The Dodgers adding Mookie Betts to their team was one of the best moves in the organization’s history. We can only hope that the one that they made this week will pay off and that his knack for baseball runs in the family.
The Dodgers signed Nick Shumpert last month, a former top prospect who could have been a first-round pick. After turning down a significant signing bonus with the Tigers in 2015, Shumpert has struggled to make headway into Major League Baseball. In fact, he’s been away from affiliated ball since 2018, per The Athletic.
