The Dodgers really tried to make the Dellin Betances signing work. Much as they have for the past near-decade, they took a low-risk chance on a veteran guy that ran into injuries. But Betances was among the elite relievers in baseball before injuries derailed his career.
Back in April, the Dodgers signed Betances to a minor league deal. The hope was that he could work his way back from shoulder issues and a torn Achilles tendon suffered with the Mets in 2019. He’s been at Triple-A Oklahoma City, but they could not make it work.
Betances has opted to retire from baseball rather than continuing his baseball career.
