2023 Phillies in Review: Dylan Covey

Baseball has a way of turning its adherents into wanderers. After starting his MLB career in Chicago and Boston (plus a would’ve-been stint in Durham with the Rays’ AAA affiliate canceled by the pandemic), Dylan Covey moved to Taiwan in an attempt to prove that another MLB club should take a chance on him. His 2 seasons in a Rakuten Monkeys jersey were enough to get a contract from the Dodgers and a return stateside. But before he could head to Tinseltown, the Dodgers wanted him to prove himself in AAA ball. That entailed a move to Oklahoma City, following which he was indeed called up to the big club, made one start, and then immediately got waived.
