Daniel Robert, a reliever the Philadelphia Phillies acquired in a trade with the Texas Rangers during last season, revealed shocking news about his offseason earlier in spring training back in February. His medical issue was a reminder that players are lucky to play this game and that many things in life are more significant. The most important thing is a player's health.
The right-hander revealed he initially suffered a serious cardiovascular event during his final bullpen session of the year at the end of October last year. It was a life-altering occurrence that he remains grateful the Phillies' medical personnel were present to save him.
