When the Dodgers signed both David Peralta and Jason Heyward to one-year deals in the offseason, there were not high expectations for them. The team expected them to help the team out as much as they can, but they weren’t ready for the veterans to be as important as they have been for the lineup.
Heyward is on pace for his best season since his rookie year and Peralta is playing like he was at the peak of his career with the Diamondbacks.
As the vets continue to be a staple in the lineup for the Dodgers, manager Dave Roberts has started showing his appreciation for what the two players are bringing to the team.
