The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t make a lot of changes to their roster this past offseason, but one of their big free-agent signings was inking former Arizona Diamondbacks center fielder A.J. Pollock to a four-year contract.
The move was criticized by many not because of Pollock’s play on the field, but because he has had trouble staying on it in recent years as injuries have hampered him. The Dodgers nonetheless remained confident that was more a product of bad luck than Pollock being injury prone.
His career with Los Angeles got off to a bit of a rocky start, although it was off set by the Dodgers playing well as a team.
