When Major League Baseball suspended all operations more than one month ago, players were left with a choice to remain in the city of their Spring Training complex, head to their team’s home, or where they spend the offseason.
Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman indicated the expectation was the organization’s players would be split relatively evenly between the three options. Multiple Dodgers, including Cody Bellinger and Kiké Hernandez, make their homes in Arizona.
Hernandez spent the entirety of this past offseason training in The Grand Canyon State, which he believed was extremely beneficial in preparing for what was shaping to be a key season.
