Dodgers Key Reliever Admits He Almost Retired Before Joining LA
Briefly

Anthony Banda, a former MLB journeyman, faced struggles in 2023 with a poor performance before being traded to the Dodgers. Post-trade, he experienced a significant career revival, posting a 3.08 ERA and excelling as a high-leverage reliever. The Dodgers' excellent pitching development played a crucial role in Banda's turnaround, as he credits the team's support for his newfound success and sense of belonging. His journey exemplifies the franchise's ability to transform pitchers, leading to both personal and professional redemption.
At one point I was already getting ready to hang him up... it was just that little guy inside was like, 'Hey, let's keep going. Keep going.'
The Dodgers' reputation is why the defending champions signed the crown jewel of the international signing class, Roki Sasaki.
I feel like I found a home... I'm always going to have a special place of L.A. in my heart as far as because of the fans and the support and love that I've gotten.
This is a familiar tale within the Dodgers organization... helping pitchers become the best version of themselves.
