Last season, the Los Angeles Dodgers DFA'd Jason Heyward – Freddie Freeman's best friend – who had a .700 OPS. This season, they DFA'd a franchise mainstay in Chris Taylor. What could possibly be standing in the way of them doing the same to an utterly ineffective outfielder on a one-year contract?
This is the question that has Dodgers fans racking their brains in exasperation with every trip Michael Conforto takes to the plate. The veteran outfielder has been a streaky hitter throughout his career, but he has proven to be a downright liability for the Dodgers this year.
