It’s funny how things work out in baseball sometimes. It doesn’t seem like long ago that Dodgers fans were begging the front office to make a trade with the Twins for Brian Dozier. And why not? The Minnesota second baseman was slugging 30-40 homeruns and lighting up the box score for a short period.
But Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers did not budge on their asking price. The Twins wanted some of Los Angeles’ top talent at the minor league level back then, but they weren’t getting anywhere. Instead, the Twins would hold onto Dozier until his career started to take a downward turn.
