In some methods, Edwin Rios’s time on the Dodgers wasn’t all that lengthy or eventful. He had simply 291 profession plate appearances with the big-league membership, with a .219 batting common and a 109 OPS+. However, he was drafted by LA practically eight years in the past, he performed with Los Angeles in 4 straight seasons, and he hit two house runs within the 2020 NLCS on the best way to incomes himself a World Sequence ring.
His time with the Dodgers resulted in November when the workforce determined to non-tender him, and that ending turned official on Friday when he signed with the Cubs. And regardless of the comparatively brief tenure in LA, Rios shared a heartfelt due to Dodger followers on social media.
Rios has a few of the finest uncooked energy in baseball, and he’s proven it usually within the minors and fairly a bit within the majors, too.
