## Resource

The Diamondbacks made waves by DFAing Alek Thomas, then trading him to the Dodgers — a bold move for their GM. Though Thomas won’t play against his old team this series, he’s rehabbing with the Dodgers’ minor leagues, showing progress and earning praise from former teammate Corbin Carroll. A key contributor to last year’s World Series run, Thomas struggled offensively this season (.181), but his swing adjustments and minor league reps with the Dodgers suggest a comeback is coming. Fans will see the Dodgers plenty this season — and despite the rivalry, respect remains between Thomas and his former squad. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
