Michael Busch (No. 29 in your program) was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers, January 12, 2024, notoriously for Jackson Ferris and Zyhir Hope, who are panning out in the low minors but have yet to impact The Show. Yency Almonte, who was briefly effective, came along for the ride.
Busch himself slashed .248/.335/.440, with a 2.8 bWAR (2.3 fWAR). He was dinged some for his perceived lack of defense at his position but improved greatly during the season and is at least a league-average glove now. He seems to have decent instincts for the game and his bat was a little more potent than was expected, especially for one five-game stretch.
