The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Michael Comforto aerobed in a one -year contract of $ 17 million during the offseason. The short term of comfort with the dodgers was at least disappointing.

The old All-Star strikes .162 with two circuits and six points struck this season. He has an OPS of .563 on 154 Bats. Comforto went 1 for 17 in the last six games of the Dodgers.
While it seemed that Comforto only undergone a crisis at the start of the season, the outfall remained cold in the marble and frankly becomes a responsibility in the programming.
The Dodgers have clearly indicated that victory is their absolute priority. Two of the oldest players of the Austin Barnes team and Chris Taylor were cut in the middle of a tight division race in the NL West.
If the players do not produce, the dodgers are obviously not afraid to remove them from the list. We do not know if Comforto will be cut soon, but Kerry Miller de Bleacher Report has appointed the outflow as one of the biggest busts of the season.
“Michael Comforto has really become the” One of these things is not like the other “player in this Dodgers range which is also ridiculously loaded”, writes Miller. “For a little over there – with Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernández on the Il while Hyeseong Kim was just starting to cut their teeth at the MLB level – they had no choice but to keep comforto as an ordinary left field player.
“Now, however, they have 10 solid active ingredients at their disposal – 11 if you are already counting recently promoted the best hope Dalton Rushing, which can play the left field, for the record – and each appearance of a given plaque with Comforto and its .448 Ops (with a single RBI!) Dating from April 6, feels like a missed opportunity to do much more.”
Miller maintains that Dodgers cannot even use Comforto as a business with the deadline which approaches given its poor performance in the first two months of the season.
“At this point, they could probably not even exchange it,” adds Miller. “If he does not start to show legitimate signs of life, he may well have to bite the ball and drop him as the astros did with José Abreu last June.”
