Corey Seager, Los Angeles Dodgers
Seager’s season was cut incredibly short due to undergoing Tommy John surgery, but there are a couple pieces of silver lining here. Without his injury, the Dodgers wouldn’t have acquired Manny Machado, and it happened early enough so that Seager at least has a shot at starting the regular season on the field instead of on the disabled list.
Getting their incumbent shortstop back into the fold is likely a big reason why Los Angeles was never connected in a meaningful way to Machado or Harper this winter.
Finding a way for Seager to have as normal of a spring as possible without pushing him too hard will be crucial for the Dodgers. After all, they’re fresh off two disappointing results in the World Series and haven’t won a title in more than three decades now. So you could say the pressure is mounting just a bit. It’s always a little easier to handle with your former Rookie fo the Year and leader back in the lineup on a daily basis.
