire Logan Forsythe in exchange for prized pitching prospect Jose De Leon.
Forsythe had a rough offensive season for the Dodgers in 2017, so he came back in 2018 looking to prove that wasn’t who he was as a player and that he could return to his previous form with the Rays.
That didn’t end up being the case though as Forsythe was actually worse offensively in 2018 than he was the season prior.
