Wow. The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed Outfielder Andrew Toles who has schizophrenia and hasn’t played since 2018, so he would still have access to the team’s health insurance and mental health services.
Toles is not expected to play for the Dodgers this season and will likely never play again. Signing with the team will allow him to continue to receive treatment, including counseling, therapy, and medication.
The team was first alerted something was wrong when Toles did not report to spring training in 2019.
Later, the team learned Toles was found sleeping behind a FedEx building at Key West International Airport. Sadly, Toles is just a shadow of his former self.
He was taken to a mental health facility after the incident and the Dodgers recognized the tragic loss of his playing abilities and wanted to ensure he would always have access to care.
2023 is the fifth straight year the Dodgers have re-signed him.
This extraordinary story wasn’t learned about for years.
It gives you a glimpse that sometimes, good gestures are done for good reasons and not for publicity.

This. Is. Terrible. The game is becoming unwatchable in all new ways. For the “it’s the rule” crowd, save it. You complained loudly when it wasn’t. This isn’t fantasy baseball. Players careers ride on these numbers. It’s embarrassing.
Bottom of the ninth. Tie game. Bases loaded. Full count. The dream scenario. And ... Cal Conley didn't get set in the batter's box with 8 seconds left on the pitch clock.
Umpire calls an automatic strike. At-bat over. Inning over. This is the new reality. https://t.co/Bv5k2xJ06j
This absolutely makes me furious. All season the Bears and Fields have been getting hosed on calls. It’s “protect the QB’s” unless he’s the young Black guy who can run.

Dr. Fauci told us in May of last year, “When people are vaccinated they can feel safe that they are not going to get infected.” A year later, after four covid shots, Fauci got covid. Whoops!
Commanders rookie QB Sam Howell says he only eats chicken.
He's never tried a burger or a steak and won't eat seafood. He orders chicken tenders at steakhouses and brings his own tenders to team dinners.

What are we doing…whoever thought of this rule…and whoever voted for this kind of rule should no longer be anywhere near the game of baseball! Embarrassing! https://t.co/oRRKjk1jJu
