Dodgers bring back Alex Wood in surprising move
Photo by: Stacie WheelerIf you had asked me before free agency began, I’d say one of the least likely players to sign as a free agent would have been Yasiel Puig. Next on that list, probably, would have been Alex Wood. Well…
Color me surprised (yes, I know “surprised” isn’t a color). Wood, 29 today, was famously traded last winter in the Kyle Farmer trade. He struggled with injuries in Cincinnati — not unlike most of his career — and pitched to an ugly 5.80 ERA, 6.38 FIP, 13.7 K-BB% and a ridiculously unsustainable 29.7 HR/FB%.
