The Salt: 2020 should have been the year of Corey Baird

Related Topics: Jefferson Savarino

When we started in on 2020 (which is a sentence that has way more weight than I thought it did a year ago,) I was confident that Corey Baird could be a difference-maker for this team.

I also thought he kind of needed to be, with Jefferson Savarino leaving for Brazil in an unfortunate-if-understandable move that left RSL with a bit of cash.

See, Baird was the only player on the wing that had proven anything with us. He was the 2018 Rookie of the Year. 2019 might have seemed a little bit of a slump, but it was not too surprising to see that sophomore effort.
