What happened in 2016: Acquired in 3-way trade with Reds and White Sox. Was great before breaking his back.
Trayce Thompson has always been athletic and talented, but he never put it all together in the minors consistently. A taste of the majors in 2015 offered some optimism, and the Dodgers took a chance on him in the deal. Early on, it looked like it would pay off in spades.
Thompson, despite some early defensive miscues, was a monster at the plate after Carl Crawford got hurt and Andre Ethier broke his leg in Spring Training.
