One of the biggest surprises of the first week of the Dodgers 2023 season is the play of Jason Heyward. The Dodgers signed the longtime MLB veteran to a minor league deal this offseason, in what seemed to be a non-factor type of move.
Heyward, however, immediately started putting in work at Dodger Stadium, and once his friend Freddie Freeman started singing his praises, it became clear that this move had a little more to it.
Then, Heyward started getting some hits in spring training, and it didn’t take long for Dave Roberts to confirm that he would be on the Opening Day roster.
