The former Dodgers director of amateur scouting who brought Matt Kemp, Clayton Kershaw, Corey Seager, and others to the Dodgers has retired.

The Dodgers took a chance on Alexis Díaz during the year to help a struggling bullpen, one that didn’t work out

Kim pitched for three innings, throwing just 36 pitches, and managed to keep Team Veteran scoreless. He managed two strikeouts in the outing, allowing three hits and no walks. The exhibition game ended 10-10 after seven innings, and a Home Run Derby came afterwards.

The Dodgers have a seemingly insatiable hunger for winning, and it was proven in a seven-game series brawl against the Toronto Blue Jays when Dave Roberts' team fell behind 3-2 and had to win twice in Toronto to raise the Commissioner's Trophy yet again.
