Following an impressive 2017 campaign with Triple-Oklahoma City in which he was named Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Year, the Los Angeles Dodgers included journeyman Wilmer Font on their 2018 Opening Day roster.
The right-hander struggled in Spring Training, but still earned a spot in the Dodgers’ bullpen to begin the year due in part to him being out of Minor League options. Font’s woes carried over into April, when he pitched to an 11.32 ERA in 10.1 innings over six appearances.
The Dodgers saw enough and designated him for assignment later that month before eventually trading him to the Oakland Athletics for Logan Salow.
