What Happened in 2016: The Dodgers acquired Fields at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, after which he showed glimpses of being a capable relief option.
The Dodgers made three trades at the 2016 trade deadline, the last of which was acquiring Josh Fields from the Astros for Yordan Alvarez, the Dodgers’ final July 2 signing back on June 15.
Fields is actually somewhat similar to Kenley Jansen. Well, at least he’s similar in the same way that turkey bacon is similar to real bacon.
