The Los Angeles Dodgers unexpectedly released Austin Barnes after over a decade with the team, signaling a shift towards younger talent as Dalton Rushing was promoted from Triple-A. Rushing, regarded as a top prospect, is expected to back up Will Smith while learning from seasoned players. His impressive .308 average and .938 OPS in Triple-A underscored the decision. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the need for offensive improvement, making a clear statement that the organization's focus remains on winning the next championship.
You look at who I'm surrounded by, and it's some of the best baseball players to learn from... I think I can take in information very well.
I just think that for us right now, with what Dalton Rushing is doing on the performance side, it's an opportunity to challenge him... and essentially give him some runway.
