Despite a rather quiet offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers still completed a three-team trade with the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals that netted southpaw Scott Alexander and Jake Peter.
Alexander is coming off a breakout campaign for the Royals in which he posted a 2.48 ERA and 3.23 FIP over 69 innings with a ground ball rate of 73.3 percent — good for the second-best mark among qualified relievers.
The 28-year-old has lived up to his reputation and expectations in camp thus far, utilizing a power sinker that has generated a plethora of ground balls in the early going.
