LOS ANGELES — Unless that Cash Considerations fella turns into an All-Star, this is going to go down as one very lopsided trade.
Back in June, Trayce Thompson was putting up a .992 OPS at Triple-A with his second organization of the season and his ninth in the past five years. But somehow the dreadful Detroit Tigers had no use for him other than to send him to the Dodgers for cash.
Plucked from the obscurity of northern Ohio and returned to his native California, Thompson has flourished. He hit a three-run home run and drove in four runs off last year’s National League Cy Young Award winner, Corbin Burnes, as the Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 10-1, Tuesday night.
