Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell., and I’m wondering why the Dodgers gave up on Carl Crawford so quickly.
Goodbye, Carl
And just like that, Carl Crawford is gone. Andrew Friedman and company finally did the right thing and designated him for assignment on Sunday, meaning unless a team is dumb enough to sign him in the next 10 days, the Dodgers will eat the $34.6 million left on his contract.
Now that he is gone, let's take a moment to remember that he wasn't a failure throughout his entire Dodgers career.
